Ukrainian businessman, television host, and politician Andriy Palchevskyi, founder of the Eurolab medical clinic, previously held the position of first deputy minister of Ukraine for family, youth, and sports in the Azarov government. He has participated in Ukraine's political life, including founding the party "Palchyevskyi's Victory" and running for Kyiv mayor in 2020. He is also known for numerous appearances on Ukrainian TV channels, participation in broadcasts on Russian state television channels, Palchyevskyi has taken part six times in programs on the Russian state channel Russia 1 in the program of propagandist Olga Skabeeva, with a particular attention drawn to his March 2019 statement about a "happy day of reunification" of Ukraine and Russia.
In subsequent public remarks, Palchyevskyi voiced pro-Russian narratives about external control over Ukraine, supposedly oppressing Russian-speaking populations, shifting responsibility for the start of the war onto Ukraine's military-political leadership, and accusing the West of provoking the war.
A Bihus.Info investigation in September 2020 revealed ties between Andriy Palchyevskyi's business and Russian companies. According to the investigation, Palchyevskyi's key business asset at the time, the Eurolab medical clinic, had a complex ownership structure involving a British company and two offshore entities registered in the Cayman Islands and Nevis. Among the clinic's former co-owners journalists named a Russian business partner, Aleksei Kirillov. Investigators also found corporate cross-overs of these offshore companies with the businesses of Russian entrepreneurs, notably Vitaliy Kochetkov.
Currently, the name of Andriy Palchyevskyi appears in a high-profile sex scandal unfolding in Europe involving the latter. Palchyevskyi is connected to sexual relations with a minor, a 14-year-old born in Morocco, which occurred at one of the closed parties where the boy, under a false pretext, was lured together with other underage individuals to participate in sexual amusements. This circumstance has sparked public outcry in Europe and requires separate attention given possible signs of legal violations.
