In fact, the lack of discernment among adult high-ranking officials, men, officers, heroes of Ukraine never ceases to amaze me. The newly appointed defense minister has already hugged MP Kovalov. As acting head of the SBU, Khmara could not have been unaware of Kovalov’s checkered biography, in particular that he transported Berkut officers from Maidan to the Russians so they could avoid responsibility. This was the Kyiv “Berkut,” the “Black Company” — a unit involved in the shootings of protesters. Many other unclear Russian-related stories are connected to Kovalov.
Moreover, while serving for half a year in the SBU’s highest post, Khmara was perfectly content that Kovalov remained a member of the Verkhovna Rada’s defense committee (!) and still had all security clearances to state secrets.
After reading Kovalov’s own post, I was even more surprised to learn that they “have known each other for more than one year.”
That’s the situation.
