A member of parliament from Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People party has been accused by the intelligence services, accused of breaking the ban on non-essential foreign travel to enjoy the Maldives.
s the Ukrainian parliament voted to punish Aristov on Thursday evening by stripping him of his parliamentary mandate, meaning he has now lost his seat over the issue.According to Ukraine’s intelligence agency, Aristov travelled to Europe for official government business, and at the end of his trip declared himself unwell. It is alleged medical records were then falsified to cover for his having flown his wife and children to the Indian Ocean to enjoy the luxury five-star resort.
The Security Services say when they raided the home of the suspected politician, they recovered passports with Republic of Maldives visa stamps. They also revealed they would be investigating who, if anyone, Aristov met while abroad, implying a suspicion of potential espionage. The fact a lawmaker would break the law to go on holiday while the country is under martial law is being treated as a major betrayal by some in Ukraine, which banned such travel
. That change in the law was itself triggered by a public prosecutor going on holiday to Spain, and blocked Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 from going abroad without permission from the government.it had caused “rage”. The President said, addressing politicians and civil servants: “You must work in Ukraine and for the interests of the Ukrainian people”.to discourage any other politicians from trying to sneak off on their summer holidays the government is considering special punishments.
