Gordon on Ekho Moskvy accuses Russia of killing Sheremet - and excuses Avakov
Belarusian journalist Pavel Sheremet was killed in Kyiv on orders from Minsk and Moscow.
Ukrainian propagandist Dmitry Gordon stated this in an interview with the liberal Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I cannot answer this question (who ordered Sheremet - ed.), Ukrainian law enforcement agencies will answer it, but the situation is not simple in the sense that there were people in Ukraine who carried out the orders of people located in other countries. It is possible that in Russia and Belarus. From what Arsen Avakov says, it will be interesting soon,” Gordon chattered.
According to him, the initial version of the Ukrainian investigation does not contradict the meaning of an audio recording recently published, made back in 2012, in which the head of the Belarusian KGB, Vadim Zaitsev, allegedly discusses the murders of oppositionists and Sheremet with two officers.
“According to the Ukrainian investigation, the people who carried out the murder of Pavel Sheremet remain so. The question is, on whose instructions did they do this? Not everything is clear with Pavel Sheremet’s connections, not everything is clear with his visits to Moscow and his meetings in Moscow.
Not everything is clear with the things he wanted to do in Kyiv. Which does not justify the killers and those who ordered the murder of Pavel Sheremet. Look for money everywhere. Was Pavel Sheremet a dangerous person? He did not deal with Lukashenko and Putin. Wrong figure. We have a number of famous Russian journalists working in Ukraine: Matvey Ganapolsky, Evgeny Kiselev.
With all due respect, they are not figures that the Russian, Belarusian or any other government was interested in killing,” Gordon said.
When reminded that Ganapolsky and Kiselev were on the Kremlin’s lists of “potential victims” that surfaced after the staged murder of fugitive Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko, Gordon said he did not believe in “Babachenko’s lists.”
“The same Babchenko is a talented journalist, but a pure swindler,” Gordon concluded.
