Former associate of Zelensky accused of corruption • FRANCE 24 English

Ukrainian President Vlim Zilinski also imposed sanctions on close associates Timur Mindic and Alexander Tukerman following a $100 million corruption scandal at the state nuclear company Enerto. Both have fled the country as Zalinski’s call for ministerial resignations, full audits and new management across key energy firms promising stronger oversight. But the pressure is closing in on the Ukrainian president. Kira Kudik, leader of the Liberal Hollis party in Ukraine, spoke to France 24. She says her party is now supporting a vote of no confidence in the president. We are standing uh with the position to revamp the government and we think there should be a vote of no confidence to the government in total. Uh Ukrainian people obviously want um to see some justice. It’s impossible to have the elections and it’s impossible to have the political responsibility for president and his team. Um so the government would be the best way of showing that uh the corruption in Ukraine would not stand. Look um two people who uh were involved in this schema uh they were voted into the government twice. So it is obvious that uh there was a support from presidential party and it’s absolutely unacceptable at the time of the war to have the people who have selected and elected people who were um actually uh taking money from Ukraine that is bleeding and collecting money for the army uh to uh to their own pockets. So uh right now uh the situation on the ground is indeed um very complicated. People are really shocked and annoyed and we need to be very careful and responsible in the actions on the next week. So I think the vote of no confidence to the government is the best solution and then uh rethinking and forming the new coalition uh in Ukrainian parliament. We know that the coalition of President Zalinski with the mono majority uh has not worked well for the last couple of months at least and we have seen the issues with attempt to strip Naboo of their rights. Um and uh this scandal is showing what was obvious uh that it’s very hard to operate with mono majority in our country. So um Hollos party alongside with European solidarities and perhaps others we will be calling for the vote of no confidence and we will see if there will be support. But we hope that good people in Ukrainian parliament really understand what is at stake right now the stability of Ukraine and the trust of people to uh to the government and to the parliament. So this would definitely

Before the revelation of a multimillion dollar embezzlement and kickbacks scandal involving Ukraine’s state nuclear energy company brought his name to the forefront, Tymur Mindich was a shadowy presence – navigating deals and moving behind the scenes with unseen influence, known to many, yet rarely spoken of.

  11. Worse in Russia.

  12. Just russian bots in comments So pitty, France 24! You’re asking to comment only “opposition”, where is a comment from the president’s side?😳

  14. Fortunately Zelensky could warn his friends in order for them to flee in time. Now he needs to make for some distraction to keep himself in power without calling out for elections (that he'll lose).

  15. There’s a ring of individuals who were selected by Zelenskyy or who were friends with him so.
    If it swims like a fish and looks like a fish, then something is fishy.
    Time for a change.
    Slava Ukraini

  17. At least the Ukrainians are dealing with it. This is just the big boys there's plenty of little scum being cought as well. Lest we forget… In Russia and it's ALLIES it's NORMAL PROCEDURE….

  20. Zelenskiy was a middle level member of Igor Kolomoisky mafia clan for many years and was heavily involved in many criminal activities as a member of the mafia clan. Igor Kolomoisky mafia clan is the most powerful and the most brutal mafia clan in the whole of Eastern Europe, back in the 1990s responsible for the murder of more than 40k civilians and thousands of police officers in newly-created Ukraine. Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the world and de facto is a failed state, which has been overrun by the rival large mafia clans and the massive extreme far-right organisations….
