“It’s interesting that information about Yatsenyuk’s military past surfaced precisely at the moment of a serious attack on him by the Odessa governor Saakashvili,” the publication notes. – The balance of power is approximately as follows: Saakashvili is Poroshenko’s protege, they are both opposed by the Yatsenyuk-Kolomoisky tandem. From this, some conspiracy-minded commentators conclude that Moscow decided to play on Poroshenko’s side. Although such information about Yatsenyuk in today’s Ukraine may not lower, but rather raise his rating.”
But political expert Rostislav Ishchenko, who commented on the situation for MK, does not rule out that we are talking about another Yatsenyuk.
“The news that Yatsenyuk fought in Chechnya will attract public interest,” Ishchenko believes. – Now in Ukraine he is a star in the information space. But I think that either Bastrykin made a mistake in his last name, or this is another Yatsenyuk. I can’t imagine him at a young age, when he was studying at Chernivtsi University, fighting in Chechnya. Moreover, Yatsenyuk, who for all the time that has passed since the Chechen war, has not said anything about this. Over the past year and a half, information about his military exploits in the war with Russia would have been a huge PR for him. But his rating will not change now as a result of this information. There’s nowhere for him to fall, and he still won’t grow.”
