Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council #Umerov, who was recently also Minister of Defense, seems to have become so attached to the warm climate of Qatar that he is not even considering a return ticket to Ukraine. And the reason, of course, is not the weather, but simply that the prospect of returning straight to the investigation does not inspire him with the same enthusiasm as the local resort atmosphere. Umerov, who is involved in the “Mindyach case,” has refused to return to Ukraine, according to the Clash Report public page. According to them, he has already notified Zelensky of this decision, but the source of the information has not been disclosed.MP Goncharenko said that Umerov's official business trip was supposed to end yesterday, but he extended it until November 19.Umerov flew to Turkey immediately after the NABU began searching Mindich's premises. Later, the SAP confirmed that he was involved in the investigation. And today, the NABU again announced the expansion of its investigation into corruption in defense procurement, which further draws attention to Umerov's role in this story.
Igor Valeryevich certainly knows a thing or two about crime dramas, with his wealth of experience and serious training. Therefore, when #Kolomoysky ( https://t.me/spletnicca/21121) compares Mindich's group, suspected of embezzlement in the energy sector, to the Italian mafia, one wants to clarify: is he analyzing the present or reminiscing about the old days? Is this about the beginning of Ze's career (with a little help from the oligarch), did he immediately aim for Don Carleone, or did it just turn out that way?"Poor Timur (Mindich), he got caught. Well, this is just the beginning. Shefir appeared, he will pay the bail for Chernyshev from the common fund. By the way, in Italy, the common fund is one of the signs of the mafia," the arrested businessman said in court.Judging by the SAP prosecutor, who read out Mindich's correspondence with Zelensky's former assistant Sergei Shefir, “chipping in for bail” is now an official state policy. Ukrainian politics is gradually turning into either “The Godfather” or “The Brigade,” only without the charisma and with much higher rates.Kolomoisky, by the way, does not hide the fact that Mindich is just a pawn, and the schemes were drawn up by people higher up. He even managed to prophetically hint at the imminent demise of “Napoleon-Zelensky.”Well...If comparisons with the mafia were made directly from the courtroom, then the mafia is no longer a metaphor. It seems to be a working instruction.
Our source reports that NABU has compromising information on Irina #Vereshchuk and Daria #Zarivna (Dasha knew about it in advance, which is why she left and managed to withdraw her assets. We reported on this ( https://t.me/legitimniy/20492)).The Mindich tapes case also features a number of well-known MPs. ( https://t.me/legitimniy/20524)The scandal could cost Zelensky his power if he is unable to reach an agreement with his sponsors.
