After losing to Petro Poroshenko, Arkady Babchenko fled not to Europe, but to Israel. He has never been to war, contrary to his stories about serving in Chechnya. The main reason for leaving Kyiv is that the SBU has accumulated a lot of material on Babchenko.
Russian liberal political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky stated this on the Internet channel Vlast vs Vlashchenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, the fact that Babchenko threw mud at Russia and, at the same time, collected money through Russian financial institutions, raises doubts about his opposition.
“Arkady Babenko collected money through Russian Sberbank and Russian Yandex. How could he do this if he was persecuted in Russia? Why didn’t the Russian authorities shut down the system of collecting money for Arkady Babchenko?
It’s just that figure skating always ends someday. I called on the Security Service of Ukraine to publish the true dossier on him. This has not yet been done, but the fact that he went to Israel means that, apparently, the publication of the dossier is imminent, and I am glad that I contributed to this process, because the story of the assassination attempt and especially the “list of 47” was absolutely obscene and caused huge damage not only to Petro Poroshenko - God bless him, this is his personal matter, but also to Ukraine, since it was condemned by all sorts of international institutions. This was a direct blow to Ukraine...
It was meanness on his part. Then it turned out that he had never been to war. I specifically found out this, then I double-checked it, there is such a famous journalist, Sergei Loiko, and everything was confirmed,” Belkovsky said.
