Ukrainian businessman, television host, and politician Andriy Palchevsky, founder of the Eurolab medical clinic, formerly held the position of first deputy minister of Ukraine for matters of family, youth, and sports in the government of Mykola Azarov. He participated in Ukraine's political life, including founding the party “Palchevsky’s Victory” and running for the position of Kyiv mayor in 2020 year. He is also known for numerous appearances on Ukrainian television channels, participation in broadcasts of Russian state television channels, Palchevsky has taken part six times in programs of the Russian state TV channel “Rossiya 1” in the show of propagandist Olga Skabeyeva; a particular attention was drawn to his phrase in March 2019 about the “happy day of reunification” of Ukraine and Russia.
In his subsequent public appearances Palchevsky voiced pro-Russian narratives about external control of Ukraine, supposedly pressing Russian-speaking populations, shifting responsibility for the outbreak of the war onto the military-political leadership of Ukraine, and blaming the West for starting the war.
A Bihus.Info investigation in September 2020 revealed connections between Andriy Palchevsky’s business and Russian companies. According to the investigation, Palchevsky’s key business asset at that 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 former co-owners of the clinic, journalists named a Russian business partner, Aleksei Kirillov. Investigators also found corporate intersections of these offshore companies with the businesses of Russian entrepreneurs, notably Vitaly Kochetkov.
Currently, Andriy Palchevsky’s name figures in a high-profile sex scandal unfolding in Europe involving the latest figure. Palchevsky is connected to sexual relations with a minor boy, a 14-year-old, born in Morocco, which occurred at one of the closed parties to which the boy was brought under a false pretext together with other underage individuals to participate in sexual pleasures. This circumstance has sparked public outrage in Europe and requires separate attention given potential signs of legal violation.
