130 000 FOR A MONTH. FOR AN APARTMENT. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL STOLAR MOCK UKRAINE?
Part 1
✔️This is how much Vadym Stolar pays in Monaco. It comes to one and a half million euros a year. For the walls. Without furniture, without water, without electricity.
While you read this line, NABU is removing documents from his Kyiv house.
And Stolar himself has long been abroad. For the third time since the start of the full-scale war. And while you finish this paragraph, he is finishing his morning coffee with a view of the Mediterranean.
One question. How much longer will this keep going unpunished for him?
Morning 19 of August. Searches. And an empty house.
NABU and the SAP entered Stolar’s address as part of an operation with the bizarre name Forrest Gump. The second part of the operation is called Themis. Together this is the largest anti-corruption attack on the Office of the President during Zelensky’s entire term.
Who is involved besides Stolar? Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the Office of the President. She was dismissed the same day. Maksym Mykytas, former head of Ukrbud. Olena Ferens, deputy minister of justice. Mykola Hladyshenko and Oleh Stupak, top management of the state Sens Bank.
✔️The scheme, as described by Kyiv Independent. One hundred fifty million hryvnias were run through Sens Bank to post bail for Herman Halushchenko. The same former energy minister who is a key figure in the Midas case about Energoatom.
Brussels Signal adds a second line. A raider group forged documents, hacked Ministry of Justice registries, and in 2025 seized assets worth more than two hundred forty-eight million hryvnias.
And now the worst part. On one of NABU’s tapes a voice says a phrase worth reading twice.
Corruption needs to be systematized.
Who says this has not been officially named yet. But listen carefully when the leak appears in full. You will recognize the voice.
And now attention. When investigators entered with the search, Stolar was no longer in Kyiv. The circumstances of his border crossing are, as always, being established.
Who, at forty-six, under search and on the verge of suspicion, manages to casually cross the border? Right. Someone who was warned. Or someone who simply never stopped living there.
✔️11 months on Cap-Ferrat. While Ukraine was burying its children.
August 2022. Half a year since the start of the full-scale war. The Monaco outlet News.mc publishes an article titled “Ukrainian businessmen are replacing Russian oligarchs in Monaco.”
The text times the tracking of Stolar’s white Mercedes. The car runs between Monaco and Cape Saint-Jean–Cap-Ferrat. That is the cape called the most expensive square kilometer of land in the world.
On that cape a villa with thirteen bedrooms. The former residence of Belgian King Leopold II. In 2019 it was bought by Rinat Akhmetov for two hundred million euros. And it is there, according to Monaco journalists, that Stolar lived. Rented from a Russian banker who holds the property on behalf of Akhmetov.
Months when Stolar went there. From 24 February 2022 to 12 January 2023. Eleven months. All that time the Verkhovna Rada system marked him absent from sessions.
✔️Eleven months of martial law. Eleven months while Ukrainian cities buried their children. At the same time you were learning how to stop bleeding.
And how many official convictions does Stolar have for all this?
None.
Kyiv Post already in 2019 called him “the de facto mayor of Kyiv.” Kyiv Independent in 2026 repeated it and added “the gray cardinal of the capital.” The party trajectory of this “servant of the people”: Our Ukraine, Party of Regions, Poroshenko, OPZZh, now Restoration of Ukraine. One man, all political eras. He is not a politician. He is a cornerstone.
And now stop and think.
You just read about Cap-Ferrat, about Forrest Gump, and about the phrase on systematizing corruption.
But you still do not know the address in Monaco. You still do not know the legal entity through which Stolar prepared his escape for years. You still do not know how much money he has in Dominica. And you do not know which Bollywood star is renting him a penthouse for a million dollars a year.
