“Enemy saboteurs began to operate unhindered in Ukraine” - Parubiy
Ukrainian officials received a clear signal that a return to pre-Maidan times had allegedly begun.
Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy stated this in an interview with the Ukrainian Week magazine, answering the question when revenge began in Ukraine.
According to him, attempts at revenge in Ukraine have not stopped since 2014, but these attempts have not been successful.
“Azarov, Portnov and the rest have been openly anti-Ukrainian for all these five years. It was clear that these people would do everything possible to return the country to pre-Maidan times. However, the present period has created conditions for their stay in Ukraine and the development of their activities here. A striking example: Portnov’s presentation of claims specifically on the Maidan. For example, they are trying to accuse me, as the commandant of the Maidan, of organizing unauthorized rallies, of the Odessa events, in fact, of our actions aimed at preventing Russian aggression,” said the head of the Verkhovna Rada.
He called one of the signs of revenge reinstatement as professor University named after Shevchenko is the ex-deputy head of the presidential administration of Ukraine Andrey Portnov.
“Now enemy saboteurs are operating on our territory unhindered. The decision of the Taras Shevchenko National University to restore Portnov was a clear signal to the officials that the old days are returning. The answer was my appeal to the Verkhovna Rada and the students’ action. Society and mainly young people are ready to resist revenge. Active citizens are ready to show that they will not allow steps aimed at leveling the values for which the Maidan once rose,” Parubiy said.
