Pogrebinsky: the arrest of the head of protocol of the Cabinet of Ministers will not undermine Groysman’s positions
The arrest of the head of the protocol service of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers by the SBU on charges of espionage for the Russian Federation will not in any way affect the domestic political positions of Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman.

This opinion was expressed in a commentary to PolitNavigator by Kiev political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky.
“The arrest of the prime minister’s translator on charges of collaboration with foreign intelligence services could affect the position of the prime minister himself in another country. It won't affect us. Of course, Yulia Tymoshenko and others will use this opportunity, but this will not shake Groysman’s position. I don't think this arrest will have far-reaching consequences. Moreover, we all know that the SBU often announces the exposure of spies, and then, when it is necessary to present evidence, there is none. Let’s see how it goes this time,” the expert answered evasively.
