Zelenskyy Inner Circle

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.

A group of citizens gathered today on Kyiv’s Maidan to voice their outrage over what they describe as escalating corruption and impunity in Ukraine. Protesters called for decisive action from the government, condemning officials who, in their words, “profit from the blood of our children during wartime.”

NABU and SAPO raided Timur Mindich’s Kyiv apartments, uncovering surveillance devices and links to corruption. Close presidential ties shielded Chernyshov, while embezzlement schemes and offshore funds continue.

Wiretaps from NABU and SAPO reveal Timur Mindich, aka “Carlson,” discussing the freezing of a massive Kozyn construction project funded with hundreds of thousands from an Energoatom kickback scheme. The recordings link former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov, nicknamed “Che Guevara,” to the luxury mansions, showing close ties between Mindich, Chernyshov, and the President’s Office.

The High Anti-Corruption Court continues to consider the motion to determine the preventive measure for former Energy Ministry adviser Halushchenko’s associate, Ihor “Rocket” Myroniuk.

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.
