Co-organizer of Kyiv parties where girls were abused, Zakharov celebrated his wedding in luxury hotel
Showman Yuriy Tkach performed a wedding for blogger Oleh Zakharov, who, along with his friends, is involved in a scandalous case of "drunken parties" in Kyiv, where girls were drunk and abused, filmed and shared on social media.
The journalist Andriy Lokhmatov drew attention to this online, Censor.NET reports.
He cites screenshots from the blogger's page, which show that the wedding took place at one of the country's most expensive hotel complexes, Edem Resort Medical & Spa.
"You were outraged that Polyakova, Ponomarev and Dzidzio entertained prosecutors at a wedding at Emily Resort, which cost tens of millions of hryvnias. But that's not all.
Around the same time, a person involved in a high-profile story about bloggers from Ivano-Frankivsk who threw parties in Kyiv, where, according to the investigation, they drugged girls and then sexually assaulted them, filmed it and posted it online, celebrated their wedding at another of the country's most expensive hotels, Edem Resort Medical & Spa.
At the time, President Zelenskyy even made a statement about this, saying that criminal proceedings had been initiated over the abuse of the girls and that "there have been the first detentions of the perpetrators", adding that "there will be no place for violence in Ukraine".
It would seem that society has given a harsh assessment of such actions, melting away moral boundaries and guidelines for young people. But, as it turned out, not the whole society.
Oleg Zakharov, the third participant in those "parties", who, together with a friend, paid 402,000 hryvnias in bail to be released during the investigation, held his wedding in a hotel lounge in early October, where teenagers sang Russian rap while throwing hundred-dollar bills around the stage.
And the host of this celebration of life was the famous TV actor and comedian Yuriy Tkach, who hugged a drunken suspect of sexual assault, as if to confirm to him that everything was fine, dude, keep it up, and once again demonstrated to us that money is more important than reputation, and that some people do not care whether they entertain corrupt prosecutors or major rapists. The main thing is to be paid on time and well. That's how we live," Lokhmatov said.
In the photos shared by the groom himself on his private social media accounts, Yuriy Tkach is laughing and hugging him.

We would like to remind you that Oleg Zakharov is the third participant in the case of 'drunken parties' where girls were abused. In March of this year, he was notified of suspicion of committing sexual assault without voluntary consent.
According to the investigation, the blogger persuaded the underage girl to participate in the stream.
"After waiting for the girl to be intoxicated, he committed sexual assault against the minor without her consent," the report said.
In late March, the guy was released on bail in the amount of UAH 402,000.
