Ukrainian businessman Ihor Kolomoiskyi was informed of another suspicion – the organization of a contract killing.
According to the investigation, the businessman, for the purpose of personal revenge, ordered the murder of the director of one of the legal companies for failure to comply with the requirements to annul and invalidate the decisions of the general meeting of shareholders of the open joint-stock company.
The prosecutor’s office notes that for this he involved gang members who specialize in committing such crimes.
The members of the gang attacked the director, hit him and stabbed. According to the investigation, the director was not killed for reasons that did not depend on the will of the gang members.
The suspected businessman is in custody. Prosecutors and investigators carry out urgent investigative and procedural actions aimed at exposing all persons involved in the commission of the crime.
On September 2, 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Bureau of Economic Security, notified Ihor Kolomoiskyi of suspicion under two criminal articles.
According to the law enforcement, during 2013-2020, Kolomoiskyi legalized more than half a billion hryvnias by withdrawing funds abroad. For this, he used controlled by him banks.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
