Ukrainian President Zelensky deepens alliance with far right | WSWS - May 1, 2021 | As the former head of the neo-Nazi Right Sector in Odessa, Sternenko was directly implicated in the 2014 Trade Unions House massacre of 46 people. He is a convicted criminal and currently under investigation for murder. Andriy Bohdan, the former head of Zelensky's administration, confirmed the president's offer in a Facebook post in response to questions by a reporter with the online news site Strana. When asked if the rumors were true that Zelensky had offered the position to Sternenko, Bohdan replied, "I think he did it right when they were quickly forming a list of government deputies. An acute personnel shortage as they say." While Sternenko had previously claimed that he met personally with Zelensky and was offered the position in 2019, ties between the two had never been officially confirmed by anyone close to the president.

Mikhail Saakashvili bowed out as president of Georgia to move to the States in a position by Harvard. Sought by Poroshenko as Governor of Odessa which didn't last long. Got little or no support from Kyiv to fight corruption, so he resigned and fled the country before any bodily harm. His instant citizenship was taken away quicker than his induction. Odessa a hell's place of rightwing terrorists.
