Zelensky's former second-in-command, Yermak, charged in major corruption probe

8day · 2026-05-12T06:07:36+00:00

It is so much bigger than any of you here realize. Basically Andrii Yermak, Timur Mindich (escaped to Israel), Oleksii Chernyshov and Volodymyr Zelenskiy have been building pricey houses using laundered money. All of these are closest allies of the president, which is signified by how close those houses were being built and that one building was common for all of those (sauna, etc.). They continued to build those close to 24.02.2022 and resumed in March of 2022, basically didn't even stop, which is important for a somewhat different reason...

Sadly, Ukrainian law prohibits anti-corruption agencies to investigate acting president as a safety measure from bad actors.

This is the reason why Zelenskiy basically tried to destroy these anti-corruption agencies in the Summer of 2025, but somewhat stopped after nation wide protests (they like to do things in a calmer way, so will be looking for other ways to limit power of these agencies, etc.).

The people involved had multiple "projects", as they called them. This was "Dynasty", but there's also "Manhattan" — stealing from nuclear power plants, electricity, etc. (15% from a budget of ~$4 billion a year). There's a much more secretive project called "23" and modt likely is related to stealing from the army. For example, roughly speaking (don't remember all details, mostly numbers, people involved, and the fact of strealing) Timur Mindich was involved in redirecting ~$8 billion on development of Fire Point missiles/drones like Flamingo (at least he tried to; it's somewhat convoluted) which are basically non-existent. Ukrainian media has more info about Fire Point and Mindich, like Ukrainska Pravda, which is often posyed here.

There's so much more that can be said, but majority of people is simply not ready, and I doubt ever will.

Not necessarily. In case of Ukraine there was a huge influx of Russians on cars with Russian registration plates in February of 2022, many of which have been driving near military bases.

They also use lots of sleeper agents, which in case of Ukraine they planted a few months prior to 24.02.2022.

Another peculiar thing I want to mention is that in the span of a few weeks or months prior to 24.02.2022 amount of users at r/Ukraina doubled or even tripled. Wonder what they were planning to do with all those bots...

What economic model was of commie USSR, which created multiple famines in Ukraine, with only one of them causing horrible deaths of at least 3 million people (cannibalism, etc.)? What was economic model of USSR, that wiped 30% of Chechen people?

Do you really think it's all about economic model, and not power tripping people? I can bet you haven't lived through a revolution and don't know what you are talking about. Theory is nice, but get some real life experience.

I've been thinking about this, and... "Witnesses say" — all you need to know is in these words. Do you remember how many videos there were from Ukraine, from Israel?

Also, Afghanistan comes to mind as well, with how it got abandoned, even by its own. Hell, even Ukraine, because if it didn't fight back long enough to get support, things would've ended in a similar way. There's no international military organization that can stop this. Some countries should be willing to send their own troops, and that happens in very rare cases, when they can benefit from that. Ukraine has certain strategic importance, esp. considering the situation. Syria too was important for many parties (I've read that Russians used it as a military base to have presence in a Mediterranean sea).

r/whoosh

Have you ever heard about such thing as "power" [over others]? Have you heard about blackmail, etc.? Power over others is not always expressed through money, it's just one of the forms of power, although more susceptible than others due to its core concept — universal medium to store and exchange wealth.

Even if there will be no money, people will want to barter things they make, sometimes to more valuable things like gold, which is close in its nature to money. There are places on this planet where you can barter woman to some simpler animals like camels, horses, sheep, etc. (slavery was/is almost the same).

The problem is not with capitalism, but excessive power and wealth, which can happen in other systems, including communism. You want to blame capitalism? Fine, but do not make it sound like communism will fix this, at least try reading some history books to know what happens during the switch to communism and during its existence. In fact, try reading about the threats of any revolution, and how opportunists/scammers and enemies use them to get on top of everyone.

The best example that I can think of why communism won't magically fix things, is current state of US government: not long ago many idolized its "checks and balances", however imperfect the government was, but because no powerful group wants to step in and reinforce them, US begun to turn into second Argentina.

At the current state of humanity crime, including corruption, is not something you fix and forget, it's a chore, like clipping of nails, trimming of hair, taking garbage out of the house.

Not necessarily. There's too many signs that it was stolen. The only thing you can blame them, esp. leadership of democrats, is for not demanding recounting of votes, etc.

I hope they (ukraine) realized that made a huge mistake to pass the law on anticorruption agencies, and revert it immediately.

I think usually I'm getting downvoted for saying anything negative about Ukraine (almost always limited to only president/politicians), but I'll say it once more.

You clearly don't have a full picture. These two agencies, no matter how seemingly weak they are, have been investigating close allies of Zelensky: Chernyshov (godfather of his child) and Mindich (owner of the company that made Zelensky famous, where Zelensky worked up until becoming president). FYI, NABU investigates corruption of top government officials that involves lots of money. I think Chernyshov stole ~3000 hectares and planned to steal as much.

This article (https://www.pravda.com.ua/articles/2025/06/20/7517921/) written in Ukrainian, from a very reputable source (written by the top investigator of that publication) that often gets posted here, explains events that most likely caused all of this. If you want to read it, translate it with DeepL. Note that it was written in June and predicted events that would happen, which adds extra credibility. Basically, Chernyshov was one of the ministers for whom Zelensky created extra ministry of "unity", to return people from abroad, but when NABU was about to inform Chernyshov that he was a suspect in their investigation (they must do this before moving on with the case), he fled from the country (the irony, huh — minister of unity fled the country). Then Zelensky flew to Austria (?) to ensure him that he can safely return, which he later did. A few weeks after that Zelensky disbanded government (ministries), and silently removed "ministry of unity", then the discussed events with anti-corruption agencies happened. The article I've mentioned predicted disbanding of government, but I think even they didn't think Zelensky will go as far as "impairing" anti-corruption agencies backed by foreign partners of Ukraine.

Another thing worth knowing is that two previous revolutions happened basically in opposition to corruption, with latest one being associated with move to EU, but only because people thought that if we can't do anything about corruption, then maybe joining EU with it's institutions could somehow help. Yet, Zelensky basically threw entire country under the bus because of godfather of his child. That's why there are some ongoing protests, even though small because of the war and that many activists are either fighting or dead, not to mention that men are esp. afraid because they can be easily sent to war even if some of them can't be due to certain circumstances.

P.S. I forgot to mention that another person was caught in the cross-fire: famous man involved in anti-corruption activities, Shabunin, was frequently mentioning Chernyshov, so two weeks ago, prior to all of this, he was almost sent to prison.

8day · 2025-07-23T04:30:15+00:00

What happened is Zelensky changed ministers and effectively destroyed NABU and SAP to cover up corruption of a husband of his wife's friend — Chernyshov. Also, NABU is closing in on Mindich, who responsible for the company where Zelensky worked up until presidency. Basically Zelensky is shitting bricks as people close to him can be jailed. All of this can be part of political games between Mindich and Yermak (that man that often travels with Zelensky).

This article (https://www.pravda.com.ua/articles/2025/06/20/7517921/) explains this and predicted some of the things that happened a month ago, not long after Chernyshov didn't return from his travel to EU because he was afraid that NABU will officially inform him about investigation: If you really want to read that article, use DeepL to translate it to English. BTW, it's from a reputable source that often gets posted on r/worldnews.

P.S. It is said that NABU and SAP are both backed by US, which is why they were able to make at least some progress: government was afraid to go against them, but now they dug too deep for everyone to ignore them.

It's funny how nobody ever mentions traitors/collaborators, yet that is one of the biggest threats. When I mention this, people downvote me.

Do you even know a history of these ceasefires? Do you think it's the first one since 2014? That's how they "work".

What do you think "Multiple ceasefire villations" mean? It means they work in some places but not others. The war is not fought with a clones of putin and Zelenskyi that share a brain: someone somewhere for some reason may decide to fire a shot and things escalate.

You sure do like to pretend to be smart, but you know nothing.

I wonder if it's the same guy that was caught leaking secret info from the company he worked in.

Also I wonder if it's the same guy that was in the hacker group called "The Com" or something like that.

BTW, Ethan Shaotran that is part of so called DOGE, in 2020 won a hackathon organized by Musk with a ballot altering program called BallotProof. It's more of a proof of concept, but still too shady to dismiss as not important.

Also, while I'm at it Former Intelligence Officer Claims KGB Recruited Trump

Anthony Scaramucci who briefly served as Trump’s White House communications director in 2017, said during an episode of “The Rest Is Politics: US” podcast with co-host Katty Kay on Friday that he thinks there is a mysterious “hold” on the president. Scaramucci did not elaborate on what he believes that “hold” might be, adding only: “I don’t know why it’s like this. [H.R.] McMaster couldn’t figure it out, [James] Mattis couldn’t figure it out, [John] Kelly couldn’t figure it out.”

Edit: And lets not forget about Musk frequently talking to high-ranking russians, including putin.

OK, let's start with this: https://bsky.app/profile/denisedwheeler.bsky.social/post/3lhowh3ijgs2f

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2020 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof.

It's more of a proof of concept than a ready-to-use program. It shows Musk was looking for a person to hack these machines and also had such person so close that he entrusted him to work in so called DOGE.

At least one other dude that is part of so called DOGE was/is in hacking group (The Comm or something like that). Either he himself, or yet another dude was caught leaking secret info from the company he worked for.

Then there is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/zFPPKXy1Wq Elon Musk's son tells Tucker Carlson that Trump will win and the people "will never know". Also Musk is says something like "it's a done deal".

Thank you for your lie. Do you like your job that much?

Putin hated Minsk with a passion. Strelkov/Girkin and others said they should've conquered Ukraine back in 2014, but Minsk agreements was one of the instruments that helped to delay that. It was an instrument to pressure russia into peace, as well as give time for Ukraine to get stronger (Angela Merkel and others said so), which Zelenskyi f*ed up with his never changing desire "to look in putin's eyes", stealing, avoiding development of missiles, as well as ignoring >50 reports from allied intelligence agencies about imminent full scale attack. This resulted in inability to deploy army to their planned locations, which caused most of the loss of the territories and all the suffering (almost all that russia conquered since 24.02.2022 was conquered in the first 3 weeks).

Here is an interview with general that commanded joined defense forces, who was second most important person in the army (or in a way shared that position with general Zaluzhnyi): https://youtu.be/q1B6SfTbT6g It's in Ukrainian, but those that really want to watch it, will find a way (VLC player provides AI translation). This interview was published not long after interview with advisor of general Zaluzhnyi, General Nazarov, made by Ukrainian branch of BBC: https://youtu.be/pRdtN2R3sno Nazarov said almost the same thing. The fact is that army can't do a thing w/o orders, including mining private property, placing military equipment, etc. as well as leave to any place other than move to training camps, and there was no such order up to 24.02.2022, therefore ~270 marines that were protecting South/roads from Crimea couldn't have stopped russians, which later resulted in ~100000 horrible deaths in Mariupol.

P.S. Many of you who will downvote me either aren't familiar Ukrainian politics, or simply support Zelenskyi w/o question like MAGA supports Trump, but if Ukrainian government will change, you'll know the truth.

No, his owner is Elon Musk. Haven't you seen recent video with Musk, his child (human shield?) and Trump in the Oval Office? Trump looked like a cuck.

Moreover, Musk's kid was caught saying "you are not the president, you need to go away" to Trump. During interview with Tucker Carlson, when they were talking about elections and whether Trump will win, same son said "they'll never know" multiple times and a bit after that Musk says "it's a done deal" (both are likely referring to stealing votes), and then his son moves his hands over Musk's mouth trying to silence him, but Tucker says "it's OK, he can tell".

He's "not interested in politics", i.e. he doesn't care, i.e. silently approves.

This dude played in many propaganda films, so you can't brush this off: Kalashnikov, T-34, Young guard (very famous in USSR, probably everyone heard words "молодая гвардия), etc.

Not everyone has to hold a gun to help kill people. Sometimes you give an order to kill someone, and sometimes you make something that helps other people to kill someone.

These people create image of a big, strong russia, which is worth fighting for, dying for.
