"According to information from the debtor, total liabilities reached EUR 111.81 million," KSV1870 reported on Tuesday.

Deutsche Welle reported, referring to KSV1870, that the bankruptcy procedure was also launched for two subsidiaries of SLAV Group, and over 90% of the debts are owed to China's CNBM International. Deutsche Welle said that SLAV has assets of around EUR 80 million and they are mainly assets of Ukrpidshypnyk Industrial-Investment Corporation.
