Ukrainian Court Sentences Yanukovich in Absentia to 15 Years in Prison on New Charges

In the same case, the court sentenced in absentia Konstantin Kobzar, the former deputy head of Ukraine’s state bodyguard department and head of the presidential security service, to 10 years of imprisonment

MOSCOW, April 28. /TASS/. A Kiev court has sentenced former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich in absentia to 15 years in prison on charges of incitement to defection and illegal border crossing, according to the Prosecutor-General’s office’s Telegram channel.

In the same case, the court also sentenced in absentia Konstantin Kobzar, the former deputy head of Ukraine’s state bodyguard department and head of the presidential security service, to 10 years of imprisonment. Additionally, 15 other employees of Yanukovich’s security service have been charged in absentia.

Following the February 2014 coup d’etat in Ukraine, Yanukovich, his guards, and nearly all government officials were compelled to urgently leave the country. Ukrainian investigators have characterized this departure as "desertion."

Yanukovich served as Ukraine’s president from 2010 until 2014. In 2019, a Kiev court sentenced him in absentia to 13 years in prison for state treason. Another case concerning state treason remains pending against him, related to his 2010 agreement with Russia to extend the deployment of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.

How interesting that a former President of Ukraine who was overthrown in a coup, organized and supported by the US and Victoria Nuland has now sentenced the overthrown President to prison.

It’s not enough that the guy was overthrown in a coup, now they want him in prison.

Yanukovich was and is the true president of Ukraine, before bathhouse Obama (with Victoria Nuland) had him deposed in 2014.

The ultimate goal of the globalist (lead by George Soros) was to usher in homosexual depravity to the Slavic countries. It was very close to succeeding in Ukraine, until Russia took matters to stop the contagion. The rest is history.

....”According to Russian customs documents detailing the trades, Gazprom sold more than 20 billion cubic metres of gas well below market prices to Firtash over the past four years – about four times more than the Russian government has publicly acknowledged. The price Firtash paid was so low, Reuters calculates, that companies he controlled made more than $3 billion on the arrangement.

Over the same time period, other documents show, bankers close to Putin granted Firtash credit lines of up to $11 billion. That credit helped Firtash, who backed pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovich’s successful 2010 bid to become Ukraine’s president, to buy a dominant position in the country’s chemical and fertiliser industry and expand his influence. ....

According to a U.S. indictment unsealed in April, he is suspected of a scheme to bribe Indian government officials to procure titanium. Two U.S. government officials said the American investigation into Firtash is continuing; they declined to give further details.”....—— Reuters

We came very close to having this happen in the US, if somehow Trump had lost the election and Kamala became POTUS, there is no doubt in my mind that Trump would have been sent to prison.

In fact, if a Democrat wins in 2028, I fully expect the democrats to go full speed to send Trump to prison.

You are right. They will come out of the gate running. Because not a one, That persecuted/prosecuted Donald Trump will be in prison. Because they were never arrested for their crimes. Again, you are correct. If they had 4 more years, Donald Trump would not have survived.

You are correct, and that is how we can honestly argue, that Ukraine is a leftist hell-hole that deserves no help for what they themselves helped to create.

Is this the coup arranged by the CIA? The one that brought that thug Zylynskyy to power — so he could money launder and continue to provide sex trafficking services?

This was the President that was removed from office illegally, without the proper number of votes needed for impeachment, that the vast majority in the annexed areas voted for.
