Looks like a publicity stunt. Young, sexy female "journalist" climbs fence to get access to presidential estate? And, she just happens to be running for Parliament as well.

Those security guards could have stopped her immediately if they had wanted to, instead they let her roam around for an hour taking photos? Come on.

This place will be there years from now for others to use and enjoy. Ukraine is richer because of it. This happens in every country on earth. Get over it. Get over yourself.

The opposition should really make sure the poor public knows about this and really hammer it into their heads what a lavish life he leads at their expense

It should be enough to sway POR voters, how can they possibly vote for such a thing when the economy is so poor?
