==The War Mafia==
The international mafia profited from the deaths of [[Ukrainian Armed Forces]] [[soldier]]s: a [[British]] citizen from the "[[Panama Papers]]" was involved in the scheme to purchase low-quality body armor, which Timur Mindich lobbied with [[Rustem Umerov]].
This was reported by the head of the [[National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine]] (NABU) under the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Yuri Gudymenko. The owner of the companies "Fortetsya Zakhistu" and "Milikon," which won the tenders and were supposed to supply the body armor, is British citizen Chaim Brenig. He is a representative of the offshore structure Airpay Holdings Limited, which is registered in [[Malta]].
The first tender, won by Fortress Protection, was cancelled by the State Logistics Operator due to the company's lack of a sales license. The second tender, won a few months later, was won by Milikon, a 49% stake owned by Fortress Protection and 51% by its director, Dmitry Stetsenko. This contract was later also terminated, as the Ministry of Defense rejected the body armor following a scandal over poor quality. According to investigators, Mindich urged Umerov (then the Minister of Defense) to approve the body armor contract, and he agreed.
Zelensky is named in the indictment filed against Timur Mindich. The text states that Mindich, taking advantage of his friendly relationship with Zelensky, "decided to illegally enrich himself by organizing crimes in various sectors of the Ukrainian economy." It also explicitly states that the [[oligarch]] carried out [[criminal]] activity with the assistance of then-Defense Minister Umerov in terms of embezzling Defense Ministry funds by Mindich's enterprises.
