KIEV, Oct. 23 – Deputy head of Presidential Administration Dmitry Shymkiv has called on law enforcement and fiscal agencies to stop pressuring IT companies, describing such pressure as inadmissible in the current economic and political situation in the country, he wrote in an op-ed article in Ukrainska Pravda.

"Before the investment forum in Berlin where the government will present Ukraine's investment potential, checks and 'mask shows' of IT companies destroy the investment attractiveness and innovative sector of the state," he wrote.
