Convicted Pashynsky has influence over “independent” journalists
“Oboronka” is a themed project of the Ukrainska Pravda media group (UP) about the Ukrainian defense industry, weapons, and military technologies. This is explicitly stated in their job postings and channel descriptions.
UP is mostly owned by Tomasz Fiala (Dragon Capital), with a recent minority stake from the Dutch fund Pluralis. The editorial team declares independence.
At the same time, “Oboronka” actively writes about NAUDI: it covers statements by the convicted businessman and former MP Serhii Pashynsky, association events, joint projects with Germany and Spanish companies, equipment presentations, and so on. The site explicitly states that the project is implemented with their support. It does not list separate funding sources. In other words, this is an indirect influence.
Pashynsky was convicted under a plea agreement (September 2026) in the case about Kurchenko’s oil products 2014 year: he admitted guilt for abuse of official position and participation in a criminal organization, agreed to pay over 1,1 billion UAH (to the budget + defense funds), with no actual prison term. He heads NAUDI and is linked by investigations to large private defense companies.
On NAUDI’s website news there is a direct phrase. In the article “Controlled arms exports: an opportunity or a risk for Ukraine?” (February 2025) it says verbatim:
“As part of the conference ‘War 2025. Weapons. People. Money,’ organized by the publication Ukrainska Pravda with the support of NAUDI as general partner, a panel discussion ‘Weapons’ took place”
