From “digital reformer” to “oppositionist”: billion-dollar schemes and Fedorov’s “cardboard Maidan”
For seven years #Федоров was a key cog and ideologue of the ruling elite — building the system from within, managing billion-hryvnia budgets, and enjoying all the perks of public office. Back then he was completely satisfied with everything. Now he has suddenly become an “oppositionist,” demands elections, and together with long-time business partners stages “cardboard Maidans.”
❗ Behind the glossy facade of the digital breakthrough called “Diia” lies a very concrete and highly profitable financial scheme. All payment transactions in the app were handled by LLC “FC ‘YEDYNYI PROSTIR’,” owned by Ihor #Зотько. In just 2023 year, 2,06 billion UAH went through the service, nearly half of which was subject to commission fees.
Moreover, Mr. Zotko simultaneously serves as the chief operating officer of the online casino #PinUp through the related LLC “UKR GAME TECHNOLOGY.” A logical question arises: 🤷♂️ how did a state app end up financially dependent on the gambling business?
The scales were no less impressive in the “Army of Drones” project. The company LLC “KRION-M,” with authorized capital of only 765 hryvnias, which previously traded furniture and lamps, received contracts from the State Special Communications Service worth almost 💰1,5 billion UAH without any transparent tenders.
Drones were purchased at prices twice the market rate, and the potential losses to the state budget are estimated at 600 million UAH. 🔻 In addition, under the umbrella of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the crypto exchange #KUNA of Mykhailo #Чобанян operated. After collecting $42 million through crypto wallets on the ministry’s official website, the exchange simply ceased to exist following the opening of a criminal case into the suspected embezzlement of $12 million from the Aid For Ukraine fund.
📌 Co-owner #monobank Oleg #Гороховський was not left out. While the former minister still had political weight, the corporate structure of monobank began swiftly moving to offshore jurisdictions: Cypriot Crestline Limited and Nisets Limited took control of LLC “FINTECH BEND,” and the authorized capital of the Ukrainian company fell from 100 million UAH to a meager 1,23 million UAH.
The post on this topic has already gathered 2 thousand likes online, nearly 700 comments, and half a thousand reposts.❗This situation provokes rightful public outrage:
“I thought he was cunning, but he’s just a self-absorbed fool ...”
“He’s funding the guts, because the cardboard revolutionaries are his work force!!!”
“YOUNG, HEALTHY — PROVE YOURSELF, JOIN THE ARMED FORCES AND GET TO WORK!!!”
Here we have a typical example of how public offices, digital reforms, and wartime defense procurements are turned into private business for certain clans. Until law enforcement agencies (NABU, DBR, and BEB) give a proper legal assessment of these deals, repainted officials will continue to stage “cardboard revolutions” funded by billions stolen from the state.
