The ex-president of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma and a number of ex-deputies were noticed on vacation on the Cote d’Azur.
This is stated in the new investigation of the UP.
As journalist Mikhail Tkach found. Kuchma lives on the estate of his son-in-law Viktor Pinchuk.
Also on the Cote d’Azur, they noticed the ex-people’s deputy from the Batkivshchyna party Alexander Tabalov and the ex-deputy of the Kharkiv Regional Council Vladimir Skorobagach (who left the country as a volunteer for a charitable foundation), the ex-deputy head of the board of Naftogaz Alexander Katsuba and others.
Kuchma is 84 years old, but what are ex-people’s deputies of military age doing on the Cote d’Azur?
About a year ago, the Skorobagach family moved to Cap Ferrat. Then his daughter, also a Kharkov deputy, said that her father was leaving the country as a volunteer for a charitable foundation. Subsequently, Skorobogach surrendered his parliamentary powers.
The first and second parts of the investigation about the “Monaco Battalion” clearly demonstrated that even during the full-scale invasion of Russia, Ukrainian VIP refugees and vacationers en masse choose the Cote d’Azur, commented on the third film on this topic in the UP.
Recall that after scandals with foreign holidays at the beginning of the year, the National Security and Defense Council banned officials and deputies from leaving. Since then, members of the government, people’s deputies and a number of other officials, prosecutors, judges, representatives of local self-government have had the opportunity to cross the border solely for the purpose of a business trip.
In the spring of 2023, while searching for the assets of Russian elites, Ukrayinska Pravda twice worked on the French Riviera. Journalists could not help but pay attention to the Ukrainian people’s deputies and officials, who, despite the ban, still fly to this one of the most expensive corners of the world.
UPDATE. Kuchma’s representative Darka Olifer told the UP that the second president had only left Ukraine twice since February 2022 – both trips were due to the ex-president’s physical condition, and in the UP video he was accompanied by a doctor. According to her, Kuchma and his wife are in Kyiv.
