Ihor Kolomoiskyi is one of the richest oligarchs in Ukraine. He has reportedly accumulated an estimated wealth of around $6 billion using questionable tactics in the fields of finance, oil,
mass media and metal industries, such as hostile takeovers of his competitors. He was appointed Dnipropetrovsk Regional Governor after last year's coup in Ukraine by then-acting
president Oleksandr Turchynov, who is currently the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council's secretary. Kolomoiskyi reportedly funds a number of Ukrainian volunteer battalions
that have committed human rights violations in the southeast of the country, where they have been fighting against independence supporters alongside Kiev forces. Ukrainian politician and
former Dnepropetrovsk businessman Oleg Tsarev commenting on the recent scuffle between oligarchs over Ukraine's oil transport company Ukrtransnafta said that the conflict may turn into
outright street warfare and a new Maidan.
