Ukrainian businessman Ihor Kolomoisky, who is in custody, said he feels sorry for former Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Mudra, who appears on NABU recordings related to the special operation "Forrest Gump." The video was published by TSN. Most likely, Kolomoisky made his statement during a court hearing on 26 August, when his pretrial detention was extended in the case concerning the organization of a contract killing.
"Well, yes. And no one will challenge that Mykitas to a duel. A lady has no defenders," Kolomoisky said. According to Mudra's lawyers, former MP Maksym Mykitas, whom investigators consider one of the scheme's organizers, "abused the trust and closeness" of Mudra. Allegedly, as someone close to her, he recorded conversations with Mudra.
Kolomoisky pointed to the deputy head of the OP's patrons and said that "some [Head of the OP Kyrylo] Budanov at least would have punched Mykitas in the face."
In response to an off-camera comment that perhaps there will still be a duel, the businessman reacted with sarcasm.
"He will challenge him to a duel... Our gentlemen. I tell you, even the mafia has degenerated in this system. Being a sucker is fate. But I feel sorry for Iryna Romanivna," Kolomoisky said.
