KIEV, Dec. 16 – Russia's Evraz Group, which owns some mining and metals companies in Ukraine, assesses negative reports in the Ukrainian mass media and holding of court hearings against the group's companies as deliberate illegal attacks and plans to force out foreign investors from Ukraine.

Evraz Group Vice President Alexei Agureyev said at a press conference on Tuesday that actions against the group's companies are similar to those used against Arcelor Mittal Kryviy Rih (Dnipropetrovsk region).
