Former speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Dmytro Razumkov said on the air of the TV channel "Nash" that he will participate in the next presidential elections in the country.

"I will go to all elections, I participated in all elections. I will not break this tradition," Razumkov said, as quoted by TASS.

Recall, the Verkhovna Rada sent Razumkov to resign in October.Deputies from the faction of the party "Servant of the People" said that he allegedly "ceased to be a member of the team" and no longer acted in the interests of the pro-presidential party.

Meanwhile, the media reported that Razumkov earns $3 million a year from pawnshops registered to aides.

This was reported in a story on ISLND TV by the well-known blogger Serhiy Ivanov. The story notes that despite the statements of the former speaker of the BP that he no longer has a pawnshop business, the network "Pro100Credit" brings him annually from 2.5 to 3 million dollars.

"The main thing here is to formulate the proposal correctly, because Razumkov and his wife no longer have a pawnshop business. But Yulia Ovdii and Dmytro Telezhinsky, the ex-speaker's aides and confidants, do have it. Razumkov transferred this business to them in May 2020, two months before the famous statement from the parliamentary rostrum," the journalist said.

The mass media also reported that Razumkov had also rewritten the Ukrainian Political Consulting Group and other firms to his aide Telezhynskyy.
