Corruption scandal in the Servant of the People… On the eve of the former member of the Servants of the People faction, Geo Leros announced the arrest of the NABU assistant to the SN People’s Deputy Alexander Yurchenko.

According to former MP Sergei Leshchenko, that aide discussed with an undercover NABU agent a $ 200,000 bribe to change the legislation on household waste.

The attorney general sees no reason… Today, Attorney General Irina Venediktova said that there is still no reason to announce Yurchenko’s suspicions. They say that it is impossible to report the commission of a crime without proving the fact of the use of an official position to obtain an illicit benefit or the fact of obtaining an illicit benefit. “The materials provided to me do not contain such information,” Venediktova added.

NABU replied Venediktova… In response, NABU asked the Attorney General to sign a suspicion of the current MP due to «participation in a criminal scheme ”.

The bureau did not specify his name, but it is probably Yurchenko himself. The detectives clarified that they seek from the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation to open criminal proceedings against the deputy as of September 10.

Yurchenko will temporarily leave SN… Meanwhile, Yurchenko’s colleague from the SN Alexander Kachura said that: “Deputy Yurchenko voluntarily writes a request to resign from the faction «Servant of the people “until the situation is resolved with the” bribery of an assistant. “

And Zelensky approved his alternate… The OP called Alexander Yurchenko’s decision to leave the SN faction “appropriate”. “Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not tolerate corruption in any form. Whatever the suspect, anti-corruption authorities can and should conduct a full investigation of all the circumstances of each case. The tools have been created for this, the activities of the anti-corruption infrastructure are 100% safe. There have never been and never will be exceptions to this rule for anyone in the state, ”the presidential office said.

More about the Zelensky boys:

SN candidates for Kiev. Today, the aforementioned Geo Leros unveiled the list of CH candidates in the local elections in Kiev.

A little more about the Kiev elections:

From blow to laughter… In the ranking of political forces in the elections to the Kiev City Council, the first place is occupied by the UDAR party: 23.6% of those who have decided and intend to go to the polls are willing to vote thus. This is indicated by the data from the survey of the social group Rating, carried out from September 4 to 9.

Second – CH (13.6%), the third – Eurosolidaridad (13.1%). Next – Voice (8.2%), HLE (7.4%) and Batkivshchyna (7.3%). Peremog Palchevsky’s party has a rating of 3.9%, Sharia’s party – 3.7%, Power and Honor – 3.4%. The rating of other political forces is less than 3%.

Now, about foreign and domestic policy:

Crimea will not receive water… The resumption of the water supply to Crimea, illegally annexed by the Russian Federation, is only possible after its complete vacating. This was stated by the National Chancellery in response to the Kremlin’s complaints to the UN and the Council of Europe about the critical situation on the peninsula, which arose from the lack of water.

«Under the pretext of “humanitarian needs”, the Russian occupation authorities in Crimea do not have enough water to accelerate the development of military facilities and enterprises of the military-industrial complex. It is also obvious that the need for water resources is increasing in the context of the colonization of the peninsula, a rapid population growth within the framework of a specific policy of replacing the demographic composition of Crimea, ”explained Ukrainian diplomats.

And President Vladimir Zelensky set during a visit to Austria there is no news between Ukraine and Russia «relations “after the annexation of Crimea and the beginning of the war in Donbass …

The minister is surprised… The head of the Ministry of Health, Maxim Stepanov, inspected the central market of Chernigov to verify compliance with quarantine restrictions.

«To be honest, I was unpleasantly surprised. Most of the vendors and visitors to the market do not wear masks or wear them on the chin. There are no thermoprotectors or disinfectants at the entrance. One has the impression that there is no epidemic in Chernigov, “wrote the minister to the FB. It concluded that the local authorities and the State Consumer Service were irresponsible in their control function.
