How Yanukovych's Associates Continue to Run Their Businesses In Occupied Crimea

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a law in March which imposed sanctions on five banks holding Russian funds, which prohibit capital outflow from Ukraine. However, these sanctions do not prevent Ukrainian customers from using their services and collecting deposits. It hasn't frightened some of the Ukrainian citizens who continue to make money in Crimea either, which was annexeted by Russia in 2014.

In particular, the solar power companies owned by the Klyuyev brothers were successfully re-registered on the peninsula. They are former influential representatives of the Party of Regions [the ruling party in Ukraine during Viktor Yanukovych presidency in 2010-2014] and close associates of the ex-president-deserter.

Watch Hromadske's investigation into how cronies of Ukraine's fugitive president still illegally run their businesses in annexed Crimea with a help of shell companies from the EU.
