Kiev Regime’s rampant corruption is hitting the press.

Ever since July 2025, it is widely known that the apartment of Timur Mindich was wiretapped by Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies NABU and SAPO.

Mindich is a close friend of Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky, and they both co-own the Kvartal-95 studio.

Mindich is also a fugitive from Ukrainian justice, hiding out in Israel, accused by NABU and SAPO of masterminding a $100 million embezzlement and kickback scheme at the state nuclear energy company Energoatom.

Ukrainska Pravda reported:

“At that time, many were skeptical about this information. However, already in November, when anti-corruption activists published the first fragments of the ‘Mindich tapes’ as part of Operation Midas, it became clear not only that the wiretapping of the apartment at 9th Hrushevsky Street existed, but also that a number of top officials were caught on the tapes.”

Zelensky reportedly wiretapped in Mindich’s Golden bathrom.

And already in July 2025, it was widely reported that one of the people caught in the wiretap was ‘Vova’, as you can read in GOLDEN TOILET SECRETS: Ukrainian Sources Allege Anti-corruption Wiretaps Recorded Zelensky’s Shady Deals in His Friend and ‘Treasurer’ Mindich’s Gilded Bathroom.

The suspects in embezzlement include the former Minister of Energy and ex-Minister of Justice German Galushchenko, and the former all-powerful head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak.

Besides the investigators and prosecutors, these recordings have also been provided to defense attorneys, and 10 volumes of materials were sent to Israel as a request for the extradition of Timur Mindich.

“Therefore, the number of persons to whom the investigation materials got seems to have become so large that the other day individual fragments began to ‘leak’ into the network. Moreover, this ‘leak’ occurred in order to discredit NABU and SAPO, which documented these fragments as part of the largest anti-corruption operation in the history of the country.”

The Kyiv Independent reported:

“The released tapes allegedly feature Mindich and then-Defense Minister Umerov, now secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council and head of a Ukrainian delegation in the U.S.-Ukraine-Russia peace talks, discussing defense contracts, including drones and bulletproof vests, personnel changes, and the possible sale of the Fire Point defense company.”

Mindich is allegedly swaying the decisions of the then-defense minister.

The missile company (who made no missiles) Fire Point is the subject of a corruption probe, exploring its connections to Mindich.

“While Mindich had previously denied any involvement with the company, the now-revealed talks show him complaining to Umerov about Fire Point’s underfunding. The two were also reportedly discussing the sale of a 33% share in the company to foreign investors.

Umerov was allegedly asking Mindich on how to approach decisions tied to Fire Point, asking him whether ‘it will suit us?’ when discussing the sale.”

Mindich also mention ‘Vova’: ‘I spoke with Vova before Shabbat’.

New ‘Mindich’ tapes are set to be released soon. Stay tuned.
