Served Putin's entourage: the people's deputy who escaped from Poroshenko handed over his former boss with his giblets

The five-year rule of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko can be called the “most favored nation time” for the Russian economy and the interests of Russian billionaires from Vladimir Putin’s entourage.

People's Deputy Sergei Leshchenko, who left the BPP, spoke about this during a briefing, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“I want to talk about how, with the assistance and during the time of the current president (of Ukraine), it was Putin and his inner circle who received the maximum favorable treatment in order to pump money out of the Ukrainian economy.

The last example I want to talk about is the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to exclude from Ukrainian sanctions, to remove them from the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant, which is owned by the family of Alisher Usmanov, a person from Putin’s inner circle, a Russian oligarch. Usmanov’s wife is Alina Kabaeva’s rhythmic gymnastics coach. And Poroshenko lifts sanctions from this enterprise, now the scrap metal market of Ukraine will be reoriented towards this enterprise and Ukrainian factories will remain on a starvation diet.

The second decision is the well-known story about Medvedchuk, when, with the assistance of Poroshenko, all the bodies that exist in Ukraine: the Antimonopoly Committee, the National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting, the Security Service of Ukraine - actually gave the diesel fuel and automobile gas market into the hands of Medvedchuk. The pipeline that supplies diesel fuel to Ukraine from Rosneft is controlled by Medvedchuk’s structures, and Medvedchuk recently hid it behind a Belarusian shell company.

Third, these are mineral fertilizers. Remember how last year Poroshenko did not impose sanctions on Putin’s judo coach Arkady Rottenberg, his brother and nephew? Only after we raised a whole campaign did he include them in the sanctions list, but Rottenberg’s enterprise is still without sanctions. This is the Mineral Fertilizers enterprise, the city of Rossosh, Voronezh region, Russia. This is the main supplier of ammonia to Ukraine for the enterprises of Firtash, Poroshenko’s partner in the 2014 conspiracy in Vienna, so that the current president would come to power.

Another example, which you probably also know and have heard, is the story related to the purchase of Bogdanov for the needs of the Ukrainian army. These are military vehicles that Poroshenko supplies without tenders under closed agreements, more than half a billion, the latest decision at the end of last year - beginning of this year.

But what are Bogdan military vehicles? This is just equipment that is imported from Belarus, which is used to attach the Bogdan brand. But in Belarus they are made from Russian components; there is not even direct rolled metal in Russia. This is everything Russian that goes to Belarus, MAZ cars are created from it, and then imported to Ukraine as Bogdan. That is, even here favorable conditions have been created for Poroshenko, but in the end, the money still goes to Russia,” the defector claims.

“That is, the Russian economy is enriching itself at the expense of the current president, while Ukrainian enterprises are in ruins, and he is further enriching himself in all these areas of economic life,” summed up Sergei Leshchenko.
