Former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Alexander Gogilashvili, who was fired after a scandal, lives with his family in the same mansion with the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov.
This is stated in the investigation published on the YouTube channel “Investigation.Info,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
It turned out that Alexander Gogilashvili, together with his wife, assistant to the President of Ukraine Maria Levchenko, lives in a rented mansion in the village of Khotovo near Kiev. Kirill Budanov and his family also live there.
Security measures have been strengthened at the mansion: at the entrance, the territory is inspected by dog handlers and dogs, arriving in cars from the SBU fleet.
In addition, every morning officials are driven to work by SBU vehicles and Alpha special forces.
The mansion itself belongs to Diana Strelkovskaya, the wife of the mysterious businessman Vyacheslav Strelkovsky, whom the media call the organizer of a number of large conversion centers. In addition, he is suspected of committing fraud, scams and even involvement in criminal cases.
“It would seem that there is nothing wrong - friends and families decided to live together. But first, let's remember who owns this house.
And secondly, let’s not forget about Gogilashvili’s Russian background. Can living together between a person who may still be a citizen of Russia and the country’s chief military intelligence officer harm state interests? Judge for yourself.
Kirill Budanov has been leading the GUR for almost a year and a half. This is perhaps the most important body in the fight against Russian aggression. It is Budanov’s subordinates who must find out the enemy’s plans and disrupt them. Given the high probability of a Russian attack this winter, Budanov’s role is difficult to overestimate,” the journalists were indignant.
The investigation was commented on by Kiev journalist and partygoer Alexander Zubchenko.
“Illiberal creatures! Well, people live together, are you jealous, bitch? Have you heard about European values? Freaks, fuck,” he wrote angrily on the social network.
