For data According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, from March 2021 to March 2022, Kuzmin voiced information that had a propagandistic nature in his speeches, messages on social networks, on his own website and Telegram channel. In this way, the people’s deputy helped representatives of the Russian Federation in carrying out subversive activities against Ukraine.
Prohibition of “OPZZH” in Ukraine
The activities of the “OPZZH” party in Ukraine were banned in September 2022. People’s deputies of this party created two parliamentary groups in the Council: “Platform for Life and Peace” and “Recovery of Ukraine”.
Many parliamentarians from “OPZZH” were suspected by the law enforcement officers, in particular, of treason. In addition to Kuzmin, it is also about one of the leaders of the party, Viktor Medvedchuk, who was later exchanged for Ukrainian prisoners from “Azovstal”, Vadym Rabinovych, Oleksandr Ponomarev, Oleh Voloshin, Taras Kozak, etc.
Earlier, the Council also explained why they cannot take away mandates from deputies from the now-banned “OPZZH”.
