At the end of October this year, the Prosecutor General initiated the corresponding criminal proceedings. Criminal proceedings have been opened under Part 1 of Art. 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, from materials collected by the State Bureau of Investigation.
It was established that the people’s deputy, in accordance with the orders of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, traveled to Hungary twice: from April 12 to 14 and from July 3 to July 5, 2023.
At the same time, after the expiration of the business trip, he did not return to Ukraine on time, but continued to be abroad. In particular, the deputy visited Hungary, Turkey, the USA, Austria, Germany, Italy, and France on private affairs.
In criminal proceedings, information is verified about the fact that a people's deputy of Ukraine entered false information about the duration, purpose and countries of the trip into documents on business trips abroad.

The people's deputy's mother has Russian citizenship, and his father has a Russian tax number linked to his Ukrainian passport.
Vitaly Bort - since 2019, people's deputy of the 9th convocation, member of the Platform for Life and Peace party (formerly OPZZH, now banned), is a member of the Verkhovna Rada committee on budget issues. Before that, he was elected to parliament three times: he was a people's deputy of the 5th (2006-2007), 6th (2007-2012) and 7th (2012-2014) convocations of the Verkhovna Rada.
On April 14, 2014, the day after pro-Russian activists seized the city hall of Makeyevka, he was present at a meeting of the city council, which voted for holding a “referendum on the future fate of Donbass.” He supported its holding, but at the same time stated that the referendum “must necessarily be all-Ukrainian, otherwise it will be illegal and not a single state will recognize it.” Bort called “arbitrariness.”
