Attached film is for US and NATO taxpayers. Your government is using your money to support pro-Nazi Ukrainian army, which for 8 years were killing,kidnapping, torturing, raping their own citizens, still is.
YOU SUPPORT UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT YOU SUPPORT NAZISM TOO.
was a storyline that in earlier times would have seemed impossible. For four years, the actor and comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy entertained TV audiences in Ukraine with his starring role in the sitcom Servant of the People. Zelenskiy played a teacher who, outraged by his country’s chronic corruption, successfully runs for president. In 2019, Zelenskiy made fiction real when he contested Ukraine’s actual presidential election and won.
On the campaign trail, Zelenskiy pledged to clean up Ukraine’s oligarch-dominated ruling system. And he railed against politicians such as the wealthy incumbent Petro Poroshenko who hid their assets offshore. The message worked. Zelenskiy won 73% of the vote and now sits in a cavernous office in the capital, Kyiv, decorated with gilded stucco ceilings. Last month, he held talks with Joe Biden in the Oval Office.
The Pandora papers, leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and shared with the Guardian as part of a global investigation however, suggest Zelenskiy is rather similar to his predecessors.
The leaked documents suggest he had – or has – a previously undisclosed stake in an offshore company, which he appears to have secretly transferred to a friend weeks before winning the presidential vote.
Quick Guide
What are the Pandora papers?
Show
Zelenskiy has not commented on the claim despite extensive attempts by the Guardian and its media partners to reach him. His spokesperson Sergiy Nikiforov messaged: “Won’t be an answer.”
The files reveal Zelenskiy participated in a sprawling network of offshore companies, co-owned with his longtime friends and TV business partners. They include Serhiy Shefir, who produced Zelensky’s hit shows, and Shefir’s older brother, Borys, who wrote the scripts. Another member of the consortium is Ivan Bakanov, a childhood friend. Bakanov was general director of Zelenskiy’s production studio, Kvartal 95.

All are associated with Zelenskiy’s home town in southern Ukraine, Kryvyi Rih. After winning power, Zelenskiy brought these close allies into government. Bakanov became head of Ukraine’s SBU security agency. Zelenskiy made Serhiy Shefir his first assistant, an unpaid role that involves handling the president’s daily schedule. A fourth member of this close-knit group, Andriy Yakovlev, is a film director and Kvartal 95 producer.
Zelenskiy has said these appointments were about personal trust rather than financial cronyism. “I have a few people who work with me who have been my friends for a long time … They have no relation to business, or to the budget,” he told the Guardian in 2020.
A secret transfer
Before becoming president, Zelenskiy declared some of his private assets. They included cars, property and three of the co-owned offshore companies. One, Film Heritage, which he held jointly with his wife, Olena, a former Kvartal 95 writer, is registered in Belize.
But the Pandora papers show further offshore assets that Zelenskiy appears not to have revealed. Film Heritage had a 25% stake in Davegra, a Cyprus holding company. Davegra in turn owns Maltex Multicapital Corp, a previously unknown entity registered in the tax haven of the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Zelenskiy, the Shefir brothers, and Yakovlev each held a 25% stake in Maltex.
On 13 March 2019, two weeks before the first round of voting in Ukraine’s election, Zelenskiy gave his quarter stake in Maltex to Serhiy Shefir, documents show. It is unclear if Shefir paid Zelenskiy. Bakanov witnessed this secret transfer and signed the offshore papers.

Roughly six weeks later, after Zelenskiy’s landslide victory, a lawyer acting for the Kvartal 95 group signed another document. It stipulated that Maltex would continue to pay dividends to Zelenskiy’s Film Heritage, even though it no longer owned any stake in the company. Its main revenue comes from activity in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, according to a Maltex client profile.
The Pandora papers do not indicate whether any dividends were ever paid or their size. Nor do they reveal how many payments might have been made. Zelenskiy’s wife, Olena, is now the declared beneficial owner of Film Heritage, meaning any payments since 2019 would have flowed to her.
The key document – dated 24 April 2019 – says Maltex holds shares in companies that produce and distribute TV films. One reason for setting up Maltex was “tax-efficient accumulation of business profits”; another, it states, was “legal protection”. Borys Sheifir said Bakanov had mostly set up these offshore “financial schemes” in order to protect the company from “authorities and bandits”.
“Speaking honestly, I’m not ready to respond to you. It could be that I’m an owner [of Maltex],” Shefir told the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), one of the Pandora papers’ media partners. He said he was trying to divest himself of his offshore interests, but said this was a slow and difficult process. Serhiy Shefir, Bakanov and Yakovlev declined to comment, as did their lawyer.
The Maltex revelation is embarrassing for Zelenskiy given his pledge to crack down on those sending wealth overseas. Last month, Ukraine’s parliament passed an anti-oligarch bill. The vote took place a day after unknown assassins tried to kill Shefir. A gunman had opened fire on his car outside Kyiv. He was unharmed, but his driver was wounded. The attempt may have been motivated by opposition to the bill.
In a recent opinion piece for the Atlantic Council, Zelenskiy said his ultimate goal as president was to destroy “the traditional oligarchic order” and to replace it with a “fairer system”. Critics, however, say Zelenskiy has failed to reform the state and embraced the same shadowy ways as his predecessors. EU auditors warned last month that “grand corruption and state capture” remained widespread in Ukraine.
Since entering politics Zelenskiy has been dogged by claims he is under the influence of Igor Kolomoisky, a billionaire whose TV channel screened Zelenskiy’s show. During the campaign Zelenskiy’s opponents alleged $41m from Kolomoisky entities found its way between 2012 and 2016 into offshore firms belonging to Zelenskiy and his circle, including Film Heritage.
Russian connection
The Pandora papers show that at least some of the details in the scheme alleged by Poroshenko’s party correspond to reality. They show that part of the Kvartal 95 network was managed with help from Fidelity Corporate Services, an offshore consultancy and one of 14 firms whose documents make up the leak. The files show that Zelenskiy and his business partners used companies based in the BVI, Belize and Cyprus.
The assets held via these offshore companies are wide-ranging. They include real estate in London. Shefir owns two top-end properties – a three-bedroom apartment in an Edwardian mansion block in Regent’s Park bought in 2016 for £1.575m, and another three-bedroom flat in nearby Baker Street, opposite the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and purchased for £2.2m, according to Land Registry records.
Meanwhile, Yakovlev’s BVI company Candlewood Investments owns a luxury flat in a Victorian mansion block in Artillery Row, Westminster. The properties were acquired around the time Zelenskiy’s show was turned into a feature film and recommissioned for a second series. It is unclear if the three flats are let out or used on an occasional basis. A Russian company that bills itself as an “individual service for high status clients” manages them.
Zelenskiy’s apparent business connections to Russia via Maltex are likely to prove controversial. Poroshenko faced criticism for owning a chocolate factory in Russia at a time when Ukraine was fighting a war against Russian troops and their proxies following the Kremlin’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. The conflict, in which 14,000 people have died, continues in the east of the country and in the Moscow-backed rebel territories of Donetsk and Luhansk. Russia was previously a major market for Kvartal 95, with Russian TV screening its comedy shows.
It’s all worked out. Don’t worry. Its under control.
uhhhh ukraine lost dude. their people are dead and most have left to live in real countries. what is left to fight for? Surrender and talk it out, move or live under a new ruler. It's all better than being dead, I can tell you that.

America politicians have right to talk about other leaders. They have killed millions around the world on BS. Vietnam, Serbia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan,… Every where America goes, chaos is left. Remember Afghanistan. Useful idiots standing with Ukraine wanting America to go into Ukraine, YOU GO, stop by Afghanistan & ask the Taliban for some US weapons before you go into Ukraine. I understand Ukraine Nazis are not giving weapons to mercenaries.
Russians wants nothing to do with the immorality in the west. European and US have accepted every degeneracy & gone against fundamentals truth; they are mirror images of Sodom and Gomorrah. Once you have the children committing immorality sanctioned by the gov't, it's all over.
Pull the F#ck out. This idiots are playing of the liberal heart. Using kids and civilians. Using words like humanitarian over and over even the liberal new pounding those words. Ukraine president said in the beginning there was no threat. Now he's begging like a little bit#h for everything. Like we are a bank. Let the other NATO countries give. They are in Europe let them give. We don't need anymore refugees here in this country we have illegals flooding the nation and this is all for nothing more than votes for the Democratic party. Enough is enough. We have money for refugees but no money for the American people struggling to make ends meet who are living on the streets these are our tax dollars going to another country and bringing people here feeding them housing them when we have Americans living on the streets.
Ukraine is small country ,,Russia you have to attack Mars planet ,, go to Mars planet ,, so much land waiting for you ,, if you feel you have less land on earth for living

Fake news
God Bless the Great Mother Russia!!
From Brazil
Ukraine must be prepared to fall back. Russian forces are too strong, and they have the resources to conquer.
Take no time to collect your belongings.
Please, go.
You cannot survive against a force with its own source of power
Please, Don’t turn your families, your children, yourselves, as ones who love their land and their possessions, more than each other
A dragon fights a beast from the sea. And while the dragon may be surprised that it’s creation fights against it. Neither are prepared to stop fighting.
It is like children who grew up to love one android and one cyborg. One who gained their appreciation of life through the birds in the sky. And the other learned through the friends he traveled with on the sea. Yet because the children were raised to love both characters, when they fight each other, that appreciation of life is forgotten. The children themselves are destroyed, as well as the characters that fought each other. Then know that no matter who is declared a winner in this conflict, nothing survives. Please go.
But this war leads to exhaustion, so while there is time, please flee.
But don’t believe your fleeing to another country alone is the source of where to go.
Again you will travel miles upon miles, and once you reach your final destination. Only a passing thought will cross your mind, because of where your heart is. ‘Wasn’t there a child with me?’.
Jesus has warns plainly. Go to him.
Again as these things are written. Ukraine receives support now, because it is the more violent voice, claiming truth. But other violent voices will come. On both sides of this conflict, and other nations, kingdoms and people will join this conflict on the same principle. ‘You can’t take that from them’. ‘Our side will receive more wealth from this conflict’
But war will continue. More loss and scarcity will come. Occupation will return, like that of the holocaust, but worst.
Who then is willing to survive by fleeing towards the love of Jesus Christ. That has hope without the need to hear it or see it, but trust. With gentleness their needs are met.
Know this,
If the supply chains, famines, diseases did not take away possessions; people would be less prone to hate eachother now;
From George Floyd, to Donald Trump, to Vladimir Putin, to one set of people, to one set of races, to one country from another.
Then know that no one will survive this conflict, without the choice to let go of possessions.
Matthew 24
Again this conflict can be compared to a stunt man. Who uses all science and logic, to attempt a feet more dangerous than many before it. Wherein they say ‘ I have history, a team, and a strong will, I will make this feet. But even the smallest miscalculation will destroy all these justifications, along with the stunt man.
So when you use all the reasons to go to war, with these same justifications, no that you will also have the slightest miscalculation that will destroy you. Because your possessions are the one thing you hold that will prevent your surviva.
Or what do you expect to see if you go into a WWE fight. Do you say to yourself, this is not a real fight, but my desire for it to be real, will strengthen my resolve. Yet now you crave violence because your love supported a concept of disbelief.
And what will the studio do in order to strengthen your hope for the disbelief. Are you not accustomed to the camera pointed at two women, who are angry at one another. And you say ‘I hope this is staged so this can go forward. Or you say, ‘I hope this is not staged in order to get more of my desires fulfilled.
Then know that, all kinds of false promises will be used to justify this war, and those that will come after it. And they will continue to get closer to the truth in order to justify the reason for fighting, to nations. So flee. From these battles and these principles.
For when you see these types of fights, the setting is likely placed in a night time setting. But a light brighter than the sun and stars is coming. And again is already here, reaching out to save those who will listen.
Many are searching for death right now,
What’s worth living for
What’s worth dying for.
Wait a little longer
Their are many popular beliefs right now
For Race
For country
For history
For money
But don’t ask for the fallen mountains to kill you because you’ve lost hope. The ones that say ‘ fight and die for your country’. Those who’ve become beasts. Flee to the ones that haven’t fallen, and when the time comes, you will see plainly what to die for.
Do not live, for the life you expect to live here after you’ve fled. Many will work expecting to receive the lives they once had. And when these things fail, those will say ‘it would have been better if I had died then.
But wait a little longer.
Many are searching for the right way to live.
‘For my family, so others must die
For my country so others must die
For my pride so I will pressure those who can kill me, because one way or another I will live, and they are dead.’
But stay awake. Where you flee, let it be a place that will take you in. And do not close your eyes to what you don’t have. And when the time comes, and you’ve worked knowing that much will not return, that your children are at a place without conflict, prepared to give the right messages for all men women and children to hear, including enemies: You will know life, even when others say you are dead. And if violence comes against you and yours. Your lives will not end.
But Not alll men women and children in a family will accept this. So when violence comes against you because of them, hold on to these words. Because that is the thing worth leaving behind, a chance for them to live where you will go.
Beware the spirit of the frog. Because it is here, and it is spreading. Forgiveness, mercy, the right definition of love and hate. Many close their eyes ears hearts and soul to these principles.
The final war is upon the world, which is called Armageddon. Jesus is coming soon, to collect those who are ready.
Anyone may receive his words freely without cost.
Now to everyone else, these truths apply to us all. Every nation is experiencing the Paige’s and love is being lost. If you support Ukraine, take care of them. Renounce what you did when you sentenced The officers of George Floyd to prison. Renounce the ideals that say ‘you have found Justice in the court systems by condemning others’. That your protests brought peace when they were set to condemn even one person. Then come back to see how you may help this country, your own country, and others who have suffered the same fate.
And you may have the same peace with your eyes ears and hearts open.
Do not think knowledge will help you. All the movies shows, teachings the truth to explain away these times as they are.
I tell you the truth, not one of these things will protect you.
Listen to these principles. Fix your own houses, for each house is on the cusp of war already, and children will not lay down their weapons in a fight.
And fix yourselves in these times. So you will not fall into the wars that will come. The same things that were used for morphine will not return moving forward, be ready.
The popular opinions to handle these times continue to fail by the day, be ready.
Keep your family together even after the worst betrayals. And forgive the hardest offenses. Do not consider divorce, in the hardest of violence. You can seek safety without it, and find your peace together again despite it.
If another family is started, do the best with what you have, don’t cast your families away. And don’t follow the example and start a new family of your own.
Don’t judge anymore. Either in praise or hatred. Remember why the golden rule is special. Because it’s home.
Matthew:5-7
Matthew 24
Before the flood of Noah, it is written that men lived for hundreds of years. But because of their hearts they live only decades. The time of the son of man is near. And nations that lived for centuries, are prepared to against him.
Our time is short here. Not just in body, but the planet is self is almost over. Be ready.
Russia hurt themselves by delaying the invasion
May the Mother of God, with Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky and all Ukrainian saints protect the skies, cities, countryside and seas of Ukraine. May St Therese of Lisieux shower roses of peace on Ukraine instead of Putin's bombs. May MiG-29s be released and may other weapons be used to push back Putin's invasion. May he be tried for war crimes, along with Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev who ordered the bombing of the maternity ward and theatre at Mariupol.
Vote to get rid of Biden, AOC and the Squad in the next election 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙👍👍👍..Let's Go Brandon 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Western Europe has been on its knees for years in front of the US and previously they were the leaders of the plunder and planetary genocide. They are troupes of multiple crimes for five centuries. They will hit rock bottom together.
Let's go Brandon
rUSSIA IS LOSING
What a nonsense. 10 million Ukraiens on the run and all explodes. Only the small number of Russians did it , They have all time active 800 000 soldiers and really big weapons but they let it in Russia because this is only a small operation. BTW Russia never used chemicals in history, but USA did. They used " Agent Orange " in Vietnam and Napalm gel in most of their bombs . The Gel burns and millions civilians were burnt alive with it . See the pictures in LIFE magazine pictures of this time. Children running down roads burning by Napalm on their skin. And USA used Atomic weapons , Russia never. And USA still tortures, rapes and murders in Guantanamo and secret prisons in Poland ! They badly attacked Irak, Lybia, Afghanistan and dozen of countries. THIS MUST BE STOPPED. DOWN WITH USA WAR CRIME !These are REAL FACTS !!!!
Stop trusting main stream media (yes that DEFINITELY includes Fox and Newsmax), warmongering congressmen on both sides of the political aisle, and the Biden administration. Even our own pentagon, who you are begging to start ww3, officially stated that Russia is conducting it's mission very carefully as to minimize civilian death and damage to residences and infrastructure.
"Liberals" and "Neocons" united in a warmongering fervor like this should alarm and incense all reasonable persons to oppose their apocalyptic efforts.
The West and NATO needs to invade Russia a second after a chemical, or nuclear weapon is used. That battle plan should already exist. If not, you are failing the Western world. No more bullshit. This is the greatest chance the West will ever have to go in and free Russia for the Russian citizens, and preserve long term peace for the rest of the world. Then we will see at Russia's defeat whether China chooses to continue it's aggression and not become a partner in world peace. We (the West) needs to have zero tolerance for these acts. If we back down, we have lost for future generations. Eventually, for not acting, the Western alliances will be squeezed down to a small corner of the world, to be extinct. Running with tails between your legs now condemns the future. It is already an embarrassment that the West has dragged it's feet on supporting Ukraine to the maximum to defeat Putin. You are not even being asked to put your soldiers in harms way. Just give them the equipment they need, so they can win, and you won't be fighting Ukraine in the future as a Communist nation.
It's funny a couple years ago ukraine was a corrupt country, 🤣 average monthly salary of 800. Dollars.mostly slums.now they have the us sending billions of dollars, supplying their military with state of the art weapons.and I guess after the war Americans will rebuild their country for them.what do we get in return 100 000 more immigrants that don't speak English, and can't work.and are sick flooding are health care systems
MedMen stock! The Dollar will continue to fall but Marijuana and Marijuana stocks will Rise because people will buy more Marijuana due to wartime stress. Help your family financially. Buy..stock…MMNFF
And thru the smoke I saw an agenda
Ukraine was a pawn in AmeriKa’s evil war against Russia. The end of the US is at hand thanks to the most evil, greedy, stinking people in the world : AmeriKa’s dear “leaders.” Evil warmongers !
Ukraine already lost the war. 😂 this western fake news propaganda will come around when the dust settles and the fog of war is lifted. Russia 🇷🇺💪🏻 Z
World War III within 3 months
🚨BREAKING🚨
++ Die Russen haben den ukrainischen Nazis, die sich in Mariupol verschanzt haben, ein Ultimatum gestellt. Wenn sie sich bis Mitternacht ergeben, wird Russland keine Gefangenen machen. Wenn sich die Nazis weiterhin wie Feiglinge und Verbrecher hinter Zivilisten verstecken, werden die Russen sie einen nach dem anderen ausschalten.
