Oleg Voloshin. What is known about him
The former MP from the Opposition Platform for Life has got into scandals several times. In March 2020, he reported on Facebook that allegedly French MP Valerie Fort-Muntean proposed to involve the separatists “for better dynamics of the peace process at the negotiating table.” This statement turned out to be a fake, For-Muntyan was indignant and denied Voloshin’s words.
In July of the same year, Voloshin declared that Ukrainian sovereignty was “transferred entirely to external control.” Subsequently, unknown persons doused him with brilliant green near the building of the Verkhovna Rada.
Prior to the full-scale invasion, on January 20, 2022, the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Voloshin and three other Ukrainian citizens for “engaging in Russian government-controlled influence activities to destabilize Ukraine.”
Recall that Voloshin became the third deputy for the day, January 29, who (according to media reports) decided to resign his mandate.
On the eve of Natalia Korolevskaya and her husband Yuriy Solod, also elected to the Verkhovna Rada from the banned Opposition Platform for Life, wrote statements on the resignation of mandates.
Earlier media reported, that several people’s deputies from the former Opposition Platform for Life will be prematurely relieved of mandates due to the presence of Russian passports. In addition, at a meeting on January 13, the Verkhovna Rada prematurely terminated the powers of people’s deputies from the Opposition Platform for Life (OPPL) Viktor Medvedchuk, Andriy Derkach, Taras Kozak and Renat Kuzmin.
