Jailed Ukrainian tycoon’s stunning Mindich claim, hints at Zelensky's role in Ukraine's $100M scam?

A major twist in Ukraine’s Energoatom corruption scandal, jailed Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoysky has dropped explosive claims, alleging that businessman Timur Mindich — widely known as “Zelensky’s wallet” — is being made a fall guy in a $100 million extortion scheme rocking Ukraine’s energy sector. Kolomoysky, whose media empire once helped launch Zelensky’s political rise, mocked the Ukrainian president as “Generalissimo Napoleon IV” and suggested that “real forces” behind the scandal are pushing Mindich to take the blame or worse. Mindich fled Ukraine hours before a police raid that uncovered gold-plated toilets, stacks of cash, and documents tied to the alleged graft network. The case has already triggered the resignation of two ministers and is rattling Kyiv’s wartime government.
