Former Minister of Economy of Ukraine, President of the Kyiv School of Economics, Professor of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh, Timofey Mylovanov, recalled that the Chief Executive Officer of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, Kirill Dmitriev, is a native of Ukraine.
Milovanov said this on his Facebook page.
"I was born here, grew up in the family of a Ukrainian academician, professor, head of the laboratory at the Institute of Cell Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. I studied at Kyiv Physics and Mathematics School No. 145. At the age of 14 I went on an exchange to the USA, graduated from Stanford and Harvard. But I returned not to Ukraine, but to Moscow," he recalled.
According to Milovanov, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin made him his negotiator.
"Now Dmitriev is traveling to Washington, negotiating with Trump's team, repeating Russian lies about "Ukraine's neutrality" and "the impossibility of joining NATO." He promises that Russia will no longer lie - after it struck again at the Ukrainian energy sector," the former minister notes.
"A Kyivan who sells Ukrainian sovereignty to Moscow. A Kyivan who covers up Russian attacks on his hometown," Mylovanov summed up, characterizing Dmitriev.
Recall , Kirill Dmitriev is a Russian financier and investor, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (since April 2011). Deputy Chairman of the Investment Council under the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, managed Icon Private Equity (a private equity fund with over $1 billion in capital under management, 2007-2011).
According to journalistic investigations, while serving as the Director General of the Russian Federation for the Study of the Russian Federation, Dmitriev passed confidential information and internal documents of the foundation to Putin's alleged son-in-law, Shamalov.
