DMYTRO FIRTASH OPPOSES RUSSIAN INVASION, ASKS TO BE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO UKRAINE NOW WITHOUT CHANGING STATUS QUO REGARDING U.S. LEGAL CHARGES AGAINST HIM, ACCORDING TO AN ATTORNEY ON U.S. LEGAL TEAM, LANNY J. DAVIS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Lanny J. Davis, U.S. counsel and legal advisor to Dmytro Firtash, issued this
statement on behalf of Ukrainian businessman, Dmytro Firtash, today:
Dmytro Firtash unequivocally opposes Russia's invasion of his homeland, Ukraine.
Mr. Firtash is taking every step he can to do whatever possible to protect
Ukrainian sovereignty, Ukraine's democratically elected government, and his
fellow Ukrainian citizens. Mr. Firtash is currently confined to Austria
exercising his right to contest an extradition request from the United States
government related to United States charges that he denies. Mr. Firtash is not
asking for any changes to the status of his Austrian extradition proceedings
other than to have Austrian authorities allow him the temporary ability to
return to Ukraine to do what he can in the defense of his country. He has told
Austrian authorities that he will return to Austria at the end of the Ukrainian
emergency or at the request of Austrian authorities. Mr. Firtash simply wishes
to return to his homeland to help in its time of crisis.
Mr. Firtash opposes Russia's unprovoked and uncalled for invasion. He believes
there is no reason the Russian people should want this war. Likewise, he
believes the Ukrainian people do not want this war. Ukraine is not a threat to
Russia. The world community should do everything possible to allow Ukraine and
the Ukrainian people to remain strong and independent.
DISSEMINATED BY DAVIS, GOLDBERG & GALPER PLLC, A REGISTERED FOREIGN AGENT, ON
BEHALF OF DMITRY FIRTASH. MORE INFORMATION IS ON FILE WITH THE DEPT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON DC.
