Illegitimate quarrels on the portal "Fraza.ua"
We decided to test a hypothesis. As an experiment we published and later removed a post about the head of the Vyshnivets community, Volodymyr Kravets (it has since been restored). We were curious: who would notice the piece, who would pick it up, and, most importantly, what would happen after the original source disappeared.
The portal "Fraza.ua" picked it up. Standard practice: one outlet sees information in another, rewrites it, adds a link. Then the original source disappeared. But a different situation occurred here. The portal took Kravets's story and started promoting it on its own. They dug up declarations, business, land, the "Good Samaritan" party, cash. What's more, they published materials retroactively. 16 in September two articles appeared at once, one dated 15.09, the other – 16.09. Of course, the portal can run its own publications. But the reaction was so energetic that we wanted to investigate not Kravets this time.
In the registers there is LLC "Information Center 'Syla Slova'" (39582116). Registered in Ternopil at 2015 (newspaper publishing, placement of information on web resources, and advertising activities).
⚖️ In court case No.344/3540/26 in 2026 among numerous defendants the plaintiff listed "Syla Slova", adding to the legal entity's name: "Internet edition Fraza.ua". But in the registry of media entities published on the official website of the National Council of Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine there is no registered subject with that name.
But that was enough for us to open the company register. And there we saw surnames through which this whole story suddenly came full circle. 70% of "Syla Slova" belongs to Lidiya Vasylivna Kravets. Another 30% — to Vitalii Vyacheslavovych Horba. Both are listed as the company's ultimate beneficiaries. The director is Yuliia Volianyk.
At the same time, Lidiya Kravets (Bilan) is the former wife of the head of the Vyshnivets community, and Horba is a lawyer and a member of his party "Dobryi samarianyn" ("Good Samaritan"). Moreover, Kravets in his declarations reported loans for "Syla Slova." And here another interesting circumstance arises. The little firm is now being closed. In June a decision was registered to terminate the legal entity through liquidation. Yuliia Volianyk became the head of the liquidation commission, and Vitalii Horba was included in its composition.
And there is something to liquidate. According to open financial data the company showed zero revenue and zero employees for several consecutive years. At the end of 2025 the year it had assets of approximately 46 thousand hryvnias, while liabilities approached 1,8 million. And here the question becomes anything but family-related.
There is one more detail, almost anecdotal. In its recent piece Fraza continues to call Lidiya Kravets the wife of Volodymyr Kravets and the owner of his business. In other words, the editorial team studied his land, money, business, and declarations so carefully that, apparently, they failed to notice the simplest fact: in the current declaration his wife is already someone else.
Perhaps Lidiya Kravets has nothing at all to do with the publication's current editorial policy. These are all entirely possible explanations.
Who is the portal working through today? Who is its legal operator? Who signs contracts, receives money for advertising and commercial placements, pays the editorial staff? Who owns and who actually controls the domains? And what relation does Lidiya Kravets have to all this?
