He left Ukraine allegedly to accompany his father to a foreign medical facility for treatment. However, his father went abroad and returned from there on his own. Dubinsky himself, while abroad, signed official documents, which may indicate their forgery. At the end of July, Dubinsky said that he received permission to leave to accompany his cancer-stricken father. Blogger Anton Shvets later reported that the MP was on vacation with a woman in Spain. Already on August 9, Dubinsky received suspicion, he called the case "political".

- On January 11, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions against seven people and four organizations for interfering in the US elections. Dubinsky was among them. Sanctions were introduced because of Derkachʼs so-called tapes about Joe Bidenʼs alleged interference in Ukraineʼs internal affairs.
