“We literally discussed this issue because you are not the first to ask why we supported and voted for it. Probably because they didn’t fully do what needed to be done. They collected information on those they needed and those they didn’t, showed a considerable amount of work, passed it on to the prosecutor’s office. After that, they were not interested in what would happen next — the main thing was to pin some problem on a person, and proving otherwise becomes your personal problem. Plus, there was a recent scandal (referring to the mass searches in NABU on July 21, which the SBU and the Prosecutor General’s Office called a “special operation to neutralize Russian influence on NABU,” and the detention of one of the heads of the interregional departments of NABU detectives, Ruslan Magamedrasulov — Editor),” said Virastyuk.
He also could not explain how the adopted draft law is related to the disappearance of missing persons under martial law conditions.
“I can’t say in such detail because I am not a member of the committee on law enforcement activities — do you think I have a phenomenal memory to remember everything? Why was it like that in the first reading, and then it was changed in the committee? Once again, I say — I’m not part of that committee, so I don’t track everything that closely,” said Virastyuk.
