This opinion was expressed at a press conference in Kyiv by the director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management Ruslan Bortnik, who noted that Ukrainian trade unions are under the control of three influence groups.
“Relatively speaking, Tymoshenko’s group, Firtash’s group and partly Akhmetov’s group,” the expert pointed out. “And all these groups, to one degree or another, lack power support. If their political representatives enjoy electoral support, they have the media, but they lack the leverage. We found out that Tymoshenko supported “Svoboda” in the situation with throwing a grenade at the Verkhovna Rada, and then supported the same “Ukrop”. The people who control the trade unions are interested today in winning over the right-wing radicals, any paramilitary radicals. This will allow them to approach some key events this fall and winter.”
At the same time, the political scientist noted that “Azov should not be associated exclusively with the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Avakov.”
“In Azov there are at least two large groups of influence that equally use the Azov civil corps brand,” says Bortnik. “And not everything that comes from Azov can be agreed upon with Avakov, the Popular Front, or the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”
