Arakhamiia co-authored Fedorov’s dismissal
"Arakhamia co-authored Fedorov’s dismissal. Let there be no doubt about that. He was not merely carrying out Zelenskyy’s will (He bears the greatest responsibility) but was a co-author of the decision. Do I need to explain what motives guided Davyd Heorhiiovych?" the head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center wrote.
