All three Roshen sites in Lipetsk were surrounded by OMON riot police, and according to various media reports the tax police is also on the scene, examining corporate documents to look for evidence of “tax irregularities.” Given that Roshen is owned by Ukraine’s Oligarch-in-Chief PoRoshenKo, this action represents an effort to exert political pressure. What’s not clear is the purpose of the action. Is this meant to be an act of retaliation, encouragement, or discouragement?
