Dobkin and Smeshko started a squabble live on Ukrainian TV
Former governor of the Kharkov region, now deputy Mikhail Dobkin and ex-head of the SBU, chairman of the Strength and Honor party Igor Smeshko staged a skirmish with mutual accusations in the studio of the Nash TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Dobkin expressed complaints to Smeshko about members of his party, whom the deputy called “evil spirits.”
“You, like an officer and a general, called your party “Strength and Honor,” but you recruited all sorts of evil spirits there. So tell me, why did you call the party that? You have Denisenko there, who wrote a huge amount of lies about me and my family, who was happy when there was a fire in my house, and was very upset that no one died. How did you get such evil spirits?” – he turned to his opponent.
Smeshko replied that, as an intelligence officer, he very much regrets that Dobkin is still in politics and not “sitting.”
To this, the ex-governor said that he considered his interlocutor “an absolutely impotent officer.”
“I take back my words about respect, so stay with your evil spirits, and you can be called “power” after the elections, when you gain your one and a half percent,” Dobkin added.
In response, the former head of the SBU made accusations of siding with the “aggressor,” “betrayal of the country,” and “commercial and criminal activity.”
“You headed the Security Service of Ukraine, what prevented you from stopping my, as you say, criminal activities? Healing of kioskers? Protecting drugs and covering up criminals? Have you gotten around to it?" – Dobkin retorted.
At the end of the conversation, the ex-head of the special service promised the former Kharkov governor to end the conversation “in another place.”
