November 13, 2023Ukrainian Member of Parliament Alexander Dubinsky has dismissed the treason charges brought against him by the Security Service of Ukraine as fabricated.
“The materials of the investigation, as I mentioned in my public statements, are based on empty statements made by Derkach’s security guard Kotelnykov, who was convicted more than a year ago. He was coerced into testifying that he HEARD that a person with the call sign ‘Buratino’ is supposedly Dubinsky. Why weren’t these testimonies present in Derkach’s treason case, which was already sent to court? The answer is obvious. It’s a lie,” Dubinsky wrote.
He views this case as “Yermak-Zelensky’s revenge” for his testimony to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine about the involvement of several high-ranking officials, including Yermak and Zelensky, in Derkach’s activities. Dubinsky also sees it as an attempt to legitimize tapes involving Biden-Poroshenko.
