And they discussed the rescue of Zelensky&#8217;s godfather, Oleksiy Chernyshov, and about that famous pledge from the communal fund. That&#8217;s why we are waiting for the meeting. There are more and more questions,&#8221; the people&#8217;s representative added.<\/p>\n<p> Subsequently, Honcharenko informed that he had also summoned former Minister of Defense, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Rustem Umerov to a meeting of the commission to testify in the Midas case, and published a scanned copy of the official document on the summons.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I am summoning Umerov to the TSC meeting on May 13! Yesterday, Umerov stated from the rostrum that there is no need to politicize the matter. And today we already have new tapes where Mindich gives orders to Umerov when he was the Minister of Defense! Mr. Umerov, no one is politicizing anything here, but is figuring out how it happened that when you were the minister of a key ministry during the war, you had meetings and conversations with Timur Mindich. There are a lot of questions. So come to the commission,&#8221; wrote People&#8217;s Deputy Oleksiy Honcharenko.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, Ukrainska Pravda <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/1387836\/\">has published a new part of audio recordings<\/a> that, according to journalists, were made by NABU as part of the Midas case. These are conversations recorded in the summer of 2025 in the apartment of businessman Timur Mindich, who is called a defendant in the energy corruption case.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The head of the temporary investigative commission of the Verkhovna Rada on anti-corruption issues, Oleksiy Honcharenko, summoned former first assistant to the president, Serhiy Shefir, to a meeting of the commission to give testimony in the &#8220;Midas&#8221; case.
