Ukraine Corruption

Operation “Midas” exposed systemic corruption in Ukraine’s energy sector, highlighting weaknesses in governance, destabilizing the ruling coalition, and raising concerns over trust in the Presidential Office, NSDC, and anti-corruption bodies.

Why Andriy Yermak has become toxic for Ukraine and why his resignation is a matter of National Security of Ukraine.

Umerov and Yermak may have unofficially agreed to “Dmitriev’s peace plan” in order to save themselves from the NABU–SAPO investigations and distract the public from the “Midas” corruption scandal. The question is whether Zelenskyy knows.

Timur Mindich, long known in political and business circles, has come under scrutiny for his influence over Ukraine’s energy and defense sectors. Sources suggest he may be investigated by the FBI for potential money laundering involving offshore and British-registered companies, as well as individuals linked to him.

NABU and SAPO exposed an Energoatom official who demanded monthly kickbacks of 10-15% from contractors. She received about ₴1.67 million; total demands exceeded ₴6.6 million.

NABU, SAPO, and the SBU exposed former acting head of Ukraine’s Tax Service Yevhen Oleinykov and Poltava tax deputy Nataliia Novozhenina for aiding a criminal organization.
