Worded graffiti appeared this morning on the canvas that covers Kyiv's TSUM shopping mall that belongs to Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine's richest man.
As the majority shareholder of SCM Group, a conglomerate with assets in the restive region of Donbass that includes Donetsk Oblast where a pro-Russian separatist movement is underway, Rinat Akhmetov’s loyalty has come under question. He has given numerous statements calling for a peaceful outcome to the uprising in Donetsk through negotiations. Akhmetov has stated he is “for a united Ukraine” and for its territorial integrity.
Three separate questions directed at Akhmetov, question his national allegiance. One in particular asks whether he is “with Ukraine or with the Kremlin?”
