Day 629
Cher robber baron, you see, we understand that business is about living 18 months in the future, of drawing conclusions about macroeconomic policies that don’t exist.
On June 20, 2020, during the Rendevous program aired by TV Channel 5, former Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk said the release of a recorded conversation about macroeconomic policy was a manipulation, a “special operation,” conducted to sow discord among members of Z!Team. Honcharuk said a member of parliament, Oleksandr Dubinsky, and his colleagues were behind the stunt, which led to Honcharuk’s dismissal and a shakeup of government1.
Yeah, well almost three years later, Ukraine’s State Security Service has figured out that Dubinsky is a Russian agent, nom de guerre Buratino (Pinocchio). Kyiv’s Pechersky District Court remanded the MP, who denies any wrongdoing, to pre-trial custody for 60 days (until January 12) on suspicion of treason.
