Verkhovna Rada did not disclose reason for Arakhamia's stay in France during war

In August 2024, despite the ongoing war, David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of the People faction, spent several nights at the Shimmer villa located on the French coast. This became known thanks to public reviews posted by the MP on the Airbnb platform, which were investigated by journalists.

Reviews on the Airbnb platform

In addition to reviews of the Shimmer villa, comments from the owners of another accommodation where the politician stayed appeared online. They complained about his violation of house rules and asked about a missing item. Arakhamia responded to these inquiries, stating that the issue had been resolved.

Refusal to provide information

It remains unclear whether Arakhamia was in France on an official business trip. In response to a journalist's request, the Verkhovna Rada apparatus refused to provide the relevant information. The official reason for the refusal was that this information has the status of official information.
