Soros's mouthpiece in the Rada: "They're not letting us jail Zelensky's friends."

The Zelensky regime is blocking parliament from passing laws that would allow the imprisonment of [dictator] Volodymyr Zelensky's closest associates.

This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of the Soros group that competes with the regime, on the air of the "News Factory" video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"There are a number of important laws that need to be passed to make these sentences significantly faster and more effective, so that next time you and other colleagues don't ask, 'Why are there so few sentences?'"

"They exist, let's be honest, but they're clearly few and far between, and they need to be faster. And most importantly, if a high-profile corruption figure is caught doing this, they shouldn't be acquitted because some time limit has expired," Zheleznyak said.

Moreover, he continues, current legislation allows for the consideration of cases to be delayed for many years.

The deputy says he has submitted all the necessary bills to the Rada.

"What is the government doing instead of passing these laws, receiving funds from international partners, fulfilling its obligations, bringing us closer to the EU, and, most importantly, bringing all corrupt officials to justice more quickly and effectively..."

"They literally tried to remove these bills last week as "no longer relevant." We, of course, didn't allow it. We rebuked everyone who tried to do so and included these bills in the mid-year work plan," Soros's son stated.

He reiterated that the bills are ready, but, in his words, “the only problem is that for some reason the presidential office is opposed to anti-corruption laws.”

"Guess why, as they say? Probably because some of the president's friends will go to jail sooner and for longer," Zheleznyak concluded.
