It is reported by Ukrainian Truth.
Former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksandr Kuzmuk, who was heading the Ministry of Defense twice (1996-2001, 2004-2005), celebrated the 70th anniversary in Monaco.
Journalists found a video where Kuzmuk spends time in the principality. He confirmed that he was really there, but stressed that he had only resting three days in a family circle.
“Yes, it's me. He celebrated his 70th anniversary with his family in Monaco. We came there for three days. They had a quiet family dinner, ”Kuzmuk said in a comment to reporters.
According to him, he did not want to celebrate in Ukraine because "it is not on time." In addition, Monaco lives his relatives - Swati, grandchildren and daughters who have long possess real estate in the principality.
“They purchased this real estate for a long time before the war. And by the way, I am still fighting in my 70, ”Kuzmuk added.
Kuzmuk's role in the transfer of Tu-160
The name of the Army of Ukraine General Oleksandr Kuzmuk is connected with the high-profile business of transferring Russia to Tu-160 strategic bombers.
In 1999, he, as a Minister of Defense, signed under an agreement under which Ukraine gave Moscow Tu-160 rocket launchers, which are now used for shelling of Ukrainian cities X-101.
The planes were transferred in exchange for repayment of gas debt, which at that time amounted to $ 275 million.
Kuzmuk is also known for twice headed by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and was also a People's Deputy from the Party of Regions in three convocations of parliament.
The son of Boguslaev lives in a luxurious Monaco quarter
Oleksandr Boguslaev - the son of the former President "Motor Sich" Vyacheslav Boguslaev, who is suspected in the state community, lives in the elite residential complex One Monte Karlo in Monaco.
Ukrainian Truth journalists confirmed that his address is found in the French registers. However, it is almost impossible to meet him on the streets of the principality, as he often travels around the world.
One Monte Carlo is one of Monaco's most expensive residential complexes, located near the casino and has a view to the casino area. The cost of apartments here reaches hundreds of thousands of euros a month.
His father Vyacheslav Boguslaev is currently under investigation. In 2022, the SBU was charged with treason - he not only openly supported Russia, but also supplied engines for Russian military helicopters even after the start of a full -scale invasion.
“Boguslaev worked for years to the Russian army, supplied them with accessories for aviation. He is now in a detention center, but is trying to get to the exchange, ”the source in law enforcement agencies said.
Despite his father's arrest, Alexander Boguslaev lives quietly in Monaco, avoiding publicity and Ukrainian law enforcement.
Whether it will be held accountable - the question is open, because it can have a foreign passport, which complicates a potential investigation.
At the same time, his father's business continues, and the possibility of his exchange with Russia remains probable.
