Today, I am publicly designating former Ukrainian public official Ihor Kolomoyskyy ineligible for entry into the United States for his corrupt actions that undermine the rule of law in Ukraine. The United States remains #UnitedAgainstCorruption with our partners in Ukraine.

You’re not allowed to remember this.
Everything we have been saying was admitted on Radio Free Europe though.
It was well known in Ukraine that Zelensky was the puppet of the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky who is also the patron of Azov Battalion. Kolomoisky can’t even travel to the United States because of corruption.
In case you were wondering …
“The Ukrainian oligarch whom the Biden administration banned from the United States this month previously had overlapping financial interests with President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, according to government documents and earlier news reports.
Igor Kolomoisky, a Ukrainian billionaire known for hardball actions against competing companies, is a former government official in Ukraine and also used to be an owner of one of that nation’s largest financial institutions, PrivatBank. …
Connections at a Glance
Among the indirect connections between Kolomoisky and the younger Biden:
Kolomoisky had a “controlling interest” in Burisma Holdings, the New York Post reported. Burisma employed Hunter Biden as a board member for a widely reported salary of $50,000 per month. Russian media, quoted in State Department emails, referred to Burisma as “part of Kolomoisky’s financial empire.”
Kolomoisky publicly said in 2019 that he refused to cooperate with efforts by President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to get his help in investigating Hunter Biden and Burisma—and potentially Joe Biden, multiple news outlets reported. House Democrats’ impeachment report on Trump also cited the incident in late 2019.
Emails from 2015, published last year by the New York Post, show a Kolomoisky protege communicated with Hunter Biden about a meeting between the protege and Joe Biden, then vice president under President Barack Obama.
Court filings from 2019 by a private investigatory firm allege that legally obtained bank records of Hunter Biden show payments to him from the Kolomoisky-owned PrivatBank. …
D&A Investigations, a private firm, said it legally obtained Hunter Biden’s bank records showing payments from Kolomoisky’s PrivatBank, among others, Fox News reported.
The firm’s court filing says bank records “provide the source and destination bank account numbers of Burisma Holdings Limited, PrivatBank, Bank of China, [Hunter Biden’s] business partners, Rosemont Seneca Bohai,” and others. …”
Don’t ask any uncomfortable questions about this.
“Shortly after the Obama Administration’s Ukrainian coup, on March 2, 2014, Kolomoysky, who supported Yanukovych’s overthrow, was appointed the governor of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Hunter Biden, with no experience in the industry or region, would join Kolomoysky’s Burisma Holdings two months later on May 12, 2014.
A 2012 study of Burisma Holdings done in Ukraine by the AntiCorruption Action Centre (ANTAC), an investigative nonprofit co-funded by American billionaire George Soros and the U.S. State Department, found that the true owner of Burisma Holdings was none other than Ukrainian billionaire-oligarch Ihor Kolomoysky. …
Igor Kolomoysky has been a top funder of the Azov Battalion since it was formed in 2014. He has also bankrolled private militias like the Dnipro and Aidar Battalions and has personally deployed them to protect his financial interests. …
Kolmoysky, who currently holds a net worth of $1.8 billion making him the 1750th richest person in the world, owns holdings in metal, petroleum, and the media sector, where he has had a long history with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
For years, Zelensky’s company produced shows for Kolmoysky’s TV network, 1+1 Media Group, one of the largest media conglomerates in Ukraine. Zelensky achieved national fame portraying a president on a hit television sitcom called, Servant of the People, which was broadcasted on a channel owned by Kolmoysky …
In 2016, Kolomoysky’s Privatbank collapsed amid accusations of embezzlement and fraud. The bank failure cost the Ukrainian government — and by extension the American and European taxpayers who propped it up with aid funds — about $5.5 billion in a bailout.
In 2020, the Justice Department moved to seize Kolomoysky’s U.S. properties after accusing the oligarch of embezzling and defrauding billions of dollars from PrivatBank and laundering it into American properties, including a steel plant in Kentucky, a commercial high rise in Cleveland, and a Motorola manufacturing plant in Illinois. …
In March 2021, the Biden administration barred Kolomoisky and members of his family from traveling to the United States because of “involvement in significant acts of corruption.”
So, Kolomoisky is the financial backer of the Azov Battalion, which is armed by Israel? Sure, it sounds weird, but no more weird than OUR GREATEST ALLY’s special relationship with ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria.
“Israeli arms are being sent to a heavily armed neo-Nazi militia in Ukraine, The Electronic Intifada has learned.
Azov Battalion online propaganda shows Israeli-licensed Tavor rifles in the fascist group’s hands, while Israeli human rights activists have protested arms sales to Ukraine on the basis that weapons might end up with anti-Semitic militias.
In a letter “about licenses for Ukraine” obtained by The Electronic Intifada, the Israeli defense ministry’s arms export agency says they are “careful to grant licenses” to arms exporters “in full coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other government entities.”
The 26 June letter was sent in reply to Israeli lawyer Eitay Mack who had written a detailed request demanding Israel end all military aid to the country.
Azov’s official status in the Ukrainian armed forces means it cannot be verified that “Israeli weapons and training” are not being used “by anti-Semitic or neo-Nazi soldiers,” Mack and 35 other human rights activists wrote.
They had written that Ukrainian armed forces use rifles made in Israel “and are trained by Israelis,” according to reports in the country.
The head of the Israeli arms export agency declined to deny the reports, or to even discuss cancellation of the weapons licenses, citing “security” concerns.
But Racheli Chen, the head of the agency, confirmed to Mack she had “carefully read your letter,” which detailed the fascist nature of Azov and the reports of Israeli arms and training.
Both the defense ministry letter and Mack’s original request can be read in the original Hebrew below. …”
This whole situation stinks.
It would take years to investigate and unravel all the threads here.
If you don’t agree with the US Bolsheviks you are the enemy of the regime. It’s that simple.
Think I’ll just let this one sit here …

(“Ukrainian President Asked Biden Not to Sanction Abramovich, to Facilitate Peace Talks—Russian oligarch, facing sanctions, is trying to be go-between with Russian President Vladimir Putin”)
I’m guessing it’s “Cover Your Ass” by Blinkensteinwitzburg. Trying to distance as much as possible. This guy is probably Epstein Island alumni. Good catch on this.
“Coach Red Pil” (Gonzalo Lira) claimed on Black Pidgeon Speaks podcast yesterday that The Daily Beast is trying to get him murdered by Zelenskyy’s goons by doxxing his location in Karkiv. CRP has been a strong critic of the NATO-Zelenskyy regime, and has spoken favorably about how Russia has gone about their “Special Military Operation.” That has made him a target to be eliminated by both leftist media and judeo-Ukrainian forces and mercenaries.
Bingo. Yes there is much concern for the safety of Gonzalo Lira, whose reports from Kharkov have been quite excellent. Kolomoisky is safely away in Switzerland, having escaped around the same time twenty planeloads of Jewligarchs and minions departed. The jackass trolls here scream about how not wanting to have white men fly to Country 404 to kill Russians for Kolomoisky is somehow advocating brother killing brother but say nothing about the fact that the white boys in the Azov battalion and similar groups have been killing their fellow whites – including about 10,000 civilians – for eight solid years at the behest of Jew gangstas. Funny how that works….
The leader of the supposedly extreme right-wing and anti-semitic group Right Sector was given the Hero of Ukraine medal from zelenskyy, before the Russians invaded. Sounds pretty suspicious.
