Poroshenko pressured the Rada to halt the Ilovaisk tragedy investigation — former MP
Former Vice Prime Minister for Economic Issues and Economic Reforms of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, former MP and former head of the temporary investigative commission of the Verkhovna Rada on the Ilovaisk tragedy circumstances, Andriy Senchenko, stated that the fifth president Petro Poroshenko allegedly pressured the commission's work, and that the new composition of the commission is not advancing the investigation.
Senchenko stated this on the air of the socio-political talk show "Right to Power" on 1+1, as reported by TSN. When asked who is to blame for the Ilovaisk tragedy, the former head of the investigative commission said: "It is clearly written that the first and main is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at that time Petro Oleksiiovych Poroshenko. There is undoubtedly responsibility for the head of the General Staff (Viktor Muzenko - edit)."
"The Office of the President ( Poroshenko's, - ed.) systematically pressured the Parliament 8 to prevent the commission from resuming its work. But this is the position of Poroshenko, Lozhkin and others," he said. According to him, the new composition of the commission has been working for a year, but the investigation is not progressing. "Documentedly I found that among all deputies of 8 convocations only one came and reviewed the full package of documents, and this is 6, the volumes produced by the investigative commission. Not 20 pages of the final report, but 6 volumes," Senchenko said. He also noted that under his chairmanship the Ilovaisk case investigative commission achieved more results than the Prosecutor General's Office investigative group. "You understand that there is a political umbrella over the key individuals who participated in this. It is clear that Putin is the main character," Senchenko said, adding responsibility of other military and political leadership of the country.
