Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that businessman Rinat Akhmetov used to visit the presidential administration often.

“During the two years of my presidency, I met with Akhmetov maybe twice. I do know that Akhmetov visited presidential administration many times, and met with other people. I saw (businessman Ihor) Kolomoisky more often, especially when he was head of the regional state administration,” he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday responding to a question about nocturnal visits of businessmen to the presidential administration.

The head of state said that the last question, which he discussed with Kolomoisky, was the elimination of the tax debt of PrivatBank.
