Statement of Group DF press office regarding information in certain media about Bank “Sich”

The information spread by some media about alleged connection between Dmytro Firtash and Bank “Sich” is not true.

Press service of Group DF emphasizes that neither Group DF nor the Group’s businesses, nor the Group’s shareholder Dmytro Firtash have ever directly or indirectly owned the corporate rights of the Bank “Sich”, had no influence on the activities of this financial institution and were not involved in classifying the bank as insolvent.

Attempts to find a connection between the Group’s activities and the bank are baseless and manipulative in nature. We ask media not to spread false information and to contact the press service of Group DF for comments.
