I et eksklusivt interview, beskriver en fransk entreprenør, Thierry Laurent-Pellet der har boet i Ukraine i mange år, sit møde med ukraines sikkerhedstjeneste og Højre Sektor - og forklarer hvorfor han har lille tillid til Poroshenkos post-Maidan regime.

En virkelig shokerende, førstehandsberetning om den korruption og terror, som har overtaget Ukraine.

Thierry Laurent-Pellet kender Ukraine som "sin egen bukselomme." Den franske entreprenør tilbragte ni år i landet, hvor han på på første hånd erfarede den fremherskende korruption og politiske opportunisme, som stadig er fremherskende i Kiev. Takket været den "værdige revolution" har Thierry også erfaret et forhør hos den ukrainske sikkerhedstjeneste - og en en gennembankning af Højre Sektor, som efterlod ham med alvorlige sundhedsproblemer. Men først noget baggrund.

I et interveiw med Russia Insider, beskriver Thierry livet under lederskabet af Merkels yndlingsslyngel Yulia Tymoshenko ("Jeg besøgte et børnehjem i Odessa hvor børnene sov i papkasser"), så vel som det, der ledte op til Maidan hændelserne og Viktor Yanukovych' fald. Med Thierrys egne ord:


Kommentar: Beklager men de følgende lydfiler er alle på engelsk.



Da Thierry vendte tilbage til Dnipropetrovsk i februar, blev han tilbageholdt af fem bevæbnede mænd på mistanke om "terrorisme". Lyt til hans fortælling om det besynderlige forhør hos ukraines sikkerhedstjeneste, og hvordan han senere blev fulgt af machetebevæbnede Højre Sektor bøller da han rejste tilbage til Kiev. Desværre undslap Thierry ikke uskadt.


Som et resultat af angrebet, lider Thierry nu a en alvorlig rygskade. Tvunget til at flygte fra landet han holdte af, forventer han ikke at situationene i Ukraine vil forbedre sig — specielt nu da den Internationale Valutafond (IMF) kræver omfattende besparelser i et land hvor mange lever for mindre end 200 Euro om måneden. Her er hans forslag til lederen af IMF, Christine Lagarde:


Kunne økonomisk ustabilitet og politisk uro lede til endnu en Maidan? Thierry tænker det er muligt — og forventer at enhver fremtidig opstand i Ukraine vil blive "ekstrem voldelig."


Laurent-Pellet planlægger at vende tilbage til Ukraine i håbet om at sikre frigivelesen af Spartakus Golovachev, en sportsmand og politisk fange som i øjeblikket sultestrejker. Nedenfor er der en appel, som Thierry sendte til den ukrainske regering på hans vegne.

Mr Yaroslav YUDIN

Deputy Delegation Secretary, Chief Consultant - Secretariat of the Committee on Foreign Affairs Verkhovna RadaGospodin Yudin, I am French entrepreneur, I lived in Ukraine nine years and participate 2 times to IDCEE conference as speaker. I advised several French deputies at French Parliament including deputy Thierry Mariani (in charge of french citizen living abroad), former minister of transportation and colleague of Christine Lagarde chairman of IFM (Former minister of economy in President Sarkozy). I use to be an athlete as I was ten years member of the national speed skiing team and use to be ranked in the twenty faster skiers in the world reaching the speed of 234 km/h (I was interviewed on TV for an advertisement of Bukovel resort). I competed taking enormous risks but never been taking more risks than coming back to Kiev two weeks ago, getting arrested by SBY, putted into 6h custody, harassed in bus by praviy sektor members, getting assaulted in a Maidan restaurant and got seriously injured on spine (and this necessitate very serious injection treatment that left me in pain with no release). I am astonished to see the way Ukraine is turning today. You decided to turn it in the direction of European Union but did you really understand the values it represents?

When I came in Ukraine in Feb 2005 I immediately loved your country and decided to leave USA and France to establish my business, today dead because of Maidan event which destabilized completely my operations, leaving a decade of efforts on the ground. The events occurring along the year 2014-15, not only shocked me but turned out to infuriate me over the dozen of people that got killed because it could have been a sister, a daughter, a mother or a friend... I follow up very tightly what is happening in a country I was considering as mine. I am wondering why nobody is getting prosecuted over all those murders. But I am worrying a lot about the constitutional and legal right of citizens of Ukraine whoever they are, whatever they think, because in a democratic system people HAVE the right to think what they WANT. Your president Poroshenko was in Paris for the memorial of our journalists killed for their freedom of speech, did he realize what it meant at that moment, when in his own country citizens are persecuted for what they are or think?

I have been hearing about the desperate situation of Spartakus Golovachev, who use to represent your nation as diver. He opposed strongly the movement that led to the death of innocent Ukrainian citizens in Korsun, Odessa... Today he is jailed in the Kharkiv prison in the unit IR-100 dying of starvation, his human and constitutional right are not being respected. I feel terrible for this man and his family, I don't really know but feel close to. I am asking you kindly to consider welcoming me in your office to discuss this unacceptable situation and to find out a way out of this terror instigated in Ukraine that will scare any entrepreneurs or investors as I am and use to be. Looking forward to hear from you. Best regards, T.Laurent-Pellet
Thierry venter stadig på svar.
