ANALYSIS/ How Zelensky's inner circle was affected by major corruption
Volodymyr Zelensky

" And how did you transport the box?" one asked. "It had a handle, like a laptop bag. Put a million dollars inside. Let me check better. No, one million and 600 thousand dollars. Carrying a box of money, by hand, through the streets of Kiev. It wasn't much fun, my friend, I assure you ."

This is how bribery worked in Ukraine, according to what the wiretaps say.

Officials would take money and sometimes not even check the amount, out of fear of being caught, or because it was simply a very small amount compared to the tens of millions of dollars that were moving.

When the corrupt Timor Mindich speaks on the phone with the Minister of Energy, Herman Halushchenko , the tone of people who feel untouchable is heard. They laugh and encourage each other.

At one point, they even mention Zelensky, not knowing that inspectors from the Anticorruption Agency were listening.

Zelensky's inner circle

This inner circle has been Zelensky's biggest problem during the four years of war. According to the agency, they had created a criminal system that demanded 10–15% of all contracts from the state-owned nuclear energy company "Energoatom", stealing somewhere between 75 and 100 million euros.

The glove box was a special case, usually no cash was required.

A Ukrainian businessman says that the corrupt in Ukraine don't get their hands dirty with cash.

"They didn't get their hands dirty with cash. You had to pay through a consulting firm, or they had people checking taxes, and the fines were always higher than the legal minimum. There were always ways to avoid them," he said.

A case of corruption also occurred with the Church. A humanitarian fund of one million euros was spent mainly on "representation and communication."

Who opposed them?

Few people managed to oppose those close to Zelensky, including Prime Minister Yulia Svyrdenko, an enemy of Yermak and supported by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, General Valery Zaluzhny, “interned” in London, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, dismissed for excessive autonomy, Oleksandr Kubrakov, an aspiring prime minister, dismissed for close ties to US President Joe Biden, and Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who demanded transparency on the drones and funds that Yermak promised for his friend Artem Kolyubayev, a film producer and former Zelensky associate.

The vicious circle was very dangerous, it was difficult to get in and even more difficult to get out. The investigation into Yermak also involved Rustem Umerov, the head of the National Security Council and former Minister of Defense, the very one Zelensky chose to lead the delegation to the Florida negotiations.

A Rada deputy said that "Zelensky's fault was that he did not listen to those who saw the thefts and reported them."

alarm

An alarm bell was raised in June when then-Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov was arrested and released on $2.9 million bail over a public land deal sold to his friends.

Never before had such a politician ended up in prison. It was also discovered that he also accepted cash, in the office, in envelopes for his wife, and even at a clinic where he was being treated.

They called him "Che Guevara" and his motto was unique. "It is only worth fighting for the things without which it is not worth living."

Was he talking about Ukraine? No, probably about tenders./ CorriereDellaSera
