Fedorov refuses to say who recommended Yakhniy to KRAIL

Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation has refused to disclose who specifically facilitated the appointment of Yevhen Yakhniy to the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries (KRAIL), shifting responsibility to the government.

Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov declined to answer questions about Yakhniy's possible patrons, as well as his awareness of the latter's dubious connections. As Telegraf notes, the Ministry of Digital Transformation's press service avoided commenting, recommending that the request be directed to the Cabinet of Ministers.

Meanwhile, media outlets point out that the detained Yakhniy had ties to payment systems X Pay Group and Diamond Pay, and was involved in microfinance services Turbogroshi and Qcredit.

The situation gives the impression that no one wants to take responsibility for the scandalous appointment, while those who actually lobbied for his candidacy prefer to remain in the shadows.
