Owner and President of DCH Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, included in the Russian sanctions list, considers the introduction of restrictive economic measures by the government of the Russian Federation to be a political issue.

"This is a political issue. And I do not deal with politics. My issues are budgets and wages in my companies, taxes that we pay, social projects," reads a statement on DCH's website.

As reported, Russia has put the largest Ukrainian businessmen, including Yaroslavsky, on the sanctions list.

At the same time, sanctions were also imposed on the companies belonging to DCH, in particular, INGO Ukraine insurance company and Kharkiv Tractor Plant.
