The money of the richest family in the world will come to Ukraine. For other potential investors, this will be a strong signal, said the senior economist of the Center for Economic Strategy, Yuri Gaidai. The French billionaire Xavier Niel, the Dolphin Arnoe, Vice President of Louis Vuitton and the daughter of Bernard Arno, who owns LVMH and whose family is the richest in the world, buys the Ukrainian company Datagroup-Volia.

Gaidai noted that Dolphin Arno is a close girlfriend of President's wife, France Emmanuel Macron Brjit, while LVMMH cooperates with macron charitable initiatives. While Brjid was a French teacher of several Arno family members in the elite Catholic Lyceum of Paris.

In addition, Bernard Arno was one of the first entrepreneurs to support Macron's candidacy for president, and he was recently awarded the highest state honors from France. Gaidai stressed that he was very pleased with the money of Arno's son -in -law's son -in -law to Ukraine, in particular in Telecom.

The economist noted that for other potential investors it will be a strong signal. Moreover, it also lies in a series of signals from Macron, which "challenges Germany's inert policies in the US fairway" and claims to support Ukraine's support in EU.
