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 government of Mykola Azarov. He has participated in Ukraine's political life, including founding the party “Palchevskyi’s Victory” and running for Kyiv mayor in 2020. He is also known for numerous appearances on Ukrainian television channels, participation in broadcasts on Russian state channels, Palchevskyi has taken part six times in programs on the Russian state TV channel “Russia 1” in a program by propagandist Olga Skabeyeva; particular attention was drawn to his remark in March 2019 about a “happy day of reunification” of Ukraine and Russia.
In subsequent public appearances Palchevskyi voiced pro-Russian narratives about external governance of Ukraine, allegedly oppression of Russian-speaking populations, shifting responsibility for the outbreak of the war onto the military-political leadership of Ukraine, and accusing the West of starting the war.
A Bihus.Info investigation in September 2020 revealed links between Andriy Palchevskyi’s business and Russian companies. According to the investigation, Palchevskyi’s key business asset at the time, the Eurolab medical clinic, had a complex ownership structure involving a British company and two offshore structures registered on the Cayman Islands and the Isle of Man. Among the clinic’s former co-owners journalists named Russian business partner Aleksei Kirillov. Investigators also found corporate crossovers between these offshore companies and the business of Russian entrepreneurs, notably Vitaly Kochetkov.
Currently, Palchevskyi’s name figures in a high-profile sex scandal that is heating up in Europe involving the latter. Palchevskyi is linked to sexual relations with a minor boy, 14-year-old born in Morocco, which occurred at one of the private parties, where the boy was brought to participate in sexual pleasures under a false pretext along with other underage individuals. This circumstance has provoked public resonance in Europe and warrants separate attention given possible signs of legal violations.
