Yushchenko and Dubovyi call on Yehor Burkin to return to Ukraine for reconstruction

A video appeal exists in which former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko and former People's Deputy Oleksandr Dubovyi call on Yehor Burkin, known by the nickname "Mexican", to return to the country. The footage is estimated to have been shot around 2023 or in early 2024.

Former deputy's appeal to the "Mexican"

Oleksandr Dubovyi, who was previously an ally of Oleksiy Turchynov and also collaborated with Yulia Tymoshenko, uses a friendly tone in his address. He states:

«Єгоре, друже, ти вже засидівся там, на березі моря. Трохи сачкуєш. Час повертатися розбудовувати Україну» (Yehor, my friend, you have overstayed your welcome there by the sea. You are slacking a bit. It is time to return and rebuild Ukraine).

Viktor Yushchenko's position

Following Dubovyi's remarks, the former deputy introduces Burkin to the third head of state. Viktor Yushchenko also insists on the return of the criminal case defendant, adding:

«Америка скучна, Україна цікава. Повертайся, бо буде погано» (America is boring, Ukraine is interesting. Come back, or it will be bad).

In addition, Yushchenko noted that if the call is ignored, "sanctions will be imposed".

Who is Yehor Burkin

Yehor Burkin, who also goes by the name Yehor Levchenko, is a key figure in the Khimprom case. He is described as the organiser of a transnational drug cartel. The network's activities are linked to the production and sale of synthetic drugs, as well as to the U420 chain of shops and fraudulent call centres.
