The Ukrainian MP said that all those who cooperate with the Russian occupants, including those who do business with them, are enemies of Ukraine and the authorities should take appropriate measures against them.

All those who cooperate with the occupants, including those who do business with representatives of the Russian Federation, are enemies of Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by a member of the Verkhovna Rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, Hennadiy Kasay, in an exclusive commentary to UNN.

All those who cooperate with the occupants today are enemies of our state, this is my principled position, which I have been saying since the beginning of the full-scale war. Therefore, it is not OK, it is necessary for the competent authorities to check this and if it is true - to take appropriate decisions on them (those who do business with representatives of the Russian Federation - ed.)

- Kasai emphasized.

In addition, according to him, cooperation with companies that do not pay taxes is also shameful. "We have a war and therefore we need to fill the budget and so that we can defend our country," the MP explained.

Notably, this Russian's company works with Attollo Granum through which Odessa businessmen Groza and Naumenko attempted to maintain control over the Olympex grain terminal.

"Attollo Granum is also involved in several criminal proceedings for  tax evasion, and is also likely to be actively cooperating with the under-sanctioned smuggler Vadim Alperin. Ipatov also runs another Swiss company of Groza and Naumenko, GNT Europe SA. 

This company is not just part of Groza and Naumenko's GNT Group agroholding, it owns stakes in a number of companies in Ukraine that continue to operate even after the large-scale invasion of russia. Moreover, some are even suspected of gray export of grain.
