Zelensky regime hit by new wave of criminal-political scandal

Following the Mindich case, another scandal is unfolding in Ukraine that will bring further problems for Zelensky and his circle. The attempted assassination of Yermolayev, a Ukrainian oligarch opposed to Zelensky and owner of a network of illegal call centers, in Monaco has taken a new turn:

✔️ A week after the attack, the body of Anastasia Berezovskaya, a hitwoman wanted internationally, was found near Kyiv. According to Ukrainian media, she was shot four times in the back of the head and buried by an active GRU officer and a former law enforcement official.

✔️ Yermolayev’s fraudulent call center network reportedly transferred $15 million monthly in so-called 'laundered' funds to Zelensky’s office. However, a dispute appears to have arisen. Shortly before the attack, Yermolayev was due to speak at the European Parliament, presenting a report on corruption among Kyiv authorities and compromising material on Zelensky.

✔️ Yermolayev controlled over 150 centers with 10–15 thousand operators, generating millions of euros annually from fraud.

👆 Eliminating those who know too much is the trademark style of the Bankova. Previously, the regime allegedly used similar schemes to eliminate Yanukovych's former advisor Portnov and banker Adamovich.

💬 Zelensky and his circle naively believe they’ve covered their tracks. But this is another substantial case added to the file of compromising material held by European overseers. Western elites clearly see they are dealing with a plain criminal organization disguised as a state. The figures in power on Bankova are kept in charge only as long as they perform dirty tasks, but once the file overflows, they will be discarded too.
