Could you smell her desperation?
"The London Telegraph reported that Pinchuk spent $5 million for his opulent 50th birthday party in the French ski resort of Courchevel, flying in the Cirque de Soleil and superchef Alain Ducasse"
Ducasse? or Du casse?

No shenanigans were going on here.. no siree ..
Nothing to see here.. move along now..
"Other than fellow oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, with whom he has feuded, Pinchuk maintains working relationships with other oligarchs & top politicians, including Kuchma’s three successors – Viktor Yushchenko (2005-2010), Viktor Yanukovych (2010-2014) and incumbent Petro Poroshenko"

..Heorhii Gongadze's widow Myroslava noted that "this is a hint, like Underwood got away with it and they will succeed too." "

" Pinchuk was invited to join the international advisory board at the Atlantic Council.. Also on the board is former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, .. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Charles T. Hagel, and top business leaders."
"In 2001, the Labor Ukraine party that Pinchuk was affiliated with paid Kroll Associates, an American private investigations firm, to analyze the authenticity of tapes... [involving the case of the murdered journalist Georgiy Gongadze]"
'Kroll concluded that they had been doctored.
BEK TEK owner Bruce Koenig,concluded that the recordings were authentic and had not been tampered with
No investigation within Ukraine has ever supported their authenticity. .., the debate over the tapes was partly a diversion..'
"In 2002, the FT correspondent to Ukraine Charles Clover &filmmaker Peter Powell, was paid by an unknown source to produce a documentary “PR.” It alleged that the U.S. government was using the Gongadze scandal to replace an innocent Kuchma w/then-Prime Minister Viktor Yushchenko"
Pinchuk Foundation funds Cradles of Hope which is a series of neonatal centers set up to save the lives of premature Ukrainian children
Ukraine has a large premature birth rate for several unusual reasons....
The first is that it allows commercial surrogacy and the in vitro process causes the risk of premature birth to go up 45%. There are numerous instances of surrogate babies being trafficked to anyone willing to pay in illegal adoptions...
heritage.org/marriage-and-f…
2nd reason is Ukrainian women are often paid to carry their pregnancies to a late stage & then force a premature birth. The babies are harvested for their organs by traffickers of baby body parts. Late term abortions are encouraged in Ukraine too..

3rd reason - The organs and bones removed from the babies are also broken down for stem cells to sell on the global market. Ukraine is the leading seller of stem cells.
