The owners of five Telegram channels that participated in the attack on anti-corruption agencies have been revealed.
This is stated in an article by MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak, reports Censor.NET.
Details
The investigation concerns five Telegram channels: INSIDER UA, Ukraine Now, Real War, Ukraine Online, and Times of Ukraine.
"We focused on those which, according to experts, were most actively involved in the dirtiest media attack on anti-corruption bodies and the most cynical defence of corrupt officials, including those involved in the Minidgate scandal," the parliamentarian said.
Experts estimate the cost of a single commissioned publication on such Telegram channels at around $2-4 thousand. If it is a political commission, it is more expensive.
Times of Ukraine and Ukraine Online
Zhelezniak, citing sources, says that these channels have two co-owners: Oleh Arutyunyan and Bohdan Tymoshchuk.
Arutyunyan's official income, says the MP, is in no way consistent with a successful business.
"In 2024, his record year, he officially earned just over half a million for the entire year," he added.
Tymoshchuk received an income of 2.5 million hryvnias last year.
INSIDER UA

After the start of the full-scale war, his income increased almost 40 times.
Ukraine Now
40-year-old Viacheslav Mishalov from Dnipro. He was wealthy even before he launched or bought the channel.
He owns companies in the real estate sector.
Even after the start of the full-scale war, he continues to visit resorts abroad.
The real war
According to sources, it allegedly belongs to 31-year-old Vadym Klymovets from the Volyn region.
