Fugitive Orthodox MP Artem Dmytruk, who was put on the international wanted list, has joined a new organization in Russia called the People's Unity Club, whose presidium includes fugitive Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.
This was reported by the Center for Investigative Journalism, whose correspondents note that the presidium of the club also includes Nazi Alexander Dugin and former Putin adviser Sergei Glazyev.
In addition to Artem Dmytruk , according to the publication, the organization includes: former deputy of the Mykolaiv City Council Maksym Nevinchanyi and analyst Oleksiy Samoilov, who are members of Medvedchuk's Russian organization "Other Ukraine," and former Medvedchuk channel regular Yuriy Dudkin, Volodymyr Skachko, a fugitive former editor of the Kyiv Telegraph newspaper owned by traitor Andriy Derkach, and Vasyl Prozorov, a former employee of the Security Service of Ukraine who fled to Russia.
Artem Dmytruk is a Member of Parliament of the IX convocation (since 2019), elected in constituency 133 (Odesa region). He is also an entrepreneur and professional athlete who ran the professional boxing federation of Odesa and the region. However, in November 2021, Artem Dmytruk was expelled from the Servant of the People faction.
In November 2023, Artem Dmytruk joined those who wanted to preserve the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine, and in July 2024 he became a subdeacon of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP).
Prior to that, in October 2023, Artem Dmytruk was accused of beating a man in the capital, and on August 25, 2024, he was charged with assaulting a police officer and a soldier. On August 24 of the same year, it became known that he had crossed the border with Moldova. Detectives found out that the deputy left Kyiv around one in the afternoon in the direction of Odesa. The car was driven by another person. Through the analysis of video from CCTV cameras on the Kyiv-Odesa highway, interrogation of the driver and development of a number of operational versions, it was established that the MP got out of the car on the highway near one of the settlements of Rozdilnyanskyi district of Odesa region. The Bureau served suspicion notices to three participants in the illegal transportation of persons across the state border under Part 2 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Two were served in absentia, one was detained, and the issue of choosing a measure of restraint is being decided.
