According to Sazonov, this is not the first time that Fedorov has failed to appear at a TCI meeting.

Former Defense Minister Mikhail Fyodorov, who has been summoned to testify before the parliamentary Temporary Investigative Committee several times, has departed for a “business” trip to Portugal, according to military officer Kirill Sazonov.

According to sources within the State Border Service of Ukraine, the basis for the travel permit was a November 3 decision regarding a business trip through BERN IT LLC. An interesting detail: Fedorov himself is a co-owner of this company and holds 25% of its authorized capital.

“It turns out to be a very convenient arrangement: the company arranges the business trip, and the former minister, instead of answering questions for the parliamentary commission, heads to Portugal,” Sazonov notes.

According to Sazonov, this is not the first time he has failed to appear at a TCI meeting. A foreign business trip was previously cited as the reason for Fedorov’s inability to attend the commission meeting.

“He’s been on a business trip to himself, and no explanations to parliament. There’s just one question: how many more foreign trips will the former defense minister need before he can answer questions from members of parliament?” Sazonov asks.
