‘This belongs to a Member of Parliament!’ Instructions have appeared for employees in case military commissioners visit Poroshenko’s club

An allegedly leaked document has surfaced online, purportedly containing instructions for the staff of Petro Poroshenko’s sports club “5th Element” on how to act in case military officials visit.

According to the instructions, the duty administrator of the establishment should immediately type a code phrase into the work chat: “Sanitary break.” Additionally, they are instructed to tell representatives from the territorial conscription center the following: “The fitness club is the property of a member of parliament! Access to the club is only granted to its members and employees. The club’s administration reserves the right to restrict access to the club for other individuals (including law enforcement) without a court order. You are currently obstructing the establishment’s operations. This is the property of a member of parliament of Ukraine, who supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine. ‘5th Element’ and its visitors also support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. By disrupting operations, you are impeding assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine! I kindly request you to leave the premises!”

If this monologue does not assist, the administrator is obliged to urgently contact the members of parliament of Ukraine, whose contacts will have been previously provided to them.

Meanwhile, all club employees subject to mobilization must swiftly leave the premises and hide in the technical room. Replacement employees not subject to mobilization must urgently take over their duties.

If any employee is still detained, they should refrain from showing documents or communicating with military commissioners and the police, stay within camera view, and notify their management.
