“For a long time, the National Bank of Ukraine has been subjected to systematic political pressure. This makes it impossible for me to effectively fulfill ... the duties of managing the activities of the National Bank and interacting with other state bodies, ”Smoly said.

According to him, in this way he intends to “warn against further attempts to undermine the institutional foundations” of the NBU.

In January, Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the political party of the Ukrainian opposition party platform, For Life, said the ex-head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Valery Gontareva, had destroyed the country's banking system.
