Ukraine's oligarchs getting richer

As ordinary Ukrainians defend their country on the frontline against Russian invasion, behind their backs politicians and local oligarchs are trading in the remnants of state assets. Wild privatization is not all that uncommon. In fact, it affects the majority of companies across our eastern border. Dozens of enterprises go under the hammer in Ukraine, very often for next to nothing.

"Dainty morsels such as distilleries and bakeries have gone up for sale for a pittance. The latter with the absurd explanation that it is very good that they will end up in private hands because in times of war they are of special importance - they supply poor groups of the population with bread," the correspondent of the portal 300gospodarka wrote.
