Shefir and Zelensky thus tried to get not only state-guaranteed UAH 200 thousand, but also to return a large amount bypassing the line established by law, according to which the Deposit Guarantee Fund must return the money, “- noted the authors of the investigation.

Investment banker Sergei Fursa told reporters that an attempt to take “theirs” out of the line established by law is “an attempt to get into the pocket of the state, which, as a result of the bankruptcy, was forced to patch up a big hole in the budget of the Deposit Guarantee Fund.”
“We did not have time to deal with legal issues. And we gave someone the right to deal with our legal issues. They will raise this agreement – I will remember,” Shefir commented on the investigation.
