President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky veiled his remarks at a Servant of the People corporate party, wishing MP Oleksandr Trukhin not to be a 'rat'. This is reported by Strana.ua.
2020 is the year of the rat, but Zelensky stressed that he hopes Trukhin will be a decent person.
Most likely, this is because Trukhin, as deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada's budget committee, allocated 270 million hryvnias in subventions to his constituency (No. 40, Kamenske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast).
Trukhin appeared in a video from TK Media showing the screen of the smartphone of another Verkhovna Rada MP from Servant of the People, Mykola Tishchenko, displaying a chat of majoritarian MPs from SN. That chat also concerned subventions.
