Yulia Tymoshenko's "Batkivshchyna" party includes a person suspected of murder. Andriy Babanko is even an active deputy of the Odesa Regional Council and combines party work with coordinating the work of the criminal group headed by him called "Samson", writes "Parliament".
And no matter how long they tried to hide these things, today the criminal trail of activities of OZ "Samsons" literally covers "Batkivshchyna".
So, Babenko heads the OZU, which calls itself either "Samson" or "Samson's Warriors". Most of this OZU includes former employees of the disbanded special unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "Berkut", as well as Babenko himself. Their cover is the security firm "Samson" of the same name and the public organization "People's Shield of Justice".
During his time at Berkut, Babenko was among those who beat and shot people on the Maidan during the Revolution of Dignity, and he has still not been punished for it.
In particular, the close connection and personal patronage of Yulia Tymoshenko saves.
At one time, Babenko was the bodyguard of Tymoshenko's son-in-law. And of those, the connection between them is only strengthened and strengthened by shared secrets.
Now Babenko has a number of other criminal problems. Not every first "samson" of his is accused of beating, kidnapping and raiding. Babenko himself is accused of murdering four people.
"On February 26, 2022, in the village of Kuchurgan, Rozdilnian district, within the Kuchurgan checkpoint, representatives of the Samson OZ headed by Andriy Babenko shot and brutally killed four unarmed people. According to this crime, on February 27, 2022, data on the opening of criminal proceedings No. 12022162390000096 were entered into the EDPR on the grounds of Article 2, Part 1, Clause 1. 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine," Ihor Mosiychuk said. But the case is "merged" due to influential connections in law enforcement agencies and courts, again, Yulia Tymoshenko.
With the beginning of the war, "Samson" was formed, as it were, as a TPO, which significantly expanded its opportunities for carrying out criminal activities, in particular, on political orders.
Yulia Tymoshenko warmly supports the "Samsons" and personally poses in a photo next to a person who kills others with impunity.
The leader of "Batkivshchyna" sees her need for "Samson" for two reasons. First of all, she is no stranger to the criminal world, and the "Scherbany case" is a vivid confirmation of that. And secondly, armed and mother-dependent thugs are ready to carry out any order. And this "advantage", according to Yuliya Volodymyrivna, she may need at the stage of the change of power in the country.
In a word, a leader for many Ukrainian women and a person who builds her entire political career under the slogans of social equality, actually continues to live in her own world of the "dirty 90s" and is guided in her work by the tools of those times.
The Security Service of Ukraine, for its part, has been following the Samsons especially closely since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. And sooner or later, the activities of this, not the last in Ukraine, OZU, which practices the execution of political orders for criminals, will be loudly blocked.
