Ukraine’s National Defense and Security Council will consider nationalizing Roshen, said Oleksiy Arestovich, adviser to the Ukrainian delegation to the trilateral contact group to resolve the situation in Donbass.
Oleksiy Arestovich, advisor to the Ukrainian delegation to the trilateral contact group to resolve the situation in Donbass, said that at today’s meeting of the National Defense and Security Council of Ukraine, the nationalization of Roshen will be considered. He made such a statement on his Facebook on February 19.
“At today’s meeting of the NSDC, the nationalization of the Roshen corporation will be considered,” Arestovich said.
The adviser to the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG did not elaborate. Facebook users asked Arestovich if this message was trolling.
“Is this trolling? Or an official statement from an advisor to the head of the President’s Office?” – Asked Vladislav Maistrouk under the charge of Arestovich.
“Followed by the 95th quarter nationalization?” – noted Natalia Yusupova.
Roshen Confectionery Corporation was established by the fifth President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, in 1996. It includes two confectionery factories in Vinnitsa, factories in Kiev, Kremenchug and Russian Lipetsk (production stopped there in January 2017), a confectionery factory Klaipeda in Lithuania, the Hungarian company Bonbonetti Choco Kft, as well as the butter and milk plant in Bershadmoloko (Vinnytsia Region).
During the 2014 election campaign, Poroshenko promised to sell the company if he became president. After winning the election, they brought in Rothschild to sell Roshen. However, the deal was never completed, according to Poroshenko, due to the fighting in Donbas. The former president said Roshen’s assets were not under his control, they were managed by a “blind trust.”
In November 2019, it also emerged that Poroshenko began reregistering her confectionery business with her eldest son Alexei.
At the time of the news release, Petro Poroshenko did not comment on Arestovich’s post.
