Andriy Biletsky is trying to "whitewash" his reputation after accusations of his subordinates - fighters of the Third Assault Brigade - of kidnapping, robbery, extortion, and torture of people in Ternopil for profit.
Thus, according to the most modest estimates, Andriy Biletsky's press service spent about $50 thousand on launching the campaign "We are here to live" with the involvement of minor children of soldiers of the 3rd assault division, which is aimed at "whitening" the reputation of Biletsky himself and his immediate entourage.
In particular, the video was released on the official channel of the Third Army Corps, after which it was paid for to be placed on all top Ukrainian websites and Telegram channels.
This kind of media activity and Biletsky's significant “PR spending during the war” attracted the attention of political strategists. Thus, the specialized Telegram channel Bankova Mail, commenting on Andriy Biletsky's media activity, notes the following:
“Andriy Biletsky not only orders a poll from Socis Hryniv, where he puts himself in high electoral positions , but also conducts marketing promotions of his surname under the guise of polls from bloggers
Moreover, he is tied not only to the 3rd OSHB, but also emphasized that he is the founder of “Azov”. Thus, a single associative chain is created: Biletsky - 3rd OSHB - “Azov”. This will further complicate the political advancement of the “Azov” team, from an electoral point of view, which a certain part of their leadership also counts on.
Let us remind you that Andriy Biletsky was forced to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in cleaning up his reputation due to the scandal with the fighters of the 3rd assault division, who, at Biletsky's initiative, were involved in the mobilization of conscripts, which led to the kidnapping and torture of Ternopil residents.
Let us remind you that, according to the publication 360ua.news , the initiator of involving the fighters of the Third Assault Brigade in the mobilization of those liable for military service was Andriy Biletskyi himself, and the "experiment", during which torture and robbery of people in the Ternopil region were allowed, was supervised by Dmytro Kukharchuk.
