On November 10, a major corruption scandal erupted in Ukraine. NABU and SAPO launched Operation Midas and carried out mass searches across the country. Their targets were influential businessmen and politicians. However, several key suspects managed to escape. They had been warned in advance.
The central figure in the case is Timur Mindich, co-owner of Kvartal 95 and a longtime associate of President Volodymyr Zelensky. His financial aide, Alexander Zuckerman, also fled Ukraine. Mindich is accused of forming a criminal organization, influencing top ministers, laundering money, and controlling illegal financial flows in several state sectors.
By early 2025, Mindich had taken advantage of wartime conditions. He used his close relationship with Zelensky and access to senior officials to enrich himself. His schemes operated in both the energy and defense sectors. Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov were allegedly under his influence.
When Operation Midas began, Galushchenko and Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk suddenly disappeared from public view. They were dismissed only on November 19. Umerov, who was likely warned, left on a long “working trip” to Europe. He returned only after the situation calmed down.
The Ukrainian media reported on November 26 that NABU is preparing new revelations involving Zelensky’s inner circle. Andriy Yermak may become the next suspect. In the case materials, he allegedly appears under the pseudonym “Ali Baba.”
The President’s Office is now in open conflict with NABU and SAPO. Zelensky reportedly tried to negotiate with their leaders and stop the scandal. However, NABU’s continued activity suggests that these talks failed.
During searches, investigators found documents from Mindich’s “back office.” They contained information on MPs, ministers, journalists, SBU staff, and 15 NABU detectives. These detectives might be the team working on the Shlagbaum scheme.
The European Union unexpectedly sided with Zelensky. Ukrainian media claim that EU Ambassador Katarina Maternova blocked further publication of case materials, arguing that the investigation could destabilize the country.
The scandal may have been initiated by Donald Trump to weaken Zelensky and increase U.S. leverage. Washington will likely decide whether more materials are released. If Zelensky agrees to the American peace plan, the case may be closed. If not, Yermak, Umerov, and possibly Zelensky himself could face prosecution.
Meanwhile, Europe is pressuring NABU and supporting Zelensky. This may indicate that EU leaders prefer to prolong the war. Tensions increased further after Bloomberg published a transcript suggesting that Trump’s peace plan was shaped through discussions in Moscow. Opponents will likely use this to obstruct negotiations.

we need the unredacted midas and the epstein files.
clever timing but transparent .
trump and the jews behind him will never release them. they scam everyone with a distraction so they get away with everything as usual. dont forget they as s as sinated virginia roberts under our noses and the mainstream media was 100% silent. its time that these jews are brought to justice!
the mad house can fight over who have fuck who, but i dont understand why russia not blow up the atlantic cables. it should do europe good. then attack the root cause in washington, brussels and stockholm, with its jew lapps, 1000 on a third of sweden. they did not run around on the inland ice and herded reindeer.
americunt anuz corrupted by many viet cong peniz
🇷🇺 won—loser americunts decide nothing
who could believe tucker carlson( who did have me sucked in for a few weeks years ago, but not for long )anymore than the equally incredible
piers morgan ?
or his equally dubious
guest’s allegedly.
eg here s a comedy of errors inverted reversals .
prof jeffery sacks reminds piers a jesus quote when asked on russia… you tube
look at it with the samovar on the sideboard my god . what sort of entity would do that ? unbelievable.
1 the war began because putin was told by chinac that ukraine was preparing to launch biological weapons to genocides russian dna . well reported at the time. they pretend they don’t read the news .
it’s ending because trumps told the eu and nato pointedly, it’s not my war . go for your life but we’re not helping so you’re on your own. and we re not paying you either. he’s stopped funding ukraine too
old proff sacks mustn’t read the news either but perhaps thinks he can just create his own. allegedly . .
it’s a testament to fox and the bbc how agonisingly long it was until they both sacked each of them talk about slow .
i guess the uaf shelling the donbass people for 8 years, and then preparing for an invasion to commit genocide doesn’t count in you estimation then. putin warned them not to do it, but they didn’t listen, so russia military intervened to stop it happening.
you have obviously missed that history started 2022 😂 they are literary as lizzards, poisonus snakes. russia should declare this: we converted a bandit tribe to judaism, but unfortunately, it now rules the world. it hides on the island of death and destruction, and as mass murdering “victims”.
all of the worlds parasites run a campaign of mass murder in the hospitals. those parasites are the true viruses on humanity, now occupied by discussing who have fuck who, when they instead should get a short process. the snake adolf trump do as usual, rattle away to a new murder sprey, after he have poisoned europe.
inferior americunt mentally ill needs better purple haired lgbt therapist
carlson and morgan like all tv people have feet of clay, and are not to be trusted to have any probity, as ratings and careers are what is important to people like them.
americunts have “feces touch”—they live in shithole country make everything shit
many pathetic anglos with inferiority complex aware jews are superior
after the russian victory, its going to get very messy as the ukrainians responsible for the conflict are hunted down, as the russian fsb and svr have got a long reach i.e. no hiding place for zeleyskky and his associates.
we can only hope
criminal grifters like krusty the klown of kiev and his entourage are key allies in destabilizing the failed ukrainian cia project. russia needs more servants of ukraine like krusty and his accomplices.
mindich didn’t influence anyone. he was a bag man and was rewarded handsomely for it, especially when defecating.
stop prosecuting corruption in ukraine! if you arrest every corrupt person there will be no one left to run the government, and israel will experience a huge housing shortage, especially of mansions.
sonar21 have a funny discussion about the russian word for majority, “bolshevik” 😂 some try to translate it to minority, “mensheviks” 😂 its mostly them klinging to “parliamentary”, parasites. poor russians, only they had destroyed the one ring, the zero, they had succeeded. now they cant even name the root cause.
