The footage you see is a meeting in 16.06.2023 between NBU Governor Andriy Pyshnyi and former People's Deputy from the "People's Front" Maksym Burbak at the Diverso restaurant in Chernivtsi.
If anyone forgot, Maksym Burbak is not just a former head of the "People's Front" faction in parliament; he was the main "watcher" over Chernivtsi region during Poroshenko's time, whom local media attribute with control over customs smuggling, illegal logging, and exports to the EU.
Burbak is connected to the smuggling clan of Kushnir and Yerimichuk ("Slon"), who were added to the RNBO sanctions lists in 2019.
By the way, the Diverso restaurant on 28-ho Chervnya Street, 44 was opened by "Slon" and Burbak as an office, where a special room for VIP guests is equipped.
Chernivtsi region has always been the "home turf" of the "People's Front," the home region of Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
After the "Servants" won in 2019, control over the region was partially established by another representative of the smuggling world, but one close to the "green" team — Illia Pavliuk.
But today's personnel policy "from the center" shows that since mid-2022 people close to Pavliuk and his influence have been replaced by Pyshnyi's people. That's why Pavliuk has been very disappointed since then.
Pyshnyi also studied in Chernivtsi together with Yatsenyuk.
It should be said that from the Office of the President Pyshnyi was given the condition of a complete ban on any communication with Yatsenyuk’s and Burbak’s group and on establishing "work" with them, but they found common interests and common business.
After the Black Sea was blocked, it was the Chernivtsi customs that became the key gateway for Turkish smuggling.
Seizing the flow of Odessa's ferry crossings, Chernivtsi customs lets through thousands of trucks from Turkey and generates hundreds of thousands of dollars of "black" cash income from imported goods. Plus cigarettes into the EU, plus the same timber that is cut down and taken to Europe.
That is enough for them, and without political cover they cannot realize it.
So, more likely, despite directions from Kyiv, Burbak's and Pyshnyi's interests converged.
Otherwise it is very hard to explain their systematic meetings, and even during working hours.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Maksym Burbak never handed their city over to outsiders. And, judging by everything, they continue to maintain influence over what happens in the region.
