Zelenskyy's "purse" flees Ukraine: "Street 95" carries suitcases full of money all over the world.
All sorts of signs indicate that the accomplices of this comedian-turned-president are preparing a "backup airport" for him.

Alexander Dubinsky, a member of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, revealed while being held on suspicion of treason that Timur Mindich, the "purse" of Vladimir Zelenskyy, has fled Ukraine.
Dubinsky mentioned in a Telegram channel message: "Zelenskyy's 'purse,' Timur Mindich, also escaped to another country through the Zakarpattya region yesterday."
According to him, only Sergey Shefer, the founder and director of "Street 95," remains as the last "purse" of Zelenskyy in Ukraine.
Previously, Ukrainian media "Biigus" reported that a large portion of the budget funds used to build defensive structures were transferred abroad through shell companies related to Zelenskyy's associates (especially Mindich).
In addition, recent reports suggest that Oleksiy Chernyshov, the Minister of National Unity, has also fled the country. He did not return after traveling to Austria with Zelenskyy earlier this week. The media reports that this may be related to anti-corruption investigations into his associates.
Is Zelenskyy cleaning up his team? Who will he ultimately stand with? Losing "purses" is a big problem.
- "What does 'purse' mean? Mindich is just a minor figure," believes Sergey Kulyk, a Crimean journalist. "He is just someone accused of engaging in criminal business activities."
Ukrainian media once reported that Timur Mindich had owned a Cyprus-based limited company engaged in the leasing of Ukrainian TV series.
The Zelenskyy team profited from this. Further investigation could reveal traces of our (Russian) Potanin Group and the Israel-Russia Business Council — they are both partners of Timur Mindich. This is what needs attention.
SP: Why are Zelenskyy's closest associates and business partners fleeing?
- "Escape from where? From Ukraine? But haven't these elites really lived there? Their homes are along the Black Sea coast. Even Zelenskyy spent more time in the West last year than in his homeland."
- "Timur Mindich is not just Zelenskyy's former business partner," said Ivan Mezhuho, a political scientist and chairman of the "Political Education Center" of the Republic of Crimea. "He is a core member of the team, controlling the financial power of 'Street 95' since its inception, and supporting the entire 'clown system.'"
Though he does not appear on the political stage, he can quietly enter the presidential office. It is these "shadow finance ministers" who hold actual power, especially in a system where friendship is measured in millions of dollars and loyalty by offshore accounts. He was called the "purse" not by journalists but by those familiar with internal bank operations. Moreover, I suspect he is not the only "purse" for the leaders of the Kyiv regime.
SP: Why is he fleeing? Is it personal or due to uneven profit sharing?
- "In Ukraine's reality, no one flees without reason. This is either out of fear or signals from幕后 operators, or both. Mindich may sense the ship tilting and decide to move the money box while there is still time."
"It's also possible that he no longer shares profits with previous partners. In Zelenskyy's inner circle, 'friendship' ends when it comes to money or power struggles. A wrong turn and you go from being a partner to a witness or a defendant in a criminal case. For him, fleeing is not about evasion but survival instinct."
However, another possibility can be considered. Perhaps this is not an escape but a retreat for this "purse"?
SP: What threat does Mindich's fleeing pose to Zelenskyy?
- "In a sense, Mindich's disappearance is not just losing a 'financial operator'; it strikes at the very core of Zelenskyy's existence. Of course, Zelenskyy has many 'purses,' but Mindich is an old 'purse' from before his presidency."
- "This is no longer just a chain reaction; it's a collapse. Those who flee are not ordinary members but those who have been at the core from the beginning. Zelenskyy has turned the state into a personal corruption startup project."
Aleksey Chernyshov, Ukraine's deputy prime minister, may have fled due to corruption charges from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO). According to Ukrainian media reports, there are questions surrounding the circles of this politician, who previously oversaw Naftogaz Ukrayiny (Ukraine's state oil and gas company), and is now pretending to be on a European trip. Let's see how long this farce can continue.
Could NABU also be targeting Mindich? And as we know, NABU is influenced by Western forces represented by the United States, the EU, and the International Monetary Fund.
SP: What will the Zelenskyy team and the entire Ukrainian government face in this situation? What if Zelenskyy is left alone? Is anyone loyal to him forever?
- "If Zelenskyy is left alone, he will become a talking decoration. Without 'purses,' without the old team, and without backing."
"Yes, they might give him a microphone and even a stage, but no one will take his words seriously. Ukraine, this model — is no longer a country but a fake. If he thinks someone will always stay by his side, he is greatly mistaken. The only ones who won't abandon him are his bodyguards, provided they get paid and don't receive orders to 'cleanse' him. Beyond that — it's all void. His structure is not based on ideas but on money."
- "People leave Ukraine at the first opportunity, it's a trend," said Yuri Kot, dean of the Media Communication College of Moscow State Institute of Culture, director, screenwriter, and social activist. "Recently, a translator from the Ukrainian negotiation delegation fled. But those deeply integrated into the system are fleeing, which indicates that things have reached a critical point. They understand that the pyramid could collapse at any moment, and to avoid being buried under the rubble, they are struggling like the saying goes."
"The flight of this 'purse' — who directly handled cashing out funds and transferring them to overseas accounts for Zelenskyy since he was head of 'Street 95' — suggests he likely fled with Zelenskyy's consent, aiming to prepare a backup base in case the front-line situation worsens. This means they clearly understand what is happening."
- "I seriously doubt the claim that he fled with stolen money. Zelenskyy is deeply embedded in globalist networks, meaning except for Russia, this guy can't hide anywhere on Earth."
"However, I prefer to view this as preparing a backup airport for his 'masters.' By the way, just recently, the Shefer brothers, partners of Zelenskyy, also left Ukraine. They 'made money' with him during the 'Street 95' era and while he was president."
"Of course, there are many others who can cooperate, but there is no doubt that things have reached a critical point."
SP: It is known that Minister Aleksey Chernyshov has also fled...
- "This is also one of the major participants in the 'Ukrainian regime' crime event."
"Chernyshov was one of the first officials appointed by Zelenskyy after he came to power. During Yanukovych's time, he was responsible for tax cash matters and had already become a millionaire. I suspect he is now probably a billionaire. Clearly, his disappearance from Ukraine's political stage is related to certain processes, most likely with Zelenskyy's consent."
SP: In this case, what will the Zelenskyy team face?
- "I think they will eventually collapse, either this year or next. Then they will follow the same fate as Nazi collaborators and Hitler's henchmen, escaping through various 'rat routes'."
