Ukraine's Minister of Finance Oleksandr Danyliuk after detecting errors in filling in the declaration has asked lawyers to check the companies of the group in which he worked during his stay in Britain. He said he will change his declaration based on the results of their work. .

"I want to apologize to the public – this information should have been properly declared by me on the first try," he wrote on his Facebook page.

Danyliuk said that, according to the information he received, he is still formally the director of three companies: two companies in Cyprus and one in the Cayman Islands.

"They were part of the group of companies, which I led as one of the directors, i.e. as a hired manager acting in the interests of investors," the minister added.

He said he had given instructions to withdraw him from these positions, and now his former partners together with the lawyers are completing the relevant procedures.

"I did not declare these companies at once because I believed that my partners had withdrawn me out of the management staff of these structures in 2010," Danyliuk said.
