Brief retelling from RIA II
Ex-assistant of Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin said that accusations against NABU will cause a response from the bureau against Vladimir Zelensky.
According to Soskin, NABU will want to show Zelensky the price of pressure on the bureau and may take action against the president and his entourage.
MOSCOW, September 15 – RIA Novosti. Accusations against the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) will cause a response against Vladimir Zelensky, former assistant to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin said on his YouTube channel.
“Don’t be naive if you think that NABU will turn a blind eye to an attempt to create problems for him with the law. Tomorrow they will take on Zelensky and his cronies, starting with the office of this smart guy, and ending with deputies of the Rada,” he said.
According to the political scientist, NABU’s actions will be dictated by the desire to show Zelensky the price of such pressure.
“NABU thinks like this: if Zelensky did this, that is, he actually betrayed the Ukrainian people, then he needs to be dealt with, besieged, so as not to rock the boat, and those of his friends who are involved in this matter should be imprisoned,” Soskin added.
Earlier on Monday, Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko said that he had prepared charges against NABU director Semyon Krivonos of falsifying official documents and fictitious adoption, as well as someone close to the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, Alexander Klimenko - the charge relates to influencing a judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC), offering undue benefits, as well as assisting in evading mobilization. Kravchenko later announced that he had left Ukraine.
The office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine later denied bringing charges against Krivonos, and the corresponding marks were also excluded from the state register.
