This was reported by Ukrainian newspaper Ukrainska Pravda with reference to a blog of Ukrainian MP from the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko Oleksiy Honcharenko.

Honcharenko also posted a video from a press briefing by Schaffhauser, where the Ukrainian MP was asking questions about the MEP's work for the Kremlin.

Schaffhauser together with other right-wing radicals from Europe attended "elections" in the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk last autumn as observers. Schaffhauser described the elections as 'fair' and 'legitimate.'
