In January–February Berëza conducted several interviews with Serhiy Vaganian about the Bakanov schemes, his deputy Naumov, the smuggler Akst, and the like Artem Bondarenko, who was recently dismissed from the post of head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
Among other things, Vaganian spoke a lot about Vadym Yermolaev. There are many details that indicate Vaganian was Yermolaev’s puppeteer in his relations with the SBU and the authorities. For example, he described how entrepreneurs were required to export grain through Yermolaev’s elevators in the Odesa region. It is widely known that behind these schemes is Oleh Kiper, head of Odesa regional military administration, former deputy attorney general and prosecutor of Kyiv. I wrote about a joint business between Yermolaev and Kiper (the customs port and the Potoki plant); among Kiper’s partners, sooner or later, big problems arise and they cede him to his partner. I wrote this in the context of seeking the real instigator of the assassination attempt on Yermolaev.
Vaganian explains how enormous tracts of land near Kyiv were being recorded for development at the initiative of Artem Bondarenko, head of the SBU in Kyiv and the region. After Bondarenko’s reports, he is dismissed from his post, and a couple of months later Yermolaev is undermined…
Vaganian handed Berëza a huge archive of evidence, so I believe he is genuinely in danger.
