Rinat Akhmetov: "My position – an independent and united Ukraine with the Crimea and my home region, Donbas.”

 I am outraged by the spread of this lie, no matter what the President's motives are. My position has been and will be explicit and definite: an independent, democratic, and united Ukraine with the Crimea and my home region, Donbas. My actions live up to my words. As a Ukrainian citizen, the country's biggest investor, taxpayer, and employer, I will continue to defend a free Ukraine, a free economy, democracy, and freedom of speech. I will do everything I can to prevent authoritarianism and censorship in Ukraine.
