He Zlochevsky vowed that the completion of all cases will lead to increased production, investments and timely payment of all company taxes. “The completion of all procedures around companies Burisma Group will allow us to more rapidly increase production, to increase investment in mining, to examine the involvement of international companies in Ukraine, to carry out social and investment obligations, and timely and fully pay all required payments to the budget. This is a big step forward for Ukraine in General and Burisma Group, in particular,” – said the President Burisma Group Mykola Zlochevsky.
According to independent Director of Burisma Alexander Kwasniewski, the decision to close all cases against companies Burisma and its owner Nicholas Zlochevsky demonstrates the maturity of democracy and the independence of court decisions from politics. “It is encouraging that the independent Ukrainian court could make a decision that is fully consistent with the decision of the British court. Decision for Ukraine to Mykola Zlochevsky and the largest gas company Burisma will have another positive impact – more intensive construction of non-volatile state, as Burisma Group will be able to increase the volume of domestic natural gas production of Ukraine and contributions to the budget of the country. Especially today, Ukraine needs to join any projects that contribute to strengthening of defensibility of the country and its political independence. Paid for it the high price of revolution and the events after it”, – said Kwasniewski.
