Alexrpt — Kolomoysky calls for federalisation of Ukraine. Ukrnafta building in Kiev seized by Dnepr-1 battalion. US Ambassador Pyatt warns Kolomoysky

Oligarch tussle in Kiev.
Moreover, just recently US Ambassador to Ukraine Jeffrey Pyatt lectured Kolomoysky on the unacceptability of “jungle law” approaches to political problems (funny how that was not a problem during the Maidan, eh?), a warning which Kolomoysky clearly ignored.
Most interesting:
Kolomoysky called for recognizing DPR and LPR as the de-facto authorities in Eastern Ukraine, in an apparent bid to prevent a two-front war against both Kiev and Novorossia. At the same time, Kolomoysky called for “financial federalization” of Ukraine, under which 90% of tax revenue would never leave the regions.
Things hotting up in Kiev.
Are we heading for a final Oligarch showdown between Kolomoysky and Poroshenko?
