Berlin Refused to Communicate with Goncharenko in the Rada on Principle – Video
A meeting of the Verkhovna Rada’s Temporary Investigative Commission, which addresses issues of defense, anti-corruption policy, and human rights compliance during martial law, took place in Kyiv. One of the speakers, volunteer Maria Berlinska, got into an argument with the commission’s chair, MP Oleksiy Goncharenko, over his political past.
This was reported by a UA.News correspondent.
Berlinska stated that she would communicate with all members of the commission except Goncharenko, since he had previously supported the “Russian World” in Odesa and had not apologized to her for falsely accusing her of having ties to Mindich.
“The commission chair was a man who called Odesa the center of Novorossiya; he brought the ‘Russian World’ here; he left the Party of Regions only after people were already being killed here, when we were carrying the wounded out on sheets—he was still in the Party of Regions then. Therefore, I am ready to answer every member of the commission, except for Russian agents,” she stated.
Goncharenko responded by noting that Berlinska should address him as a representative of the Verkhovna Rada; anything else would be disrespectful to that body.
Meanwhile, aviation engineer and drone specialist Yuriy Kasyanov, while testifying at a meeting of the temporary investigative commission, called FirePoint’s claim that it produces 7,000 ballistic missiles per year a technical absurdity.
