Note to Poland due to the death of drivers at the border and arrest of Dubinskyi’s property: highlights for November 23

Note to Poland

Ukraine addressed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland with another official note due to the death of the second driver at the border with a demand to unblock the movement of trucks, said the Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland Vasyl Zvarych. He emphasized that the response signals were also communicated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Administration of Poland.

“Everyone has the right to protest and defend their position. But the form, time, and duration of the meeting chosen this time in difficult weather conditions creates a real threat to life and health, as well as the safety of people,” Zvarych emphasized.

Earlier, the vice president of the Association of International Road Carriers of Ukraine, Volodymyr Balin, announced the death of two Ukrainian drivers during the blockade of the border by Polish strikers.

Seizure of Dubinskyi's property

The Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv seized the property of MP Oleksandr Dubinskyi, as well as the property of his mother and ex-wife. The SBI notes that a total of 23 apartments in Kyiv, 8 plots of land, two residential buildings in Kyiv and the region, and 15 cars were seized.

We are talking about non-residential premises and apartments in Kyiv, land plots in the suburbs of Kyiv, and cars of the brands Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Cadillac, BMW, Maserati, etc.

Investigators found that during 2008–2023, the MP, his mother, and his ex-wife carried out “risky financial transactions” worth millions, including in cash. They significantly exceed officially received income, which may indicate money laundering.

The Servant of the People faction suspended Odarchenko’s membership

The MP Andrii Odarchenko's membership in the Servant of the People faction has been temporarily suspended for the duration of the NABU investigation. As the faction explained, this is a “standard procedure” used in such cases. The final decision regarding Odarchenko will be made based on the results of the investigation.

Law enforcement officers informed Andrii Odarchenko of suspicion of an attempt to bribe the head of the State Reconstruction Agency, Mustafa-Masi Nayyem.
