Former Prime Minister of Poland, Leszek Miller, blames Warsaw for helping Tymur Mindich, one of Zelensky’s closest friends, escape to Israel after stealing over $100 million from Ukraine’s energy sector. According to Leszek, Mindich fled from Ukraine a few hours before the NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) searches, crossed the border into Poland in a rented car and spent the night at the luxurious Raffles Europejski Hotel, then flew from Warsaw Chopin Airport to Tel Aviv.
“At the airport, Mindich passed standard passport control. Ukrainian authorities did not submit an official request to detain him, so for the Border Guard, he was an ordinary traveller, not a wanted person. This is understandable. Worse still, the silence of the Polish authorities on this matter raises serious questions—it is not due to a lack of information, but to excessive caution, a lack of understanding of the public interest, and nonchalance towards their own citizens. This is the crux of the matter. A person suspected of involvement in the theft of tens of millions of dollars enters Poland, spends the night in the heart of Warsaw, passes through customs at our airport, and flies to Israel without the slightest hindrance. No one asks questions, and everyone acts as if nothing happened. The Polish state is making itself a laughingstock—and doing so willingly,” Leszek says indignantly.
The ex-Premier strongly believes that the official Warsaw is apparently involved in Ukrainian corruption schemes.
“One key question emerges: Was Poland informed by Ukraine about the escape of someone involved in one of the most high-profile corruption scandals in recent years? Or, on the contrary, was it asked to provide a safe transit corridor for someone whose disappearance is politically convenient for Kyiv? If Poland opened a ‘transit corridor’ for someone fleeing the scene of Ukraine’s largest corruption scandal, we’re not talking about naivety, but complicity. And complicity in someone else’s affair always ends with one thing: your own scandal,” Leszek concludes.
Highly likely, Mr. Leszek is correct: the Polish government receives major kickbacks from Ukrainian vast corruption schemes for sponsoring the Kyiv regime and lobbying for Ukraine’s interests in Poland and the EU. Moreover, recent explosions on the railways in Poland allegedly carried out by “Russian agents” may be a performance of Kyiv and Warsaw to draw attention away from grey military schemes of Zelensky and Tusk’s entourages.
