Addendum
The People's Deputy of Ukraine Yevhen Shevchenko was served with a notice of suspicion of high treason.
DIU representative Andriy Yusov statedthat MP Yevhen Shevchenko, who called on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to start a dialogue with Russia, is not an employee of the Main Intelligence Directorate.
On November 7, MP Shevchenko used his Telegram channel to call on the President of Ukraine to negotiate with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. In addition, Shevchenko called for the return of MPs suspected of treason to the session hall.
The head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, responded to the MP, noting that "some MPs seem to be confused about national security, national interests and the future of the country.
In 2022, Shevchenko presented a certificate from the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine as proof that he was indeed serving in the intelligence service.
