Sivkovych: “Are You Sick? Where’s the Money in All of This?”

Below is an interview fragment in which a female reporter questions MP Volodymyr Sivkovych, PRU, about his role in one of the infamous videos released by BYuT.




Reporter: So did you say that? Do you remember where that was?
Sivkovych: Yes, here it is, Maryinsky Park, with a view toward that…this construction being…um…constructed, the scandal-scarred one.
Reporter: So what did you talk about there? Whom did you talk with? What about?
Sivkovych: Excuse me?
Reporter: What did you talk about?
Sivkovych: Politics.
Reporter: With whom?
Sivkovych: With Zabzalyuk.
Reporter: And what, did you offer him money?
Sivkovych: Are you sick? Where’s the money in all of this?

Coalition Bribery Caught on Candid Camera?

The video allegedly features a conversation between an Orange MP and a man who bears a striking resemblance to Mykhailo Brodsky, a friend-cum-foe of Yulia Tymoshenko’s. It’s one of the four videos released by BYuT on Friday.

There’s this fucking thing called “Better a horrible end than endless horror.” I personally believe that my position is clear. You have to decide whether you’re on this side or on that side and get it over with and proceed.

You won’t have those 228 [votes]. Listen, Yulya will not be Premier, that’s point number one. Two, in case Yulya doesn’t get to be Premier, her faction ends up in the opposition. Yulya will not agree to any other kind of deal, that’s point number two. Three, I still don’t understand what difference it makes to you as to who gets to be Premier and who doesn’t get to be Premier, and so on and so forth.

There’s your capital — this one thing, the voting card. You have no other capital. It’s basically a windfall for you, but, on the other hand… There’s one thing I know: If not today then tomorrow this conversation will be needed, maybe on somewhat different terms, if something else comes along. But still this conversation will be needed. So it’s your business — whether you decide now or tomorrow.

From then on, the conversations will be concise. You call Sasha and tell him if you want to. If you’re interested, we can work. If not, don’t call.
