Lyashko did not recognize the drug lord from Monte Carlo as a candidate for people's deputy from his party
Kiev, October 23 (PolitNavigator, Maxim Karpenko) – The leader of the Radical Party Oleg Lyashko says that he is fighting the oligarchs, but number 20 on his party’s list in the Rada is businessman Sergei Rybalko, who drives an expensive Ferrari sports car around Monte Carlo. Zhan Nosoveltsev, a representative of the Gromadyansky Rukh party of Ukraine, stated this during a televised debate at the First National.

According to him, Lyashko is engaged in populism when he announces the fight against the oligarchs.
“This person is 20th on his list. This man is involved in nine criminal cases, his name appears in cases of drug trafficking. And Oleg takes him to the Rada. How is it that you lead people by the nose, or have you not heard about it?” – Novoseltsev turned to Lyashko.
At the same time, Oleg Lyashko stated that he did not know who Sergei Rybalko was, but immediately added that there were no criminal cases against him. Allegedly, the main radical personally inquired from the Prosecutor General's Office about all candidates from his party.
“I see that you are well prepared for the broadcast. I don't know who this is. Today such technologies - they show videos about me, photos. These are dirty technologies when they make everything up, for example, when they lie about me on 1+1. I have five court decisions on my hands stating that everything that is said about me and the members of my team is not true. And they don’t give me the opportunity to refute,” Lyashko said.
Lyashko didn't recognize the Monte Carlo drug lord as his party's candidate for parliament.
