Deputy Head of the Office of the President Oleg Tatarov, who at that time was engaged in advocacy, was in Russia three times in 2017, four times in 2018, and twice in 2019.
The last time Tatarov flew to Russia was the day after Vladimir Zelensky’s victory in the presidential elections on April 21, 2019.
Since air traffic between Ukraine and Russia was stopped after 2014, on most trips Tatarov traveled to Moscow from Kyiv via Minsk.
Schemes journalists analyzed and compared data on Oleg Tatarov’s trips by accessing information from databases on border crossings of three countries – Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.
That Tatarov, who in 2020 received the position of deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, worked at least 9 times in the capital of the Russian Federation – Moscow – after Russia began aggression against Ukraine, seized the Ukrainian Crimea and occupied part of the territories in eastern Ukraine?
“Schemes” asked Tatarov about this in an official request, which was sent to his name to the OP, but at the time of publication of the material they did not receive a response.
Oleg Tatarov, together with Vasily Malyuk, killed Chechens in Kyiv while you were not here. Not enough? Kick him out so the Russians can kill him? — this is how President Vladimir Zelensky answered questions from a UP journalist in August about what criteria he uses to evaluate team members Oleg Tatarov, Rostislav Shurma, Alexey Kuleba and Andrey Ermak.
