Melnichuk and Kaskiv trade via SMS at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada

MelnychukOn April 23, Apostrophe photojournalist Vladislav Sodel captured a photo of former Aidar Battalion commander and MP Serhiy Melnychuk demanding money from former head of the State Agency for National Projects Vladislav Kaskiv via text message.

 

The necessary quorum to open the Verkhovna Rada session was not reached. Serhiy Melnychuk, a former associate of Oleh Lyashko and now a member of parliament from Igor Yeremeyev's "People's Will" group, stated that he had already found the necessary number of votes, but in exchange, he asked Kaskiv to assist him in receiving a reward for his "efforts."

Transcript of correspondence between deputies:

«Melnichuk: I'm happy.

Kaskiv: Cool, so what's there?

Melnychuk: They're whispering. I think there aren't enough votes. As for the office…

Kaskiv: Now I will give the command to find it.

Melnichuk: I found it. Let them pay. And the documents for the freak.»

 

Vladislav Kaskiv is known to be close to former head of the Yanukovych Administration, MP Serhiy Lyovochkin. Media reports indicate that Mr. Kaskiv used the services of Aidar fighters to expropriate the business of Oleksandr Nogachevsky, director of Aqua Invest Group.

 

As a reminder, former battalion commander Melnychuk was elected to the 8th Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the Radical Party list. In early February 2015, Melnychuk was expelled from Lyashko's party. He then joined Ihor Yeremeyev's "People's Will" group.
