What is known about Veselyi?
- Earlier, "Ukrainska Pravda" reported that, in the "Mindich tapes," Vesely discussed with Oleksandr Tsukerman—a key figure in the "Mindichgate" scandal—how exactly to gain control over Ukraine's largest petrochemical company, "Karpatnaftohim."
The recordings also indicate that the composition of the supervisory board of the state-owned "Sens Bank," appointed on June 18, 2025, had been discussed more than a month earlier by individuals involved in the "Midas" case. In a phone conversation on May 9, 2025, Vasyl Veselyi—an advisor to the head of Sens Bank, whom UP’s sources referred to as the "overseer" from the Office of the President—read out a list of preferred members for the bank’s supervisory board.
Earlier, media outlets reported that the SSU had detained Vasyl Veselyi.
