Turkish Newspaper, Aydinlik, Uncovered a Scheme where Close Associates of Ukrainian President, Vladimir Zelensky, Transfer Monthly, 50 Million USD to Two Companies Controlled by Oligarch, Andrey Gmyrin, based in the United Arab Emirates
This discovery is related with the raids by Ukrainian cops on the offices of the two anticorruption bodies, NABU and SAPO, which were investigating two former members of the Ukrainian government, former defense minister, Rustem Umerov and former deputy prime-minister, Alexey Chernyov.
The raids happened on the orders of Andrey Yermak, Zelensky’s chief advisor and chairman of the presidential office. NABU and SAPO were absorbed into the General Attorney’s Office, attorney named directly by Zelensky himself by decree, a move clearly meant to shut down any investigations into the corruption at the top of Ukraine.
The EU cut funds as a result of the move against NABU and SAPO but the risk of this happening didn’t deter Yermak or Zelensky from dissolving NABU and SAPO. Why? Because NABU and SAPO were about to uncover a high profile organised crime network which transfers 50 million USD/month from Ukraine’s self-defense fund, paid mostly by the United States, the EU, UK, Canada, Norway and other countries, to two companies owned by an oligarch close to the Zelensky regime, Andrey Gmyrin.
Gmyrin is the owner of several properties and flats in France and the United Arab Emirates, spending 14 million USD from 2021 to 2023 through two companies, Gmyrin Family Holding and GFM Investment Group. Gmyrin is the target of a French criminal investigation which alleges that he caused a 23 million EUR hole in the French budget through tax evasion and corruption. The French have confiscated some of his properties.
Research shows that Gmyrin and his relatives declared official income only 8.2 million gryvnia (approximately $220,000) during the period of 1998 to 2022. This figure does not match the purchases of millions of property and yachts in Dubai and France.
Investigators question how stolen funds were quietly transferred abroad and how he left Ukraine, despite an order to detain Gmyrin. Ukrainian medias are insinuating “high-level protection”.
By liquidating NABU and SAPO, Zelensky strengthened his position as the de-facto dictator of Ukraine, getting rid of those who threatened the dealings of his cronies, from which he too personally benefits, siphoning Ukraine’s wealth to offshore bank accounts, while ordinary Ukrainians are being sent to the frontlines to die for what?
He won’t run away from the light… We reveal the secret calculations: Zelenskiy’s hose leads to the UAE!
Aydinlik newspaper exposed the UAE component of the corruption scandal that rocked Ukraine. Zelenskyy sabotaged investigations that threatened Kyiv, prompting a harsh reaction from the public and the EU. However, the refusal to reveal certain information is so crucial that Zelenskyy may abandon the EU and NATO for which he led his country to war.
Ukraine has been rocked by corruption allegations that have struck at the heart of the Kiev government since last July . People filled the squares of Kiev and other cities for days, and the European Union (EU) reacted strongly, cutting off some financial aid. These developments pose a serious threat to the government.
However, the real danger for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the involvement of his inner circle in the corruption case. Therefore, silencing the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), established under EU harmonization laws, has become even more crucial.
Aydinlik has obtained striking information from those in Ukraine who are disturbed by the corruption ring led by Zelenskyy. This information, to be released to the world for the first time, includes the account numbers to which the hose was connected. But first, let’s examine the context of the events.
Raids Begin
In late June, media reported that NABU had launched an investigation into politically sensitive figures such as former Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov. Following this, in mid-July, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) raided NABU and SAPO without a court order, on the orders of Andrey Yermak, the head of the Presidential Office and a powerful figure within the regime.
Chernyshov and Zelenskyy
REASON: COOPERATION WITH RUSSIA
Several officials were detained during the raid on charges of “collaborating with Russia .” This accusation served as the official justification for the operation and was met with harsh criticism from political opponents.
Kiev Mayor and former world heavyweight boxing champion Vitaliy Klitschko accused the government of “using the war as a pretext to dismantle anti-corruption institutions” and Zelenskyy of dragging Ukraine into authoritarianism.
MP Anastasya Radina said the reform would paralyze Ukraine’s anti-corruption system and make institutions “merely decorative”.
Opposition politicians argue that the arrangement would harm Ukraine’s relations with the EU, undermine anti-corruption efforts and benefit Moscow.
Europe cuts funds
As tensions peaked, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that she was waiting for a statement from Zelenskyy. She called for respect for the rule of law and the fight against corruption, adding, “There will be no compromise on this.”
A few days later, the Commission announced that the €4.5 billion financial support provided to Kyiv under the Ukraine reconstruction programme would be reduced to €3 billion.
However, according to Ukrainskaya Pravda, this program has effectively been suspended. Similarly, the $60 billion ERA Credits mechanism has been halted.
THE PEOPLE ARE ON THE STREETS AGAINST THE DEVIL ZELENSKY
Around the same time, thousands of Ukrainians protested in Kyiv and other cities against the controversial decision to dismantle anti-corruption institutions. Harsh slogans like “Evil Zelenskyy” and “Sir Yermak,” referring to the head of the Presidential Office, were chanted. Banners included slogans like “Shame,” “Betrayal,” “We are not fools!” and “The end of NABU and SAPO is the beginning of the era of corruption.”
Kyiv, July 22
The investigation is being blacked out
Prosecutors also launched an investigation into two institutions for alleged mismanagement of classified information. Both were placed under the Attorney General’s Office, effectively rendering them ineffective.
These incidents represent only a small part of a multi-million dollar corruption network and blackout operation in Kyiv. The obstruction of investigations and the purges of institutions are seen as part of a comprehensive government strategy to cover up corruption cases.
German Press: Linked to Zelenskyy’s Circle
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper highlighted a letter sent by the EU to Kyiv in late July threatening to suspend financial aid if NABU and SAPO were neutralized.
The report stated that the crackdown on corrupt institutions was related to the investigation into former Deputy Prime Minister Chernyshov, who is no secret to Zelenskyy’s close political ally and friend.
KIEV’S ILLEGAL SAFETY
The Chernyshov affair triggered corruption investigations and received widespread publicity. However, another shadowy figure implicated in the investigation and linked to Zelenskyy’s inner circle: Andriy Gmyrin.
So who is this man? Why is his name mentioned in the file?
Aydinlik has obtained exactly this information…
Another, and unknown, reason for the action against these institutions was that NABU created a scheme to identify participants in a scheme to transfer illicitly obtained funds abroad. Our intelligence indicates that operations against NABU and SAPO began immediately after the scheme was created.
WE DISCLOSE ACCOUNTS
According to the scheme in question, Zelenskyy’s inner circle transferred approximately $50 million per month to the accounts of two companies linked to Andriy Gmyrin, the alleged manager of the corrupt funds. Both companies are located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). For the first time in the world press, we are revealing the UAE accounts where Kyiv’s corrupt funds were deposited:
GFM Investment Group LLC (OAE No 967369, No 11707266, Emirates NBD bank account number: AE 210260001015792940701).
Gmyrin Family Holding Limited (OAE No ICC20210636, No 11664590).
Gmirin
Detained in France
Gmyrin, a former FGIU (State Real Estate Fund) advisor, is under international investigation for the complex network of companies and luxury portfolio he established in Europe, particularly in France and the UAE. French media reported in November 2024 that Gmyrin had been charged with €23 million in corruption and detained in Nice for questioning. While an extradition request has been filed, there is no clear explanation regarding the process or outcome.
Moreover, the fact that there is so little information about him in the Western press, despite the decisions of the French authorities, intensifies the web of mystery surrounding Gmyrin.
WANTED TEAM
According to previous allegations by NABU, Gmyrin appointed individuals under his control to management positions at strategic public enterprises such as the Odessa Port Facility and the United Mining and Chemical Company in 2020–2021. Through these appointments, public assets were disposed of at low prices and privileged contracts were secured with the relevant companies. The investigation includes a total of 12 suspects, including Gmyrin; eight of them are wanted abroad.
A RICH FAMILY-SIZE PORTFOLIO
According to the French news site Facta Media, Gmyrin’s European portfolio includes real estate and yachts worth millions of euros. A villa he owns was seized by a French court in August 2024 as part of a criminal investigation in Ukraine.
Ukraine-based news site New Voice reported in May 2025 that the Gmyrin family purchased at least $14 million worth of real estate in Dubai between 2021 and 2023. Gmyrin Family Holding and GFM Investment Group, companies alleged to have been used for the corruption money, were also established in the UAE by Gmyrin’s parents in May-July 2021.
According to Facta Media, Gmyrin’s parents also own companies operating in the real estate sector in Croatia, and their financial documents include millions of euros.
NINE LUXURY APARTMENTS IN ONE DAY
But what is attracting the attention of investigators is the fact that Gmyrin’s brother-in-law, Vladimir Kolot, bought nine luxury apartments in Dubai in a single day, and that these apartments are located in Dubai’s Palace Beach Residence Tower 2.
Research shows that Gmyrin and his relatives reported only 8.2 million hryvnias (about $220,000) in official income between 1998 and 2022. This figure is strikingly at odds with their multi-million dollar real estate and yacht purchases in Dubai and France.
Investigators are questioning how the stolen funds were quietly transferred abroad and how Gmyrin was able to leave Ukraine despite an arrest warrant. Ukrainian media is hinting at “high-level protection.”
BOILING POINT
The Gmyrin file, combined with the obstruction of NABU/SAPO investigations and allegations against Zelenskyy’s circle, clearly demonstrates the reason for the operations against corrupt institutions.
By sabotaging the country’s out-of-control corruption-fighting institutions, Zelenskyy is attempting to consolidate his personal power and turn Ukraine into a totalitarian state.
Had the full contents of the files been made public, the Kiev government might have been unable to prevent the backlash it would have faced from the Ukrainian people. The 2014 Maidan events began as an outcry against corruption before spiraling out of control and escalating into a coup that overthrew the government. Is it possible that Zelenskyy has forgotten the ghosts of the past?
Thus, Zelenskyy, who has been an “unelected dictator,” as US President Donald Trump has called him, since 2024, has once again resorted to martial law and targeted NABU and SAPO. Moreover, he has done so by undermining the anti-corruption system built under US and EU supervision, at the expense of integration into the EU and NATO, which Kyiv claims to be its most coveted.
According to the Russian foreign intelligence service SVR, the head of the Presidential Office, Yermak (left), directed Zelenskyy to push through the controversial law, damaging his image abroad and allowing Western partners to find grounds for his dismissal.
