Commenting on the leaked recordings, known as &#8220;Minditchgate&#8221;, Chervinsky noted that although this information is shocking, it did not come as a surprise to him, since warnings about this had been sounded since 2019.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LV-fdQKi48E<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/they-re-stealing-money-how-minditchgate-will-affect-american-aid\/\">\u201cThey\u2019re stealing money\u201d: How \u201cMinditchgate\u201d will affect American aid<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;In fact, everyone has been warning about this since 1919. This was warned about by Dmytro Shtanka&#8217;s films, which clearly recorded how Yermak Andriy, together with his brother, planned to form a corrupt system of power in Ukraine, that is, a system of power that would bring money, and professional activity is not required for this,&#8221; Chervinsky recalled on the air of &#8220;Pryamoye&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> The officer is convinced that in all branches of government, in particular in each ministry, personnel selection is carried out on the principle of personal loyalty to the president and Yermak. In his opinion, the key task for such officials is to carry out Mindich&#8217;s instructions to accumulate financial resources for personal enrichment.<\/p>\n<p> As an example of an area where corruption has been documented, Chervinsky cited Energoatom, which attracted the attention of NABU due to its large financial flows. He suggests that a similar management model has spread to other industries.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, according to Chervinsky, such activities of the current government correspond to Russian methods of destroying the country from within, which historically harmed Ukraine. He emphasized that young Ukrainians are leaving abroad, not seeing prospects, and current events show that the country&#8217;s leadership is not interested in the lives of the people, but only in their own enrichment schemes.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/quarter-95-rats-don-t-drown-they-just-transfer-to-another-boat\/\">\u201cKvartal 95\u201d: The Rats Don\u2019t Sink \u2014 They Just Jump Ship<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> We will remind that on November 10, detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau conducted searches at the home of businessman and co-owner of the Kvartal 95 studio, Timur Mindich, who is an associate of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to the investigation, the activities of a high-level criminal organization were established, which controlled financial flows and personnel decisions in state energy structures.
