Pro-Russian deputy of four convocations with family business in occupied territories
Born on September 1, 1972, in Donetsk. MP of the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th convocations — initially from the Party of Regions, then from OPZZh, after its ban — a member of the "Platform for Life and Peace" group. Voted for the "dictatorial laws" on January 16, 2014. After 2014, several times entered occupied Crimea through Russia, violating the ban on exit outside Ukrainian checkpoints. His mother, Valentyna Bort, obtained Russian citizenship in 2019. As early as 2006, journalists of "Ukrainian Pravda" established Bort's involvement in the raider seizure of premises of the "Nadra Ukrayiny" concern. After entering parliament in 2019, a Brovary-based company associated with him began receiving billion-hryvnia tenders for road repairs.
Vacation in Miami during business trips and business in occupied temporarily occupied territories (TOT)
Investigation by "Schemes" (Radio Liberty, 2023–2026) revealed: since the start of full-scale invasion, Bort traveled abroad 8 times and spent 207 days there, mostly vacationing in Miami under the guise of business trips. The State Bureau of Investigation opened a criminal case for official forgery (Part 1, Article 366 of the Criminal Code) and added new data to it. The deputy's family is connected with two businesses in TOT: the Crimean "Road and Transport Construction Company" (where Bort's mother was deputy director for years, and the director was the husband of his wife's sister) executed contracts for the construction of transport interchanges for the occupation authorities amounting to approximately 3 billion rubles; the agricultural firm "Nyva" in the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia region was re-registered under Russian law and paid about 12 million UAH to the Russian budget for 2023–2025.
