Boyko saw the rampage of radicals in Ukraine and said that "the people are with us": the network did not remain silent
A former associate of traitor Viktor Medvedchuk, Yuriy Boyko, suddenly saw "radicals" in Ukraine who "abuse people." The "violence," in his opinion, is the demolition of monuments associated with Soviet ideology and the aggressor state of Russia and the decommunization of the names of settlements in Ukraine.
He also issued a speech about the "ban on the church" and the "right to speak one's native language." Anatoliy Shtefan, an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, drew attention to Boyko's speech, which again surprisingly resonated with Kremlin narratives.
Yuriy Boyko, a former Party of Regions member, former number one on the list of Medvedchuk's Opposition Platform - For Life, and now the head of the Platform for Life and Peace parliamentary group, created from the wreckage of this pro-Russian party, after a rather long lull, has once again begun to voice narratives that are in tune with the Kremlin's.
In a video he recorded and posted on Telegram by Shtefan, Boyko delivers a speech in the same style as before the full-scale invasion - with "radicals," "oppression of Russian speakers" and "an attack on the church."
"A few years ago, we witnessed the demolition of monuments to Columbus, the discoverer of America, in America itself. It seems that our radicals have taken the same course and started demolishing monuments across the country, renaming cities, forbidding people to speak their native language, and banning the church they want to attend in Ukraine. And today we see that these movements continue, violence against people continues," Boyko said.
According to Boyko, citizens oppressed by "radicals" who are very annoyed by the demolition of monuments associated with Russia, the decommunization of place names, the need to learn Ukrainian in Ukraine, as well as the state's desire to close such a powerful channel of influence on Ukrainians as the Moscow-subordinate church for the aggressor, are drawn to him and his like-minded people.
"That is why more and more people support us, those who oppose such violence, for unity in the country, for supporting people," the former regional leader said.
Shtefan reacted to Boyko's "reincarnation" in the public space quite sharply.
"The devils have become active again. The fright has passed and they have re-emerged in the information space with narratives we have known for a long time. Radicals, American influence, Western funding for the last 10 years, but the m*zine has not talked about Russian aggression for the last 10 years. Let me remind you that we pay too high a price for tolerating such f***ers. Maybe someone will finally put an end to these traits?" the officer was indignant.
However, the old-new song about "radicals" and "oppression" of the electorate of pro-Russian political forces in Ukraine has not only affected Shtefan.
In the comments to the same video, which Boyko's press service posted on his TikTok profile, Ukrainians did not hold back in expressing their opinions on what Medvedchuk's former ally had to say.
"Boyko, follow Yanukovych," "That's enough! We have heard enough of you", "And you have the conscience to address the people!?", "And the devils are already starting to raise their heads, why is he and many other such collaborators at large?", "Aren't you interested in how the Rashists are demolishing entire Ukrainian cities and villages? You're a Rashist bastard," "go to Moscow, they don't forbid anything there," "look, his voice has broken through," Ukrainians write.
Commentators also wonder why the SSU has not yet taken up Boyko, remind us of the responsibility of the OPFL and its functionaries for the fact that Ukraine is now repelling a full-scale Russian invasion, demand that the MP, who is supported by the state budget, speak Ukrainian, and argue whether the former regionalist should be given an assault rifle before being sent to the front line.In addition, many commentators suspect that Boyko's appearance in public space is a sign of upcoming elections.
As a reminder, it has recently become known that Boyko and his wife Vira keep their wealth in a Russian bank. They keep money and gold worth more than 7.6 million rubles in a Moscow financial institution.
According to the ex-regionalist's declaration, Vira Boyko has 3,347,721 rubles in her account at the NK Bank Joint Stock Company in Moscow. In the same bank, Boyko's wife keeps assets in the form of gold worth 4,297,620 rubles.
