Another corruption scandal in Selensky's environment

On Friday, a new corruption scandal was known in Ukraine, which tracks directly Selenskys a confined environment. Apparently, the West increased the pressure on the girl to the door.

Saturday 5. September 2026 At 13:09

The National anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) said on Friday evening that it is run in the context of a "special operation Carthage" searches in the attorney General. The Operation was directed against a network of telephone fraud specialist call centers, which were protected by a senior staff of the attorney General. The call centers are mainly in Russia, but also in Europe and is scamming people out of money. According to a statement issued by the NABU on Friday evening, an employee of the Prosecutor General's Office was involved in these profits and also helped launder the proceeds.

- The "Ukrajinskaja Prawda" reported in the evening that Sergei Kropiva, the Deputy head of the Department of international cooperation of the General Prosecutor's office, was arrested in the course of the investigation.

The press service of the Prosecutor General's office reported in the evening that the officials against because of possible involvement in illegal activities is determined, for the duration of the preliminary investigation process suspended from duty and to deal fully with the anti-corruption authorities, to the facts of the case to fully investigate.

This seems to be only lip service to have been, because on Saturday (Aug 5, 2026) morning was the NABU, the next bomb to burst and published more than a half-hour Video (below) in which – as so often in the course of investigations of the NABU as evidence of long passages recorded talks were released. The NABU has published no clear name to the to listen to people, but only the code name that they had given themselves.

If these were identified by the media correctly, this is, among other things, to the Ruslan Kravchenko (code-named "chief"), the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, and Sergei Krapiva (code-named "Chancellor"), the head of the cyber division of the office of the Prosecutor General, who was arrested, according to Ukrainian media. In addition, Krapiva's girlfriend can be heard under the codename "Muse".

In one of his published talks, he orders her to clean up your Instagram Account because you are there with luxury items such as bags of Hermes and jewelry by Messika (according to your words, so much better than Cartier) shows.

I'm going in more detail about the case, because he is, of course, in connection with the struggle for power in Ukraine, in the course of this week in Kiev to a shootout between the Ukrainian secret service SBU and GUR come. Also on Friday, a drone directly in the window of the offices of the SBU chief Alexander Poklad flew and exploded.

In the case of the drone, it was a prey drone of Russian design of the type of geranium to the attack, Russia and the perpetrators in Kiev to distract. But the clumsy attempt this attack Russia append, was unmasked in Ukraine quickly, because the drone reports according to Ukrainian media in the Ukraine near Kiev launched.

The NABU is controlled by the West, one can say with certainty that these latest revelations of NABU are again directed against the girl to the door, because the attorney General is, like the secret service, the SBU, in his presidential administration. The girl to the door, he was only a year ago, in the summer of 2025, to the attorney General.

In the "Operation Carthage", according to the NABU fraudulent call center is, points to a connection to the bombing of Monaco on the Ukrainian oligarchs Ermolaev from the end of June, and the money to telephone scams are specializing in call centers has made. The traces of this murder trial will lead to a Ukrainian military intelligence GUR, whose employees were injured a few days ago at the time of the shooting in Kiev by the SBU officers, although there were initial Reports indicate that a connection to the bombing of Monaco.

In any case, the power is led campaign in Ukraine, with almost daily for the gloves and, apparently, the West is losing patience with the girl to the door, when he leaves the NABU now in such short intervals, always new corruption scandals from Selenskys environment to publish. The last such release, there were at 19. August, so just two weeks ago.

What the West is doing, you can here read.

I will today or tomorrow publish a more detailed analysis of the events, this was only the breaking news about the new releases of the NABU.

NABU

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ "Protection" racket for call centers and asset laundering: criminal organization led by an official from the Prosecutor General’s Office exposed 👥

NABU and SAPO have exposed a criminal organization whose members systematically received illicit benefits from fraudulent call centers and laundered millions in assets. The scheme’s organizer was identified as a department head within the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO).

According to the investigation, the PGO official established and led the criminal organization in mid-2025. He recruited both serving prosecutors and unofficial associates into the illicit activities.

Members of the criminal organization set up a system for regularly accepting bribes in exchange for not interfering with the illegal operations of so-called call centers. These shadow entities engaged in mass-scale fraud, victimizing both Ukrainian citizens and foreign nationals.

The individuals involved laundered the proceeds of their crimes through various schemes.

Over UAH 20 million was spent on purchasing real estate, jewelry, and valuable movable property.

Assets worth more than UAH 12 million (at minimum market value) were laundered by the organization's leader through re-registration to third parties to conceal actual ownership. This includes, in particular, real estate in a popular apartment complex near the Carpathian Mountains. Members of the group deposited over UAH 10 million into the bank accounts of their close associates, disguising the funds as legitimate income supposedly derived from business activities.

Five members of the criminal organization have been exposed so far.

Preliminary legal classification: Art. 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (creation of or leadership over a criminal community or criminal organization, as well as participation therein); Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (legalization [laundering] of property obtained through criminal means).

Investigative actions are ongoing. Other potential members of the criminal organization are being identified.

NABU searches Prosecutor General Kravchenko’s office in probe into criminal group protecting scam call centers

September 5, 2026 2:32 pm

 (Updated:  September 5, 2026 5:15 pm)

by Tania Myronyshena 

Criminal proceedings in an investigation by Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies into a criminal group that protected scam call centers and was allegedly led by a top official in the Prosecutor General’s Office, published on Sept. 5, 2026. (NABU)

Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) said on Sept. 5 they had uncovered an alleged criminal organization led by a senior official at the Prosecutor General's Office that protected fraudulent call centers and laundered millions of hryvnias.

Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko could be implicated in the case. The Prosecutor General's Office confirmed on Sept. 5 that searches were conducted in his office as part of the investigation.

The case comes amid a series of high-profile NABU investigations, including probes involving Zelensky's former deputy chief of staff

Iryna Mudra and former Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak, as well as the major Energoatom corruption case.

NABU did not publicly name the alleged organizer, identifying him only as a head of one of the Prosecutor General's Office's structural units.

On Sept. 4, a law enforcement source told the Kyiv Independent that NABU had detained Serhiy Kropyva, a deputy head of the international cooperation department at the Prosecutor General's Office, in connection with the case.

According to investigators, the official created the group in mid-2025, recruiting serving prosecutors and associates outside the Prosecutor General's Office.

The group allegedly received systematic bribes in exchange for allowing fraudulent call centers to operate without interference. The call centers targeted both Ukrainian citizens and foreigners, investigators said.

According to NABU, operating fraudulent call centers is one of the most profitable forms of criminal activity in Ukraine.

The proceeds were then allegedly laundered through property purchases, third-party ownership schemes, and bank accounts belonging to associates.

Investigators said more than Hr 20 million ($450,000) was spent on real estate, jewelry, and other valuable property.

Assets worth at least Hr 12 million ($270,000) were allegedly registered in the names of third parties to conceal their true ownership, including property in an apartment complex near the Carpathian Mountains.

Another Hr 10 million ($225,000) was placed in bank accounts belonging to associates and presented as legitimate income from business activities, according to NABU and SAPO.

Five (5) alleged members of the organization have so far been identified.

According to investigators, the official leading the group worked on behalf of and received protection from someone identified as the "boss." His patronymic appears to be Andriiovych, according to the recordings released by NABU.

Within the formal structure of the Prosecutor General’s Office, a top prosecutor could report directly to Prosecutor General Kravchenko, whose patronymic is Andriiovych. NABU did not directly implicate Kravchenko in the case.

Kravchenko was reportedly out of contact for more than 12 hours before ZN.UA sources said later on Sept. 5 that he had been found at a Kyiv clinic. 

Despite earlier denials, the Prosecutor General's Office confirmed that NABU detectives had conducted overnight searches in offices used by Kravchenko, his first deputy, and other employees.  

The office said it would cooperate with the investigation and was considering dismissing the employee allegedly involved in the call center scheme.

At the same time, the office questioned the justification for the searches, saying the court materials contained no direct evidence that Kravchenko had ordered anyone to protect fraudulent call centers, obstruct investigations, warned suspects about planned investigative actions, received illicit funds, or benefited from proceeds allegedly linked to the scheme.

The office said the sufficiency of the evidence used to authorize searches of the Prosecutor General's offices therefore required separate legal assessment.

Viktor Orbán Responds to von der Leyen's Request to Boost Ukraine's Funding

Hungary Today 2025.11.18.

L-R: António Costa, President of the European Council, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission

“It is shocking that while a war mafia in Ukraine is pocketing European taxpayers’ money, instead of ordering an audit or possibly suspending further payments, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, is proposing that we send even more money,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a video posted on Facebook on Monday.

The head of government said he had received a letter from Ursula von der Leyen, in which she reportedly writes that the amount missing from Ukraine’s financing is significant. “And in this letter, she asks us for money. The President is asking the Member States for money,” the Prime Minister said, summarizing the contents of the letter. He noted that he is trying to understand and will endeavor to respond to the letter on Tuesday if possible, but that it is “not so simple.”

I am trying to restrain my initial instinct to write a polite letter, because it is shocking that while it turns out that a war mafia in Ukraine is pocketing European taxpayers’ money—God knows where exactly—instead of ordering an audit or perhaps suspend further payments, the president of the commission is proposing that we send even more money,”

he said.

Viktor Orbán added that this is like trying to wean an alcoholic off drinking by sending him another crate of vodka. “I will have to politely convey this thought to the president tomorrow,” said the Prime Minister.

In his post accompanying the video, the prime minister wrote: “We will not withdraw our money from the golden piggy bank!”

Last Monday, Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities (NABU and SAPO, whose independence the Ukrainian government attempted to abolish in July) published a detailed report on the investigation into a high-profile corruption case involving Ukrainian oligarch Timur Mindich, also known as Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s “treasurer,” as reported by hirado.hu.

After 15 months of investigation, the anti-corruption authorities came across thousands of hours of audio recordings, on the basis of which they came to the following conclusion:

The actors in the scandal operated a comprehensive corruption network to control state-owned energy companies, including Energoatom, Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear energy company.”

According to 444, the Ukrainian press has reported that in the course of the investigation, the authorities also found audio recordings in which Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s voice can be heard.

In addition to oligarch Timur Mindich, the investigation was extended to the Ministry of Justice under Herman Halushchenko and the Ministry of Energy under Svitlana Hrynchuk. The latter submitted her resignation after the publication of the NABU report, following a video message from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calling on her to do so. Zelenskyy also demanded Halushchenko’s resignation.

During a search of Timur Mindich’s apartment, authorities reportedly found bundles of dollars packed in sports bags as well as a golden toilet.

Government Demands Ukraine Account for EU Funds before Any New Aid

MTI-Hungary Today 2025.11.21. 

The Hungarian Government not only refuses to provide further funds and weapons to Ukraine, but also demands that the corrupt regime immediately account for the EU aid it has received so far, Foreign and Trade Minister Péter Szijjártó announced on Thursday in Brussels.

The Minister stated at a press conference after the meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council that there was “madness” in Brussels, as the meeting proceeded as if nothing had happened in Ukraine, and further aid of €100 billion for the country was being negotiated as if one of the most serious corruption scandals in European political history were not currently unfolding there.

“It was proposed to send even more money to Ukraine to secure the functioning of the Ukrainian state and army for the next few years. It was suggested that even more weapons be sent to Ukraine, if necessary by purchasing weapons for Ukraine from the credit line for strengthening European defense capabilities. And it was proposed that Russian energy companies also be subject to sanctions, which would of course be another serious blow to the European economy,” he listed.

“Unfortunately, it could get even worse, because today several colleagues said that the corruption scandal in Ukraine is another reason, another justification for admitting Ukraine to the European Union,” the chief diplomat continued.

It has been said that Ukrainians must be admitted to the European Union in order to prevent further corruption scandals. This is madness that must be stopped,”

he added. The Minister emphasized that Hungary would not only refrain from providing further funds and weapons, but would also demand that Ukraine immediately account for the EU aid it has received so far. “We demand that Ukraine account for how much money European taxpayers have fallen victim to the corruption network,” he stressed.

FM Péter Szijjártó also warned that it was dangerous that in response to news of the peace plan under preparation, some European politicians openly signaled their continued interest in obstructing the peace process and raised every possible doubt and objection.

It is clear that European politicians still do not want peace and will do everything they can to prevent the conclusion of a peace agreement,”

he argued. The Minister then condemned the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy for welcoming the Ukrainian attacks on the Russian energy system, which in his opinion clearly carries the risk of escalation. “The situation is such that the political elite here in Brussels is currently under the illusion (…) that Ukraine can win this war,” Szijjártó noted.

“Of course, the Ukrainians have the right to continue the war, but this decision or right of the Ukrainians does not in any way morally or legally oblige the European Union (…).

It is deeply contrary to Europe’s interests to pump money and weapons into the continuation of this unwinnable war,”

he said. In this context, the Minister emphasized that instead, the fighting must be ended as quickly as possible and that to this end, the American President’s peace efforts must be supported immediately and unconditionally. “At the same time, I think it would also be in Europe’s interest for European-Russian negotiations to begin as soon as possible so that the European Union is not excluded from future, promising cooperation between West and East after a possible American-Russian agreement,” he explained.

‘It's Crazy’ - to send 100 Billion Euros to Ukraine, says Hungarian FM Szijjártó on Ursula von der Leyen's decision

‘It is crazy’ – Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó on Ursula von der Leyen's decision to send more money to Ukraine.

Hungary demands that Kiev present a report on how much money from European taxpayers went to the corruption network in Ukraine — Foreign Minister Szijjártó

Adding:

The Russian State Duma adopted a resolution with a proposal for retaliatory measures against the EU in case of seizure of Russian assets

Assets of non-residents from unfriendly states may be used as a source of compensation for damages.

Adding:

Adding:  Western media continues its daily ritual: another “peace plan,” another round of anonymous “insider opinions,” another attempt to imply what unnamed American and Russian officials supposedly think.

Then the analysts pick it up, and generate three more layers of speculation. 

So let’s stick to what is known.

On November, 11th, Sergey Lavrov gave an interview where he stated clearly:

The meeting between the presidents of Russia and the United States led to a certain compromise between the two countries on the settlement of the Ukraine crisis — but Moscow is not abandoning its fundamental positions.

He underscored that Russia will continue insisting on eliminating the root causes of the conflict, not treating its symptoms.
