So, a wanted Russian criminal was shot dead in Kiev on the same day a lawyer for a Russian corruption whistleblower fell out a window to his death under suspicious circumstances in Moscow.
Hm.
RT:
Former Russian lawmaker Denis Voronenkov has been shot and killed in central Kiev, Ukrainian police have said.
“There was an exchange of fire in front of the entrance to the Premier-Palace Hotel about 40 minutes ago. One man was killed and two other persons were injured. The identity of the killed man has been established. He is a Russian politician, a former State Duma member. Yes, I can confirm that he is Denis Voronenkov,” the head of Kiev police, Andrey Krishchenko, said, as cited by TASS.
Krishchenko said the assailant injured Voronenkov’s bodyguard, who fired at him in return.
“[The suspect] is under police protection, he is being given priority medical assistance at a hospital,” Krishchenko told reporters.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed that the suspect has died, TASS reported.
Police have established his identity, saying he was a Ukrainian national.
Ukraine’s security forces will take Voronenkov’s wife, Maria Maksakova, under protection along with Ilya Ponomaryov, another former Russian lawmaker living in Kiev, Prosecutor General Yury Lutsenko said.
Voronenkov, a former member of the Russian Communist Party, emigrated from Russia to Ukraine in October 2016. He received Ukrainian citizenship in December, having given up his status as a Russian citizen. He was highly critical of the Russian authorities.
Voronenkov had been on a federal wanted list in Russia since February 15, as well as on an international wanted list since February 27, charged with masterminding a large-scale fraud.
The fugitive lawmaker’s alleged corruption also featured in an investigation by Russian opposition figure Aleksey Navalny, who had reportedly discovered that Voronenkov had far more assets than his officially-declared yearly income of 2.4 million rubles (about $41,700).
The former lawmaker was shot twice in the head when he was on the corner of Taras Shevchenko Boulevard and Pushkinska Street, near the main entrance to Kiev’s Premier Palace Hotel.
Ukrainian law enforcers immediately said they believe Russia is behind Voronenkov’s killing.
“Considering the identity of the victim, as one of the priority versions we consider the actions of the Russian Federation aimed at eliminating this person as a person who gave important testimony in the processes that took place in Ukraine,” the deputy head of the National Police of Ukraine, Aleksandr Vakulenko, told the press, as cited by Interfax Ukraine.
Less than an hour after the killing, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called it “an act of Russian state-funded terrorism,” according to his press secretary. Poroshenko went on to link Voronenkov’s killing and the massive explosion at an ammunition depot in the Kharkov region of Ukraine that happened late on Wednesday night and continued into Thursday.
Yeah, that’s really convenient, no?
The killer dies in custody and it’s immediately stated by the Jew President, without any evidence, that Russia did it.
Then you’ve got a lawyer for a supposed whistleblower in Moscow apparently getting pushed out a window. Same day.
A Russian lawyer linked to a case exposing corruption in Moscow plummeted from his fourth-story apartment on Tuesday — as one of his top clients called it “extremely suspicious.”
Nikolai Gorokhov, 53, fell from his fourth-floor apartment on Tuesday as a crane was lifting a large bathtub into his home.
“They were lifting a Jacuzzi through the window,” according to Anastasia Berezina, 22, a neighbor who called an ambulance for Gorokhov. Berezina said that the equipment Gorokhov and other workers were using was “ramshackle,” The Associated Press reported. Russian media also described it as an accident, reporting that a rope snapped.
However, Gorokhov’s former employer, British businessman Bill Browder, suggested this may not have been an accident.
“It is extremely suspicious,” Browder told The AP by telephone from London, suggesting the fall could be related to Gorokhov’s work challenging President Vladimir Putin’s government. “Gorokhov is a serious problem for the Putin regime as he has spent the last seven years exposing their complicity in the death of Sergei Magnitsky.”
The family of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian whistleblower who died in jail in 2009, had hired Gorokhov. The attorney was due to represent Magnitsky’s mother Wednesday in a Moscow court and was acting as a witness in a U.S. money laundering case.
Browder said that Gorokhov was determined to fight the Moscow court’s refusal to investigate organized crime.
So both of these people were enemies of the Kremlin.
But neither of them was especially relevant enemies, in the larger scheme of things.
I’m not going to shill like “Russian officials would never take out an enemy.” That would be silly. Powerful people will kill their enemies if they are able, and I don’t even think there is any morality involved there. It’s just a fact of life and the way governments work.
What I will say is that it would make no snese at all to kill minor enemies right in the middle of this crisis with Trump and NATO and everything else.
With the Ukrainian case, it’s just blatant that it’s almost certainly a false flag, and with the apartment slip, it’s probably the same thing (unless it’s an accident and a coincidence both).
Let’s see if Congressman Schiff comes out and talks about this.
They’ve been talking about “muh Putin kills journalists” throughout this Trump thing, and yet they have no evidence and generally don’t even know the names of who they’re saying was killed. I remember back in 2015 George Stefanolopopouslous told Trump “Putin kills journalists” and Trump was like “well what are their names?” and George didn’t know.
So this can be used to reinforce their narrative.
At the very least, the Ukraine benefits bigly from the Voronenkov assassination.
