Compromat
Populist of the day
In his first days in office, Kyrylo was nominated for Populist of the Day by the Anti-Populist Facebook community.
He was awarded this title because of his promise to move the Presidential Administration from Bankova Street by the end of the year. The obstacle in this case is not only security, but also the cost of the idea. The move would require tens of thousands of dollars from the budget.
The Parkovy Congress Center was considered as one of the possible locations. However, it would have been necessary to pay rent for staying there at the expense of taxpayers.
The war against Shariy
Tymoshenko’s name has once again “shone” on the horizon of Ukrainian politics. The name is the same, the person is different. Kyrylo Vladlenovych Tymoshenko. A simple guy from Dnipro (coincidence?). A journalist who rose to the position of deputy head of the Presidential Office and curator of the country’s information policy.
I expressed my attitude to this “politician” a long time ago. The scandal with the humanitarian aid from China, the May 9 rally in Odesa, and the familiar but tired name of Kirill Vladlenovich pops up everywhere.
But Kyrylo Vladlenovych is a clever man, just like the entire production center “The President’s Office”. He figured out how to turn his own defeats into victories. He decided to slander his competitors. But not with his own hands. There is no need to get his own hands dirty.
Telegram channel Secrets of a deputy
Attacks on the authorities. Leaks from MPs from the Servant of the People. Reposts by Anatoliy and Olga Shariy. Isn’t this an interesting post? And here is a drug addict, a gambling addict, and a bad person in general. It’s very plausible.
Kirill Vladlenovich is a smart man. But perhaps not very far-sighted. Don’t be like Kirill Vladlenovich.
To become a master, a politician pretends to be a servant (c) Charles de Gaulle.
Fake drain
In August 2019, the news that Andriy Bohdan was resigning from his post appeared on the Internet. At the time, it turned out to be a fake. Journalists found out who leaked the false information. It turned out to be Kyrylo Tymoshenko.
Later, Kirill said in an interview that he had downloaded the image of his boss’s resignation letter from the Internet, or rather, from Channel 24. When the media asked him for a comment, he “just sent everyone this statement that he had downloaded from the Internet”.
An influence group in the president’s entourage
According to Bihus.info, Kyrylo Tymoshenko was a member of one of the groups of influence around the president, called “Dyadya”. In the correspondence of Tymoshenko’s staff, Tymoshenko is mentioned as a member of the “Uncle” group. According to journalists, this group was led by Andriy Bohdan.
Personnel purges and Tymoshenko
Media reports suggest that Kyrylo Tymoshenko is involved in personnel purges in top political circles. It is rumored that Tymoshenko is interested in the resignation of Vladyslav Krykliy, the Minister of Infrastructure. According to the source, Tymoshenko was interested in Krykliy’s resignation and even lobbied to freeze funding for the construction of the Dnipro airport in order to “knock” him off the post.
The Tyshchenko scandal
In April 2021, Mykola Tyshchenko of the Servant of the People party got into a scandal involving violations of quarantine regulations. He allegedly threw a party for his wife’s birthday. Kyrylo Tymoshenko spoke about the incident.
“I hope that this will be an example for other MPs that if you are an MP, you do not need to make yourself a king,” Tymoshenko commented.
Wrong license plates
As Bihus.Info journalists found out, Tymoshenko uses fake license plates on her car. The journalists recorded how, after the congress of the Servant of the People party, the deputy head of the Presidential Office got into her car, which was not registered with her license plates. Moreover, according to the Main Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are not registered in any database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Tymoshenko’s real license plates were “revealed” immediately after he bought a new BMW in 2019, when he was still driving his “native” license plates for some time. According to the authors of the material, Tymoshenko is not provided with “cover” license plates.
M. Novikova: member of “Ukrop” evaded military service
Ukrainian politics is a world of lies and paradoxes for the voter’s brain. One of the most absurd news is that a member of the “Ukrop” party is evading military service. His name is Kyrylo Vladlenovych Tymoshenko, a member of the most militant party in Ukraine, which has built its rating on war.
Tymoshenko was drafted, like tens of thousands of Ukrainians, into the army. According to the law. To defend the country for real, not in words or on Facebook, as he does most of the time in his life. This member of the patriotic party “Ukrop” made a deal with the military enlistment office, provided a fictitious medical certificate of health, some money, and now he is “not fit”.
Zaporizhzhia residents have a new “owner” — from the deputy head of the Presidential Office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko
In recent months, one of Zaporizhzhia’s small businessmen has practically declared himself the “new Anisimov,” i.e. the new overseer of Zaporizhzhia region. He became especially active after the local elections, when his patron in Kyiv, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, rose even higher in the hierarchy, taking the position of first deputy of the Presidential Office.
Vemir Davityan from Zaporizhzhia is really little known even in the narrow circle of large and medium-sized Zaporizhzhia businessmen. The fact is that the young man has not only never been a public figure, but has never been involved in serious business, let alone built any serious business. He had ties to David Arahamia.
Through Arahamia, Vemir Davityan met the then deputy head of the Presidential Administration, Kyrylo Tymoshenko. Their acquaintance was also accompanied by friendly gatherings in Davityan’s office, joint lunches and dinners, gifts to the official, etc.
Until recently, Kyrylo Tymoshenko was in charge of the Big Construction program. But after the failed local elections for the “servants”, he was appointed to be in charge of the government’s regional policy, and Tymoshenko moved from the chair of the “ordinary” deputy head of the OP to the chair of the first deputy head. In particular, by appointing governors and other high-ranking officials.
This is where Vemir Davityan took full advantage of his acquaintance.
Initially, when the process of selecting a chairman was stalled in the Zaporizhzhia Regional Council, it was Davityan who organized the arrival of Kyrylo Tymoshenko in Zaporizhzhia: from renting a plane to providing his motorcade of SUVs and an office in the Eco Tower business center on Festivalna Street. It was from there that Tymoshenko tried to “manage” the difficult situation in the regional council.
A little later, Vemir Davityan “drove up” to Kyrylo Tymoshenko with a proposal for the candidacy of the new Zaporizhzhia governor. The comical thing about this story is that Vemir Davityan himself not only did not have a suitable candidate, but could not even recruit anyone for the job. Again, because he has no authority among Zaporizhzhia politicians and businessmen.
Now, the “new Anisimov” is actively meeting with Zaporizhzhia businessmen, especially from the construction sector, saying that he should now be subject to kickbacks of 20-30%, even for previously won tenders.
As arguments, Davityan mentions both his “roof” in Dnipro (a familiar criminal authority, Oleksandr Petrovsky, nicknamed “Narik”) and another one, the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration, Kyrylo Tymoshenko. And also, the alleged direct subordination of local security forces to him.
How Kyrylo Tymoshenko is “growing” at the expense of Zelenskyy’s rating
Kyrylo Tymoshenko shamelessly enjoys the president’s trust and is increasing his apparatus weight on Bankova Street by leaps and bounds. And the president is losing his rating in proportion.
A striking failure was the arrival of the AN-225 Mriya transport aircraft from China in April 2020 with a medical cargo, which was personally met by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krykliy, Chief Medical Officer Viktor Liashko and other officials, including Tymoshenko’s deputy head of the Presidential Administration, who was responsible for the information support of such a landmark event in the era of the global coronavirus pandemic that had just begun.
“Our Mriya brought to Ukraine 12 million masks for both hospitals and pharmacy chains, about 260,000 protective goggles for doctors and more than 100,000 protective suits of the 5th level of protection,” Zelensky solemnly announced at the time. However, the positive PR abruptly turned negative when the details of Mriya’s arrival home became known very soon. It turned out that this flight from China was paid for by Epicenter, whose CEO Petro Mykhailyshyn admitted that part of the cargo was indeed intended for sale in their hypermarket chain.
Here, the one who made the puncture, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, had to justify himself. But no one believed his excuses.
Everyone was waiting for the president to make an appropriate personnel decision about who was to blame, but it never happened.
Because he was forgiven for such a PR failure. Already in June 2020, the chief PR officer of the Presidential Administration became the head of the Coordination Council for the implementation of the Big Construction program… And very quickly, Tymoshenko took control of the multibillion-dollar flows allocated from the state budget (in particular, from the “covid fund”) for the repair and construction of roads, as well as other upgrades to Ukraine’s outdated infrastructure.
He was assisted in this by his old henchman, a well-known “state manager” in narrow circles, Yuriy Holyk and the then head of Ukravtodor, Oleksandr Kubrakov (the same one who is now the new Minister of Infrastructure), who together contributed to the creation of the notorious “road cartel.”
It was when, according to former Finance Minister Ihor Umansky, “from the very start of the ‘Big Construction’, changes were made to the requirements for tender documentation, and by a strange coincidence, only six companies — favorites of fate — met the new requirements.”
However, even after a series of such scandalous “big construction” revelations, Tymoshenko’s position on Bankova Street did not shake, but only strengthened — he became responsible for regional policy in the Presidential Administration.
The scandal with domestic PCR tests
The scandal with domestic PCR tests was limited to the news and there have been no official comments from the “customer” so far…
In late April, Secretary of the Coordination Council for Countering the Spread of COVID-19 Kyrylo Tymoshenko announced the start of production of PCR tests in Ukraine. He spoke about the purchase of about 600 thousand tests.
The Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health recognized the Ukrainian PCR tests for coronavirus purchased by the President’s Office as unreliable. This is stated in a letter from the Center to the country’s Chief Medical Officer.
— “According to the results of the verification of the one-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction methodology using the Detection Kit for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) RNA (PCR-Fluorescence Probing) test system manufactured by Ukrgentech LLC… this system was found to be unverified,” the letter reads.
During the inspection, it turned out that the sensitivity and specificity of the test system, to put it mildly, does not correspond to the values declared by the manufacturer.
Health Minister Maksym Stepanov later also clarified that the PCR tests are produced by the Ukrainian company Ukrgentech.
To make it completely clear, as the Center’s letter suggests, the three tests taken for verification, in which the same samples were placed, showed the following:
Sensitivity — 50%, 20% and 100%, while the manufacturer’s claim is 96%!
Specificity — 78.6%, 60% and 70%, while the manufacturer’s claim was 99.3%…
I promised not to show emotions, so I will only say that with the same success these tests can be used to check even early pregnancy…

Resume.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko instantly became a household name when he entered politics. Using Poroshenko’s methods, spreading fake news and misinforming the people, he undermines the president’s authority and gets the most out of it. Unfortunately, because of people like Tymoshenko, people are forced to accept the information that is favorable to Tymoshenko.
