Dear Laura,
Hope this finds you well. Russian state media is loving this press
release, supposedly from a Cypriot-held Ukrainian natural gas company,
claiming that the Vice President’s son has joined its board of
directors. The news seems rather odd on its face and, if true, would present a fairly glaring
conflict of interest given the VP’s role on Ukraine policy – particularly since the company is
controlled by Nikolai Zlochevsky, who was energy minister and deputy NSC chief under
Yanukovych.
Is this true? What exactly is going on here?
Thanks and best
Max
