Political analyst: Svynarchuk may make a deal to mitigate sentence: he will testify against his ex-partner Poroshenko

Oleh Hladkovskyi (Svynarchuk), Petro Poroshenko's business partner and former Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, who was put on the wanted list by NABU, may testify against Poroshenko to reduce his prison term. Political expert Valentyn Hladkykh writes about this, UNN reports.

"Now, when Svynarchuk is caught, I think he will gladly tell how much money he has been transferring to Petro Oleksiyovych over the years from the 'schematosis' at Ukroboronprom, Lenkuznya and other enterprises, robbing the Armed Forces.  And I'm sure that Svynarchuk will testify against Poroshenko, because Petro was the first to turn him in. Secondly, Svynarchuk's sentence may be reduced for a deal with the investigation," Hladkykh said.

According to the political expert, Poroshenko's appointment of Svynarchuk-Hladkovsky as First Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council opened up almost unlimited opportunities for his "partners-in-crime" to embezzle funds from army procurement.

"The Svynarchuk case is one of the answers to the question of why Russia invaded in 2022. Because all this corrupt pseudo-patriotic scum led by the hetman, hiding behind pathetic rhetoric, only stole, shook hands and hugged Putin," Gladkykh summarizes.

As previously reported, the NABU has put former First Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleh Hladkovskyi on the wanted list, accused of abuses in the purchase of cars for the army. The amount of damage caused to the state is over UAH 17 million. 

In turn, Gladkovsky's (Svynarchuk's) business partner Petro Poroshenko is suspected of treason and facilitating the activities of a terrorist organization in the case of coal supplies from the occupied Donbas.
