Ukraine’s MP Maryana Bezugla plans to file a complaint with the State Bureau of Investigations against Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky, accusing him of ‘obstructing the activities of a Ukrainian member of parliament,’ which constitutes an offense under Article 351 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code.

The offense carries a fine of 17,000-34,000 hryvnias or a probation sentence of up to 3 years.

‘Enough of the lies,’ wrote the lawmaker in her post on social media on Sunday. She also offered WhatsApp screenshots showing Ukraine’s military chiefs had allegedly blacklisted her, quietly demanding she be barred from visiting the front line positions.

In May, she slammed Ukraine’s General Yuriy Sodol, calling him a ‘criminal’ and accusing him of offering top positions in the army to his ‘loyal’ officers.

According to the lawmaker, both Syrsky and the former military chief Zaluzhnyi never tried to hold accountable the generals “responsible” for the campaign failures.

‘General Sokolov faces an investigation over Chongar but is still leading the troops at one of the front line directions. Lutsenko did nothing when the enemy breakthrough happened at Ochertyane and Pokorovsk, and he was never punished.’

Bezugla is bitter as ‘they (these failing generals) keep popping up again and again. Nothing has changed. The teams of generals keep ruining our future. And Syrsky is part of the process. He can’t go beyond this frame of mind. I see his attempts, but…’

It’s worth mentioning that Zelensky’s lawmakers earlier demanded Maryana Bezugla be expelled from the party caucus after she caught flak over her harsh criticism of then Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhnyi.
