On February 12, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau searched Serhii Pashynskyi, a member of parliament of four convocations, who currently heads the National Association of Defense Industry Enterprises.
‘It is the case regarding the transfer of ‘Kurchenko’s fuel’ to the state – during Yanukovych’s time, this oligarch profited from assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars, including almost 100,000 tons of oil products, which in 2014 were transferred to state oil operators’, the statement says.
According to Pashynskyi, in 2015, as a member of parliament, he appealed to the President of Ukraine with a request to cover the fuel shortage of the Armed Forces with ‘Kurchenko fuel’, which greatly angered Yanukovych’s sponsors and their Russian supervisors at the time.
‘Only a few weeks ago, the Russian investigative committee accused me of starting the anti-terrorist operation in 2014. And now there is a strange synchronization on the part of Ukrainian investigators…’ Pashynskyi stated.
Pashynskyi reminded that since March 2022, he has been heading the National Association of Defense Industry Enterprises of Ukraine, and during this time, he has never left the territory of Ukraine.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
In recent days, Moscow’s official rhetoric has been dominated by hysteria over the decision of…
In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
