KIEV, Nov.15 – Owners of bankrupt banks who do not want to return debts benefit from the campaign against the National Bank of Ukraine organized by Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko, while it harms Ukrainians, NBU Governor Valeriya Gontareva said.

"Tymoshenko who gathers depositors of bankrupt banks for rallies frankly deceives Ukrainians… Several lawmakers have joined Yulia Tymoshenko and they are trying to destabilize the economic situation to make the most of it in politics. Owners of bankrupt banks also benefit from populist slogans," she said in a statement posted on the NBU's website.
