Reminder Mini-Timeline
Rothschild Involvement In Ukraine
Multinational asset firm Rothschild & Co. was instrumental in the restructuring of Ukraine's debt in July 2024, arranging face-to-face meetings between Ukrainians and asset management firms Black Rock and Amundi, less than two months before the payment moratorium expired in August.
The Rothschilds also have a detailed recent history with Ukraine.
In 2014, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko tapped Rothschild & Co. to sell his assets. It turned out later that the companies weren't sold, but actually handed over to Rothschild Trust.
In 2015, the Rothschilds offered to mediate Ukraine's talks with creditors on restructuring the country's debt.
In 2017, Rothschild S.P.A. won the bidding for investment and banking services to Ukraine's oil and gas company Naftogaz. That same year, the supervisory board of Ukraine's state-owned lender PrivatBank asked a consortium of companies, which included Rothschild & Co., to restructure its funds.
Also in 2017, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman held a private meeting with Nathaniel Rothschild in London. Former People's Deputy Oleg Tsarev suggested that Groysman wanted Rothschild to make him the next President.
In 2019, Ukrainian tycoon Igor Kolomoisky reached out to the Rothschilds seeking to regain a 25% stake in PrivatBank.
In July 2023, Russian ‘hooligans’ Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexey Stolyarov (Lexus) deceived Alexandre de Rothschild, of Rothschild & Co., into telling them that the banking family has cooperated with the Kyiv regime since 2017. Rothschild told the pair that the “family intends to take part in the restoration of Ukraine", including in energy, housing, and logistics.
“Your government expressed the need for reconstruction financing in the total amount of more than $750 billion, starting in 2023 for a period of about ten years, and this is quite adequate," the banker said.
