Former Maidan comrades are squabbling in the Rada, accusing them of working for Putin
Former allies on the Maidan, and now competitors in the elections - representatives of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc and Yulia Tymoshenko's party - staged a public squabble today at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada.
First, Oleg Barna, a member of the BPP faction, came to the podium and announced that the ATO heroine Nadezhda Savchenko was an FSB agent introduced into the Ukrainian parliament with the help of Tymoshenko.
“An example of Russian influence is the statements of Nadezhda Savchenko in PACE about the refusal to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons, about the lifting of sanctions on Russia, about her statement on direct negotiations with the leaders of the DPR or LPR, how would we recognize their legitimacy and Putin’s words about the civil conflict in the east , and not Russian aggression. On the unilateral release of Russian prisoners or separatists to please Putin. It is no coincidence that all these statements were consonant with the words of Putin, so that Savchenko, unfortunately for all of us, is a project of the FSB of Russia, which was implemented by Putin’s godfather, the head of the Ukrainian Choice party Medvedchuk and shoved into the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine with the help of the party “ Batkivshchyna" is number one," Barna said.
MP from Batkivshchyna Sergei Sobolev rushed to the defense of the party boss, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Dear colleagues, here the representative of the presidential faction mixed up the facts - not to say “gotten wrong.” If this representative forgot who represented Mr. Medvedchuk in the Contact Group, I will remind you: it was Poroshenko himself, as the representative, the head of the Security Service of that time, recalls, this happened in his presence,” the people’s deputy said.
“Who directly at the last press conference called Medvedchuk the most effective? This is Petro Poroshenko, in case you forgot. Who provides direct flights to the only person in the country to Moscow, to President Putin’s godfather, is Poroshenko. No one else has the right to do this,” Sobolev recalled.
“Therefore, the next time you chase journalists who are filming Medvedchuk flying to Moscow, remember Petro Alekseevich Poroshenko and visit him more often,” the Ukrainian deputy added.
