Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zhelezniak commented on support for Andriy Yermak by “Mag Veliiar” – a self-described satanist who, according to the article, staged provocations against the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

The deputy posted a video comment after Bohdan Orishchenko (“Mag Veliiar”) released a piece “exposing” Zhelezniak using Tarot cards. According to the MP, his video was a response to Orishchenko being added to the MindiGate database as one of the bloggers working for the Office of the President of Ukraine.

Zhelezniak also affirmed information suggesting that Yermak is indeed interested in occult practices:

“When Lachen wrote that during searches at Yermak’s they found various little icons, bracelets, ritual items – that’s not a joke. I know from many people that he has this thing,” the deputy said.

Commenting on Orishchenko’s video in defense of Yermak, Zhelezniak called him a “talking head for the President’s Office” and ridiculed his accusations against him.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Yulia Tymoshenko was supported in court by the “chief witch” of Ukraine.
