On November 10, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) exposed an alleged $110 million corruption scheme at state-owned nuclear company Energoatom. The charges are supported by a fifteen-month wiretap and over seventy searches carried out as part of a major investigation called Operation Midas.

According to NABU officials, the investigation uncovered a criminal enterprise run by Timur Mindich, a film producer and a former business partner of Zelenskyy. Additional suspects include former Minister of Energy and recently appointed Minister of Justice Herman Halushchenko; former Naftogaz CEO and Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov; former Minister of Defense and current National Security and Defense Council member Rustem Umerov; and Ihor Myroniuk, former deputy head of the State Property Fund and former advisor to Halushchenko.

Mindich fled Ukraine the day before his premises were raided and is reportedly now in Israel.

    They already deny all evidence, facts , logic and there’s an overwhelming amount of evidence proving that Trump is compromised by Russia. If you’re waiting for maga to get their last two brain cells to understand reality I just feel sorry for you

      So why Trump would do anything for Putin over a leak of him sucking a horse, if his base doesn’t care would not change the result of the election. How that would impact anything for Trump? Why not just buy him with money/crypto/assets/information?

        This is literally the best argument. Trump will do anything for money and gold, why do things the hard way?

        I think it’s a convenient time to character assassinate Zelensky if you’re trying to put pressure on him to push him into a bad deal that benefits Russia.
