Ukraine plans to spend at least UAH 9 billion from the 2026 state budget on roads in Ivano-Frankivsk region, including routes to private resorts like Bukovel, linked to MP Ihor Palytsia and his partners. Contracts with PBS LLC for repairs and new construction total UAH 2.46 billion, with another UAH 6.6 billion planned.

Top Ukrainian officials secretly united to remove Yermak, triggering a power shift. Budget approval tested multipolar governance, strengthening Svyrydenko, Arahamiya, and parliamentary influence.

Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak breaks down how Timur Mindich is transferring assets and restructuring his businesses. The report highlights Mindich’s network, including his wife’s branded clothing stores, the Izumrud diamond factory, Fire Point, and CIT SECURITY, showing how proxies and affiliated persons are used to bypass sanctions and avoid arrests.

Backlash Erupts as Ex-Pro-Russian Party Member Kuzmuk Returns to Armed Forces — Promptly Dismissed After Public Outrage.

For three years, Europe has paid Russia far more for oil and gas than it has provided in aid to Ukraine — effectively financing Putin’s war machine. Instead of strengthening Ukraine’s air defense and artillery, billions in European energy payments have fueled Russian missiles, drones, and aggression. As the war enters its twelfth year, the choice is urgent and unavoidable: […]

Denial, anger, bargaining, acceptance of Yermak’s resignation. This is how you can briefly describe an almost three-week marathon of events around the former head of the Presidential Office. A person who, in almost 6 years, seemed to have become so powerful that even the president did not dare to shift him.

In 2025, Russian forces made significant advances across Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv regions, exploiting gaps between Ukrainian positions and shortages of infantry.

In 2019, Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed to close his Russian business, but investigations by Slidstvo.Info reveal that Studio “Kvartal-95” associates may still control Russian film companies. After Zelenskyy’s divestment, the Cypriot company Green Family Ltd, which owns Russian Platinum Film, was taken over by Latvian handyman Ihors Zalivskis, unlikely a real beneficiary.

Centrenergo’s agreement with the little‑known Teplosfera UA exposed a systemic corruption risk in Ukraine’s energy sector. After receiving a 132‑million‑hryvnia advance, the intermediary delivered only a fraction of the contracted coal and provided no real guarantees, despite the contract requiring payment after delivery.

Timur Mindich, once a shadowy but influential figure, emerges at the center of a sweeping corruption scheme that spans government agencies, seized assets, and high-ranking officials. Ukrainska Pravda’s year-long investigation uncovers covert meetings, operational license plates, secret offices, and a network involving ARMA, Sensbank, and top ministers allegedly tied to Mindich’s financial curator, Oleksandr Zukerman.

NABU searches at Energy Minister Halushchenko’s property revealed something extraordinary: he and Hrynchuk spent the night in a mansion in Tsarske Selo, Kyiv, just before the investigation. This was no ordinary house — it belonged to fugitive Yanukovych-era minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko and has been under ARMA seizure since 2021, officially prohibiting use.

The NABU “Midas” operation revealed political corruption in Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence. Businessman Timur Mindich allegedly pressured officials to favor dubious companies, “Fortress of Defence” and Milicon, bypassing licensed Ukrainian manufacturers.
