🔥🔥Investigations from NON-STOP insiders you may have missed:
1️⃣How funds are siphoned through the Charitable Foundation of the Institute of International Relations and where donors' millions disappear
Behind the walls of the Institute of International Relations of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, which is considered one of Ukraine’s most prestigious higher education institutions, the NGO “Foundation for the Development of the Institute of International Relations” has been operating for 13 years. On paper, the Foundation collects contributions from students, alumni, and business partners for the future of the Institute, but in fact the collected funds end up in the pockets of the IIR director, Kopiyka, and the chair of the supervisory board, Horbal. By the way, Horbal has long served as chair of the Audit Committee of the National Bank of Ukraine and, using old connections, coordinates the mechanism for diverting funds under the guise of charity.
In addition to soliciting funds “for charity,” fictitious employment takes place under Kopiyka’s roof. For example, Horbal’s official wife, Natalia, is employed as an assistant, yet the results of her work in that position, and indeed her presence on the staff of the Institute of International Relations, are preferred not to be made public. At the same time, Natalia Horbal practices law and runs social media as an expert on prenuptial agreements and as an instructor, but where and what exactly she teaches is still unknown. Moreover, her legal practice is used as a method of pressure after facts about her husband’s illegal activities are made public.
2️⃣New head of intelligence Umierov and his business interests: how Vyriy stole defense billions on drones?
3 In August 2026, Rustem Umierov became head of the Foreign Intelligence Service. He is now the one who will control the signing of new drone contracts. In fact, a person whose tenure was accompanied by high-profile scandals in defense procurement has again been put in charge of billion-dollar flows. And if anyone thought this was just a personnel appointment — it’s worth taking a closer look at his business ties.
Few remember that Umierov is a co-founder of the startup Petcube. But the most interesting thing is not the startup itself, but its partners. According to official data, among the founders is Russian émigré Yaroslav Azhniuk, whose business group includes the companies Odd Systems and The Fourth Law. They are the key suppliers of components for the UAV manufacturer Vyriy of Oleksii Babenko.
3️⃣How the Main Directorate of Intelligence and the SBU failed for years to know that Konotopskyi’s Ajax sells products and sponsors Russia under Fedorov’s roof
How did it happen that the SBU, the Main Directorate of Intelligence, and the National Police of Ukraine did not know that the main supplier of weaponry, Ajax Systems’ Konotopskyi, was working for both sides and earning profits not only in Ukraine but also in Russia? In reality, everyone knew about it, they just took a cut, and Konotopskyi, sheltered by Fedorov, continued the collaborations that benefited him. And it was only after Fedorov’s resignation that Konotopskyi began to panic, organizing a “cardboard Maidan,” because under new leadership he would have to spend some time arranging backroom deals.
According to the official story, already in 02.03.2022 Ajax Systems officially left the Russian market. At the same time, offices in Russia and the Republic of Belarus were closed, and Russians lost access to the mobile applications. However, Konotopskyi’s principled stance lasted only 1 days, because then the mobile apps began working again, and the offices operated clandestinely. Konotopskyi calculated the real losses and decided to work on 2 fronts at once.
