The question was as follows: "I leased a car for personal use from PrivatBank. I still have two years of payments left until full repayment. The car is registered to the Avtoprivat group in Kyiv. PrivatBank has left the peninsula. What should I do?"
To which the President of Russia responded quite originally: "Drive calmly! If Mr. Kolomoisky and Finkelstein (director of the Crimean branch of PrivatBank) do not want to receive money from you (referring to the closure of Crimean branches) - that is their business."
In reality, the situation in the sphere of debt obligations and interstate settlements is not as simple as Mr. Putin presented it, because Privat did not leave Crimea but suspended its activities (and there is also a Russian subsidiary of PrivatBank). Moreover, Crimea is Russian territory de facto, not de jure.
Let us remind you that earlier we wrote that residents of Crimea may not rush to replace their licenses and state license plates.
