WTF?!
The Boiko/Medvedchuk crime syndicate are the boll weevils of Ukraine. Firm preventive measures urgently needed.
Boiko showing all the traditional putinazi charm in this vid. Why are existential threats allowed to take money from the public purse in such a poor country? Why wasn’t the rat put in a cage?
Does anyone know who the victim was?
The victim was Oleh Lyashko, leader of the Radical party, he’s just another lapdog for the Oligarchs. He’s Akhmetovs puppet.
Man that is so confusing! Akhmetov is definitely a putler man; little or no better than Boyko. Yet Lyashko is (or was) the leader of a patriotic party that seeks the return of stolen lands by force. A good guy in other words. At least I thought so. Apparently he accused Boiko of being a kremlin agent, which he clearly is!
Baffling!
Nothing is simple in Ukraine.
In 2013, Oleh Lyashko described Rinat Akhmetov as the guarantor of Ukraine’s independence. In 2016, special investigation conducted by Radio Liberty (Ukraine) recorded the facts of secret meetings between Oleh Lyashko and Rinat Akhmetov. In February 2018, the former director of a Mariupol factory belonging to the Metinvest group, Yuriy Zinchenko headed the executive committee of the Radical Party of Oleh Lyashko. On May 9, 2018, the journalist of Ukrayinska Pravda Oleksiy Bratushchak published the blog “Lyashko becomes Akhmetov’s talisman”, in which Oleh Lyashko was directly accused in cooperation with Akhmetov. Lyashko makes frequent appearances during broadcasts of TV-channel “Ukraine”, which belongs to Akhmetov. As media expert Natalia Lihacheva, Chairman of “Detector Media” NGO stated: “According to our monitoring, there is almost no day when Lyashko does not appear there for any reason”.
Reading that Turchynov has joined as head of Poroshenko’s European Solidarity party, running the HQ. Nice to see these two back together again. They made a good team fighting off the swamp dwellers.
