Earlier this month Ukrainian businessman Tymur Mindich, co-owner of Kvartal 95 the Ukrainian TV production company Volodymyr Zelenskyy founded before he became president, fled the country as the NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) announced results from a widespread corruption probe.
Money given to Ukraine for subsidies was being skimmed from the energy sector by several high-profile government and business officials. The NABU probe and raids on offices to discover document trails of the officials is ongoing.
Today, NABU officials raided the home of Andriy Yermak (pictured left), head of the Office of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Simultaneous with the raid, Zelenskyy announced the firing of Yermak from his office:
“There will be a reset of the Office of the President of Ukraine. The Head of the Office, Andriy Yermak, has submitted his resignation. I am grateful to Andriy for always representing Ukraine’s position on the negotiation track exactly as it should be represented. It has always been a patriotic position. But I want to eliminate any rumors and speculation.” (SOURCE)
As I shared earlier regarding the NABU investigation, I have personally seen these corrupt Ukraine characters (politicians and private sector oligarchs) in action, literally spending tens-of-thousands of U.S. taxpayer funds (in cash) at the Port of Montenegro while I was tracking them in 2023 and 2024. They were staying in massive suites at the Regent Hotel, expensive boats and exotic cars with each. So please, don’t try to sell me on the honorable Ukraine politician schtick.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is worried the Russians will use the corruption story to undermine his government, so he has spent the past two weeks on the phone with his U.K/USA and EU benefactors trying to keep the supportive money flowing while his government officials skim the funds.
However, notice how quiet the U.S. Senate has been on this explosive story about Ukraine officials being caught skimming money. The Senate is quiet because almost two-thirds of the senators are taking money from the laundry operation [LIST HERE].It’s not just Ukraine officials making money from the massive EU/USA funding scheme.
(Via Politico) KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired his top adviser Andriy Yermak on Friday amid a snowballing graft probe.
Yermak has been by the president’s side as the second-most powerful man in Kyiv for years and is a key interlocutor with Ukraine’s Western allies as it resists Russia’s full-scale invasion.
“I am grateful to Andriy for the fact that the Ukrainian position in the negotiation track has always been presented by him exactly as it should be. It has always been a patriotic position. But I want there to be no rumors and speculation,” Zelenskyy said. (read more)
I do indeed realize that this is a wild, wild notion. I wonder if POTUS handled/managed the matter of an alleged assassination team assigned to Owens with the following “deal”: POTUS nor his admin publicly addresses this matter if the French president orders his EU partners re: the Ukraine war to back off and allow a good, solid peace deal to be agreed to between Russia and Ukraine. Stat.
I doubt Zelenskyy will be offed for signing such a deal as he is the son of one of the close friends of the chief oligarch involved in many matters Ukrainian.
While I’m here, I note that both Zelenskyy and Mamdani were both entertainers (one a dancer then actor; the other a rapper). That said, the actor gig (TV series) was likely an operation to prep Z and the country for the puppet president.
include in your list AOC and Justin Trudeau. The puppeteers need actors to fill a role, so it makes sense that they would tap actors and entertainers to run for office.
don’t forget HOWDY DOODY himself….FJB!
At least Howdy was entertaining. I would have gone with Clarabell the Clown.
I can picture Bidumb honking the “Yes/No” bicycle horns. 😆
Comey never did.
Thank you, thank you. We’ll be here all week.
So, was Trump – pageants, Wrestling, Apprentice
By golly, Lolly! You are correct! One important difference, perhaps, being that President Trump seemed not to be chosen by bad actors to advance all manner of malignant agendas.
What is the senate bill # they voted on?
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-passes-aid-package-ukraine-israel-future-uncertain-house-rcna138502
they bundled the money for Ukraine with aid for Taiwan and Israel. The ploy of sneak it through with the “must pass” funding.
Meanwhile FJB was cutting checks from God knows where the money came from.
It came from our trust accounts, the ones managed off-ledger.
Oh yes, I remember that. We were kicking and screaming to keep it out, and they just go ahead and do whatever they want. Never mind us the taxpayers.
Don’t want to disappoint Israel.
Perhaps you’d prefer a fully Islamic Middle East.
Yes, and how would that be worse than the current situation?
What happens if you do? Inquiring minds want to know.
Wondering how Zelensky will cover his own deep pocket dives. He’s got something up his dark, dark sleeves. I’m thinking President Trump and Putin have more than enough to assure a peace agreement.
My money is on his wife applying for asylum in Switzerland, while on their recent visit to check the balances in their numbered accounts.
I was just thinking President Trump is acting like a guy with a whole deck up his sleeve.
And all the skimming is $$$s.
I wonder how many *big guys” were getting ten percent?
<I wonder how many *big guys” were getting ten percent?>
In ‘The Producers’…
It was 11 🙂
Disgusting kickback scheme. Everyone should be prosecuted and sent to prison or exiled. It was good to see that Rubio was not on the list.
rubio gets his from kuba
OK, I concur .. these mendacious senatorial & house prices should be prosecuted for FRAUD! .. So, President Trump .. why aren’t you ripping them ALL a new a$$hole – both on Truth Social ANNND from the White Haus?? State your case to the American Citizenry! Post Haste!
I for one, am sick-n-tired of watching political paint dry…. are you .. YOU .. not Zelenkyii, not Lindsey Graham, not Mark Warner .. up to the challenge?
Mr. Trump, What Say You..
Edit: ‘pricks’ .. not prices; ‘prices’ are what WE .. as LEGAL citizens of this still sovereign nation .. PAY, for this B$ skullduggery!
Because this inane two party government prevents a president from putting his party in a bad light. That will result in retribution down the line and loss of house and senate seats and/or support.
Temper any hopes of fundamental reform in DC. The serpent is fully entangled in it and won’t withdraw short of death.
On this Thanksgiving Weekend I am Thankful, happy, and PROUD that two names NOT on the list in this article are
Britt/R/AL and
Tuberville/R/AL.
Me 2!! The Ohio Senators aren’t either! We may be on to something here too!
Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown is on the list as having voted yea.
I saw that, too. But JD Vance wasn’t on the list. Nor was Ron Johnson or Marco Rubio. (But McConnell and Thune sure were…)
Or Florida’s Scott or MTG or Massie or Paul.
S. Brown was the Ohio Seator that was a “yea”. He was unseated by JDVance ( I think?)
Bernie Moreno unseated bed head Brown.
I suspect the only reason both Indiana senators were NOT on the list is because Banks didn’t get sworn in until 2025.
My state is in need of a serious enema to clear out all its RINOs.
We’re trying, but they are extremely entrenched and have managed to keep non-RINO primary challenges from even making the ballots.
RINO’s and their cozy MIC relationships would be first on my list to suspect.
Rino Young is on the list…neverTrumper
Speaking of INDIANa….I knew before even checking that in my home state of Massachusetts, both the Fake Indian Warren and her lackey Easy Eddie Markey were both YEAs.
No surprise.
Same here in NY!
Both WV Senators Smelly Moore Capito and How Low Will You Go Joe Manchin are on the list. As you know, Manchin is now gone (good riddance).
Smelly Moore Capito is still there. However, Smelly, will not dare go against President Trump now. President Trump appointed her son Moore Capito as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of WV.
Moore Capito was a WV House of Delegate Member in Charleston WV. He then ran for Governor and got smoked. It looks like President Trump played the Art of the Deal political card on Smelly Moore. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t trust her in an outhouse with a mussel on, but I don’t think she will go against anything President Trump wants to do.
Do USA taxpayer ever get any of their money back? USA must have all the bank accounts and the addresses of all the 10 million Euro villas in Europe that have been bought, as well as many very expensive cars.
Everybody who took taxpayer money must have it seized, Civil forfeiture is necessary.
Remember when the Afghan Defense Minister’s son bought a 21 million dollar villa in Beverly Hills.
USA taxpayers and ordinary Ukrainians are chumps.

historically, this is the lot of the little ones: we pay taxes, fight wars, produce goods and face justice as the law says, but the enlightened ones do not-they just keep going with the steal. we have almost a century of that in this country. the world is under the spell of psychopathic deep state and shadow men. PDJT is too real for them, too untainted. so they hate him, you and I for believing we have a way out.
We have seen the light out of the cave. there is no way we go back to darkness. pity those who dabble in the shadows.
Mr. Z knows his end is near. its only a matter of time.
Yes, we the people need to be reimbursed.
I hope there will be billboards with photos of every one of in this fraud : What would it take? Americans asking when do we get all our money back?
Even if Zelenskiiy goes, does that mean the Ukraine war stops?
And if it does stop, what will the war pigs start up next?
Sounds like most rank and file Ukrainians want this to end. Plus two million Ukrainian sunshine warriors have already left their “home country” as soon as the first shots were fired.
I don’t blame them. The CIA was going to throw their lives away for Oligarchy and Empire.
Could any of these fine Senators be involved? How much money does Lindsey need anyway?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/zelenskyy-holds-talks-us-senators-174637607.html
I think they’re all involved in some way, shape or form. Each one trades a yes for a no vote on something else deeply unpopular that screws the American people! They only need a certain number to cross over, so someone else can look good.
even though the $$$$ were skimmed, does The Big Guy still get his 10%?
Pleased to note that neither of my Senators on the list 😃
The corruption everywhere is just so deep and wide.
As expected, both my Senators are on the list. Scumbags that they are.
h shadowy senior senator from California, who tried to beat up DHS Secy Noem, Alex Padilla, is on the list.
Equally repulsive junior senator Adam Schiff is getting I am sure is waiting to get line for his fair share, since he is new to this august body of the US Senate.
Those skimmers need to take a Venezuelan boat ride.
The truth always sees the light of day.
Z’s Monaco Battalion is the most effective unit in the war. They have successfully captured the French Riviera, the Adriatic coast, and the entire luxury car market of Vienna, without suffering a single casualty.
As to congressional oversight, the only thing they are looking over right now is their shoulder.
Does this mean Ukraine loses it title as the most corrupt country in the world to Monaco now? Or does this make them both a tie.
Isn’t funny that the “No Kings” protest people probably support Zelensky, the only one between himself, Trump and Putin that literally cancelled elections to remain in power 🤷♂️
Yes, we are all laughing at the brazen hypocrisy of No Kings. And the poor suckers who got paid to show up.
Just shows us how ignorant they are.
I keep expecting Lindsey Graham’s name to show up.
This is the story no one wants to talk about even Fox. Zelinsky is a corrupt little gloablist puppet and Ukraine is a money laundering cash cow for the globalists in the senate and in the world. I can fully understand why Putin wants to get rid of Ukraine and Zelinsky.
Yeah, why do you think there was immediate and robust bipartisan support for Ukraine when this all started. No Code Pink. No No Blood for Oil. Nobody self immolating. Just support for war. Both sides.
How much money did he have offshore in Panama even before he became Ukraine President – was he not named in the Panama Papers disclosures. Way back when. Who was behind that hack of the Panama accountant’s offices.
Mayhap Elon , DOGE , and data republican can find the money trail . It would put an end to wondering who’s on who’s side ; and hopefully lead to indictments .
Trump Locks Britain Out of Peace: $1 Trillion Deal Shatters the Empire – November 26, 2025Trump is systematically dismantling British imperial control by excluding warmongers from Ukraine peace talks and securing trillion-dollar deals that expose the G20’s irrelevance.

Their podcasts are quite good.
Yes but I drift off listening to them speak. I have to speed up the video to stay tuned in. I do this with Pres, Trumps monologues too.
We’ve only known this for about the last 3 years, all courtesy of the American tax payer.
What about the $800 billion dollar heist going to the teachers unions and K-12 crap education every single year? Who is skimming off that tax-payer raid.
Hope we get answers before April 15, or the nation needs to put their tax payments into an escrow account, until this gets sorted out.
This explains why there are suddenly so many choosing not to run for re-election in Congress. And why Calif Senator Alex Padilla “chose” not to run for governor in California, but stay where the grass has been greener for him. So to speak?
How many pallets of cash have been flown into Ukraine for distribution ?
Several people have been caught with many many suitcases stuffed with stacks of $100 and Euros in the millions in several instances.
This is beyond infuriating that American politicians have been allowed to walk free while receiving U.S. “Aid” kickbacks in the money laundering scheme which is Ukraine and a yard arm as well as a brass projectile is to good for them.
Every single bill that is passed by Congress and the Senate has corrupt financial advantages for them
Time to put our April 15 taxes due to IRS into an escrow account, until this whole mess gets sorted out. Or else we become willing accessories to their continued crimes.
It is legal to defy unlawful orders, so I am told. IRS shakedowns to feed illegal conduct committed in our names as US taxpayers is illegal. Not with my money. The money will be held in escrow IRS, so you will get it ….someday.
THEY “Stand with Ukraine”.
Vladimir Putin is even more popular here than he is in Russia.
In Russia, maybe as high as 80% ?
Here, at least 98%.
Define “here”.
Clowns are pretty popular as well…. Z boy. May I advise a fake news network for you comments? YOu would fit right in over there.

The New Normal
Thanks for pointing out the falseness of what we are continually presented. I remember Sundance pointing out the difference in coverage of the Israel/GAZA war vs the Ukraine/Russia war. The first we were presented with many videos, the second was carefully curated.
The war in Ukraine wasn’t lost on the battlefield. Itt was lost before it began as no one trusted biden, Z, the narrative, or the CIA. Without the genuine trust of the American people, no amount of money or machinery could have saved it.
It’s time to stop pretending this was ever about “freedom.” It was about power, and money.
I hope the Ukrainians are able to extradite the corrupt players.
Forget thinking Ukraine is a “sovereign country”. Its lines were drawn in haste only after the break up of the Soviet Union in the 1990’s. Not worth fighting for and losing even more money over, for some crummy draftsmen errors.
Plus 2 million Ukrainians men immediately left the country when the first shots were fired demanding EU “refugee status”. Ka-ching. The opportunity they had long been waiting for.
Ukraine is not a country . Re-draw the lines. Get out and get gone.
Always wondered when the former USSR fell if the “Russian mafia ” i was always
hearing about what were actually goons from Ukraine.
Anyone can enlighten me?
The war started as a coup by the usual vermin in 2014. US politicians prevented the citizenry from continuing under their chosen leader. With the US and CIA out of the country, the Ukrainians can tend to business.

Where is Linda Graham on that list ?
You can’t tell me he isn’t receiving kickbacks from Ukraine as many times as he has been there.
I have to say for once I find a good thing to say about my Tennessee senators – they aren’t on the list.
Idaho here and unfortunately our senators are on the list.
what are the chances one of these guys with nothing to lose starts releasing receipts of congressman corruption?
So disgusting, so wrong, so DC swamp
played out like this…
(see-eye-a) – one for you, two for me

I’m proud of my Senators from TN as I said, however, my former Rep – Mark Green was in favor of the first $45 Billion to Ukraine. He was also one of the top insider traders trackeds. He even beat Pelosi and Eye Patch Crenshaw. Then to make it worse he quit early in Aug of this year But just before he sponsored and voted for a bill that included funds for some South African country he has a new venture in.
I’m sure he made a lot of money off his defense contractor buddies.
lack of election integrity is the most significant issue of our time, posing an existential threat to our republic
how many times have either of your senators banged the table demanding nationwide free and fair elections
don’t kid yourself, they loathe you, as do the other 98
Yermak has submitted his resignation — Zelensky.
Earlier, Yermak underwent searches. They may be related to his illegal orders to monitor NABU and SAP employees, as well as to the fact that he “seized commercial properties worth hundreds of millions.”

Do We Really Want a Cold War II?

The comment section here is more informative than any other source besides the corresponding article.
How is Lindsey Graham not on that list.
Different revenue stream from the MIC?
Graham gets to vote conservative/MAGA when needed to keep up appearances. This particular bill di not have the US border security provisions that the House wanted, and Uniparty had 70 for this vote, so he gets to vote “no”.
He didn’t stop warmongering and pushing for more aid.
Any bets on what country that……
“……Ukrainian businessman Tymur Mindich, co-owner of Kvartal 95 the Ukrainian TV production company Volodymyr Zelenskyy founded…..”
will flee to and be granted sanctuary……
I’ll take…… Israeli for $500.
I saw a report on the Military Summary Rumble channel a few months ago when there were peace talks going on in Saudi Arabia (was it Riyadh?) that Z ostensibly flew down there to be nearby in case he were to be called in to ink a deal. But he made a little pit stop-over in the UAE to ink a deal on behalf of Ukraine whereby digital money transfers may take place with guarantees of confidentiality. Another aspect of the deal was to allow woman ownership of business start-ups hosted by UAE.
I don’t think Sundance mentioned this highly relevant fact.
Our crooked Congress, in on the theft, voted for this. How much graft comes back to them?
THEY LINED IT UP TO NOT HAVE INSPECTOR GENERAL OVERSIGHT!
This incident is not even in the investigation level, a judge had to uncover the details… 😛
The Coal That Never Arrived: How Centrenergo’s Procurement Scheme Emptied Millions
Centrenergo’s agreement with the little‑known Teplosfera UA exposed a systemic corruption risk in Ukraine’s energy sector. After receiving a 132‑million‑hryvnia advance, the intermediary delivered only a fraction of the contracted coal and provided no real guarantees, despite the contract requiring payment after delivery.
A judge, reviewing the case, discovered that Teplosfera was a one‑employee company that purchased coal from state‑owned producers at the same price it sold to Centrenergo, leaving no commercial logic except extracting the advance. He issued a separate ruling, urging the government to regulate risky intermediary schemes and allow direct coal purchases by state energy companies.
In September 2024, Centrenergo signed an agreement with Teplosfera UA LLC. The company was supposed to supply 33.5 thousand tonnes of coal for the Trypillia and Zmiiv power plants for the heating season.
After receiving a 132-million-hryvnia advance payment, Teplosfera UA disrupted the schedule, delivered only 1.5 thousand tonnes, and did not return the remaining money. Centrenergo then went to court, where it turned out that the issue was much broader than simply dealing with an “unreliable supplier.”
The advance payment was not mandatory. The contract stipulated payment after delivery. Moreover, the company did not provide any real guarantees that could justify a prepayment.
Centrenergo explained the choice of a private company by claiming that state-owned producers allegedly had no coal available. But the judge discovered that Teplosfera UA had been purchasing this very coal from state-owned producers. The intermediary signed contracts with them only after the agreement with Centrenergo — and even after receiving part of the advance. In other words, there were neither safeguards for the money nor guarantees of receiving the coal at all.
The purchase price from the mines was equal to the selling price to Centrenergo. So the judge concluded that there was no commercial logic in this arrangement, and such a setup may indicate an intent to simply appropriate the advance.
The judge classified all this as a systemic deficiency in Centrenergo’s overall operations. Therefore, he issued a separate ruling addressed to the Cabinet of Ministers: to regulate procurement procedures in terms of risks associated with intermediaries and, in particular, to ensure the possibility for state-owned thermal power plants to buy state-produced coal directly, without any “middlemen.”
Sundance: “I have personally seen these corrupt Ukraine characters (politicians and private sector oligarchs) in action, literally spending tens-of-thousands of U.S. taxpayer funds (in cash) at the Port of Montenegro while I was tracking them in 2023 and 2024. ”
Like…who are you man? That’s some heavy stuff, right there. Stay safe.

Which corrupt Ukrainian ministry do I need to join, to be able to afford this?
And it has a $10.00 Home Depot lid?
It might be the $14 soft seat style.

I see a possible toilet tank cover (could be plated). All else only appears to be gold in color. Makes no difference in the circumstances, just an observation from a former jeweler. 😉
It looks like they found it in King Tut’s tomb.
I don’t want to be sitting on the toilet, of any kind, for so long that I would require armrests. Get in, get done, get out. Don’t forget to wash your hands.

Nice speed bump, Herr Merz. ‘Be a shame if something happened to it.
Sundance, thank you for all the revelatory points of interest and startling information you’ve provided through your investigative work on this issue.
I wonder if others notice a strong resemblance between Yermak and Zelenskyy. It’s strong enough that it makes me wonder if they’re actually related.
It would be interesting to know if there’s a family connection between them, but not nearly as interesting as is the silence of the US Senate, which should as a unified body be erupting in bipartisan outrage right about now.
But, as you’ve pointed out, they’re not.
Tick tok…….
