Shame: Tymoshenko hides her son from the ATO in London
Verkhovna Rada deputy - former battalion commander Yuri Tymoshenko - one of the people's representatives who likes to parade around parliament in camouflage and accuse others of not wanting to go to the front, found himself at the center of a scandal: journalists found out that the politician's adult son avoids participating in the so-called. ATO prefers to be in London.

What adds special piquancy to the scandal is that the day before, Yuriy Tymoshenko, from the rostrum of the Rada, burst out with curses against the oligarchs who send ordinary rural boys to war, and not their children.
At the same time, both President Petro Poroshenko and the battalion commander’s namesake, Yulia Tymoshenko, suffered.
“I am against the fact that the children of refined people do not fight, but study abroad. I am against the fact that the President of Ukraine sent his son to the Verkhovna Rada as a deputy at a time when he sent thousands of other people’s children to die on the front line. I am for justice in the country. Yulia Vladimirovna, I respect you endlessly, but when you say here: “Stand at the front until the last,” in our Kulchitsky battalion dozens of girls fight heroically and have awards! Take your daughter to the front to fight, and I will be the first to bow to you! I am for everything to be fair - both the parents of millionaires and the parents of millionaires fight!” – Yuri Timoshenko shouted into the microphone.
However, journalists soon learned that the deputy battalion commander had an adult son who was not at war at all, but preferred to be in London.
“Your son is now in London,” the reporter said when he met Tymoshenko on the sidelines of the Verkhovna Rada.
The deputy battalion commander did not deny this, but referred to the fact that his son left more than 10 years ago, and therefore he does not see anything contradictory.
“My son didn't go to London yesterday. And I didn’t go a month ago. My son went to London in the last millennium,” Tymoshenko assured.
“Isn’t it refined?” – the journalist specified.
“How can he be refined - the son of a simple soldier?” – the deputy answered.
