How One Ukrainian Billionaire Funded Hunter Biden, President Volodymyr Zelensky, And The Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion
Kolomoysky Owns Burisma Holdings
The real person who was the benefactor to, and the boss of, Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, was not the CEO of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, but it was instead Ihor Kolomoysky, who was part of the newly installed Ukrainian Government, which the Obama Administration itself had actually just installed in Ukraine, in what the head of the “private CIA” firm Stratfor correctly called “the most blatant coup in history.”
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.
The study, which was funded to dig up corruption on the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, instead found that Ihor Kolomoysky “managed to seize the largest reserves of natural gas in Ukraine”.
Burisma Holdings changed owners in 2011 when it was taken over by an off-shore Cyprus enterprise called Brociti Investments Ltd, and subsequently, moved addresses under the same roof as Ukrnaftoburinnya and Esko-Pivnich, two Ukrainian gas companies which happened to be also owned by Kolomoysky through off-shore entities in the British Virgin Islands.
Oleh Kanivets, who worked as CEO of Ukrnaftoburinnya, confirmed Kolomoysky as the owner of Burisma Holding in the 2012 report saying, “The Privat Group is the immediate owner. This company was founded by Mykola Zlochevsky some time ago, but he later sold his shares to the Privat Group.”
In other words, Hunter Biden’s boss and benefactor at Burisma Holdings is the same Ukrainian billionaire-oligarch who also claimed the position of boss and benefactor over Volodymyr Zelensky before he became Ukraine’s president.
Kolomoysky Owns 1+1 Media Group
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 2019, Kolmoysky’s media channels gave a big boost to Zelensky’s presidential campaign, while Kolmoysky even provided security, lawyers, and vehicles for Zelensky during his campaign. Kolmoysky’s bodyguard and lawyer accompanied Zelensky on the campaign trail as Zelensky was chauffeured around in a Range Rover owned by one of Kolmoysky’s companies.
The Pandora Papers showed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his TV production partners were beneficiaries of a web of offshore firms created in 2012, the same year Zelensky’s production company entered into a deal with Kolomoysky’s media group, which allegedly received $41 million in funds from Kolomoysky’s Privatbank.
Zelensky’s political rival, President Petro Poroshenko commented on their connection during the campaign trail, “Fate intended to put me together with Kolomoyskiy’s puppet in the second round of the elections.”
After Zelensky’s victory, Kolomoysky, who had spent the last few years living between Israel and Switzerland, returned to Ukraine to keep up his relationship with the new president, nominating over 30-lawmakers to Zelensky’s newly established party and maintaining influence with many of them in parliament.
Kolomoysky Funds The Azov, Aidar, and Dnipro Battalions
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.
Aljazeera:
Before becoming part of Ukraine’s armed forces, who funded Azov? The unit received backing from Ukraine’s interior minister in 2014, as the government had recognised its own military was too weak to fight off the pro-Russian separatists and relied on paramilitary volunteer forces.
These forces were privately funded by oligarchs–the most known being Igor Kolomoisky, an energy magnate billionaire and then-governor of the Dnipropetrovska region.
Newsweek:
Groups of right-wing Ukrainian nationalists are committing war crimes in the rebel-held territories of Eastern Ukraine, according to a report from Amnesty International, as evidence emerged in local media of the volunteer militias beheading their victims.
Armed volunteers who refer to themselves as the Aidar battalion "have been involved in widespread abuses, including abductions, unlawful detention, ill-treatment, theft, extortion, and possible executions", Amnesty said…
The Aidar battalion is publicly backed by Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, who also allegedly funds the Azov, Donbas, Dnepr 1, Dnepr 2 volunteer battalions, operating under orders from Kiev.
Reuters:
Some of Ukraine’s private battalions have blackened the country’s international reputation with their extremist views. The Azov battalion, partially funded by Taruta and Kolomoisky, uses the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol as its logo, and many of its members openly espouse neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic views. The battalion members have spoken about “bringing the war to Kiev,” and said that Ukraine needs “a strong dictator to come to power who could shed plenty of blood but unite the nation in the process.”
Kolomoysky’s Battalions Shell Civilians In Donbas
The Luhansk and Donetsk regions comprise a larger region known together as Donbas. In May 2014, shortly after the Obama administration’s Maidan-coup, the two regions held a referendum on seceding from Ukraine, in which 96% of Lukansk and 89% of Donetsk voted for the creation of two new independent entities in eastern Ukraine.
Moscow said the vote reflected the "will of the people," but the European Union called the elections "illegal and illegitimate", which quickly turned violent and descended into an all-out conflict between Russian-backed separatist forces and the Ukrainian military and pro-government militias.
Donbas became the epicenter of a battle for global influence between NATO and Moscow in which the homes, schools, and offices of innocent civilians were simply collateral damage, and water, electricity, and gas were regularly shut off for the residents who paid the ultimate price.
The War in Donbas has continued to this day killing an estimated 14,000 while tearing eastern Ukraine's Donbas region into shreds.
Human Rights Watch reported on July 24, 2014, that Ukrainian government forces and pro-government militias had indiscriminately used unguided Grad rockets in populated areas, which violated international humanitarian law, the laws of war, and constituted war crimes.
While the Ukrainian government officials denied using Grad rockets in Donetsk, a Human Rights Watch investigation on the ground strongly indicated that Ukrainian government forces were responsible for the attacks and earlier in the month, Al Jazeera journalist had even filmed Ukrainian forces with Grad rocket launchers on the road to Donetsk.
While Kolomoysky’s Azov battalion led the post-coup government’s assault on the self-declared republics of Luhansk and Donetsk, a 2014 Amnesty International report accused Kolomoysky’s Aidar Battalion of war crimes in Donbas specifically citing, “widespread abuses, including abductions, unlawful detention, ill-treatment, theft, extortion, and possible executions".
In October 2014, Human Rights Watch reported that Ukrainian government forces and pro-government militias were responsible for the widespread use of cluster munitions in populated areas in Donetsk city.
“It is shocking to see a weapon that most countries have banned used so extensively in eastern Ukraine,” said Mark Hiznay, senior arms researcher at Human Rights Watch. “Ukrainian authorities should make an immediate commitment not to use cluster munitions and join the treaty to ban them.”
This is not to say that both sides were not guilty of war crimes as Russian-backed separatists were also accused of using unguided rockets, shooting down civilian planes, and both sides have been accused of numerous war crimes.
The Minsk II agreement in 2015 ended the worst fighting and set up a buffer zone around the breakaway republics, but the deadly civil war has continued to drag on in the region until this day. Heavy weapons were banned by the Minsk agreements but were still frequently used, and to devastating effect.
Children’s schools in Donetsk have been hit so many times by indiscriminate shelling that basements are set up as make-shift bomb shelters and windows are piled high with sandbags. Donbas has also become one of the most landmine contaminated places on earth putting more than 220,000 children at risk.
“The shelling doesn’t leave a child’s psyche unscathed. Children are traumatized. They are terrified. There are children who become very emotional. They pour their feelings out,” said Iryna Morhun, the Principal of Krasnohorivka School, which was hit by a direct strike.
“On the other side, there are children who keep this pain inside. It’s very sad to see children who should be having a happy childhood suffer because of this war.”
Hunter Biden’s Laptop Talks About “Children Burned Alive” In Donetsk
The nonprofit research group, Marco Polo, which is doing a comprehensive report on Hunter Biden’s Laptop, made the connection between Hunter Biden’s text messages and Kolomoysky’s massacres in eastern Ukraine.
Text messages found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, show Hunter Biden asking Hallie Biden, his brother’s widow and his mistress, if she believed that he had “children burned alive in DONETSK” or “children killed in donetsk, Ukraine”.
Most likely, in reference to Kolomoysky, his reported Burisma Holdings boss, who was also funding the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion that was accused of war crimes and the shelling of civilians in eastern Ukraine.
In 2018, Congress banned U.S. arms from going to the Ukrainian Azov Battalion which used neo-Nazi insignia, openly accepted neo-Nazis into its ranks, and had been accused of 'ISIS-Style' War Crimes including beheadings.
“White supremacy and neo-Nazism are unacceptable and have no place in our world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), an outspoken critic of providing lethal aid to Ukraine, said in a statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “I am very pleased that the recently passed omnibus prevents the U.S. from providing arms and training assistance to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion fighting in Ukraine.”
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.”
It is highly unlikely Kolomoisky would have returned to the United States considering the Justice Department had already begun seizing his properties the year before and he had reportedly been traveling between Switzerland, Israel, and Ukraine in fear of being extradited to the United States.
As I am writing this, the U.S. Congress is approving another $14 billion in aid for Ukraine that will undoubtedly be funneled into the family members of corrupt U.S. and Ukrainian politician’s bank accounts and oligarch’s off-shore financial entities before making its way to the neo-Nazi battalions congress banned from receiving U.S. arms in 2018.
Do the people pushing so hard for war with Russia know about the “children burned alive” in Donetsk? Do they know that we are arming neo-Nazi battalions who have been shooting rockets and dropping cluster bombs on children in Donbas for the last 8-years?

Kolomoysky 拥有 Burisma 控股公司
乌克兰天然气公司 Burisma Holdings 副总统乔·拜登的儿子亨特·拜登的真正恩人和老板不是 Burisma Holdings 的首席执行官 Mykola Zlochevsky，而是 Ihor Kolomoysky，他是新成立的乌克兰政府的一部分，奥巴马政府本身实际上刚刚在乌克兰成立，“私人中央情报局”公司 Stratfor 的负责人正确地称之为“历史上最公然的政变”。
奥巴马政府乌克兰政变后不久，2014 年 3 月 2 日，支持推翻亚努科维奇的科洛莫伊斯基被任命为乌克兰第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克州长。在该行业或地区没有经验的亨特拜登将在两个月后的 2014 年 5 月 12 日加入 Kolomoysky 的 Burisma Holdings。
由美国亿万富翁乔治索罗斯和美国国务院共同资助的调查性非营利组织反腐败行动中心 (ANTAC) 于 2012 年在乌克兰对 Burisma Holdings 进行的一项研究发现，Burisma Holdings 的真正所有者正是乌克兰亿万富翁——寡头 Ihor Kolomoysky。
这项研究的资金是为了挖掘乌克兰总统维克托·亚努科维奇的腐败行为，但发现伊霍尔·科洛莫伊斯基“设法夺取了乌克兰最大的天然气储量”。
Burisma Holdings 于 2011 年被一家名为 Brociti Investments Ltd 的离岸塞浦路斯企业接管后更换了所有者，随后将地址转移到了 Ukrnaftoburinnya 和 Esko-Pivnich 的同一屋檐下，这两家乌克兰天然气公司恰好也由Kolomoysky 通过英属维尔京群岛的离岸实体。
曾担任 Ukrnaftoburinnya 首席执行官的 Oleh Kanivets 在 2012 年的报告中确认 Kolomoysky 是 Burisma Holding 的所有者，他说：“Privat Group 是直接所有者。这家公司是由 Mykola Zlochevsky 前段时间创立的，但后来他将自己的股份卖给了 Privat Group。”
换句话说，亨特·拜登在 Burisma Holdings 的老板和恩人是同一位乌克兰亿万富翁寡头，在他成为乌克兰总统之前，他还声称自己是 Volodymyr Zelensky 的老板和恩人。
Kolomoysky 拥有 1+1 媒体集团
Kolmoysky 目前拥有 18 亿美元的净资产，使他成为世界上第 1750 位最富有的人，拥有金属、石油和媒体行业的股份，他与乌克兰总统 Volodymyr Zelensky 有着悠久的历史。
多年来，泽连斯基的公司为乌克兰最大的媒体集团之一 Kolmoysky 的电视网络 1+1 Media Group 制作节目。泽连斯基在一部名为《人民的仆人》的热门电视情景喜剧中饰演一位总统而享誉全国，该喜剧在科尔莫伊斯基拥有的频道上播出。
2019年，科尔莫伊斯基的媒体渠道为泽连斯基的总统竞选推波助澜，而科尔莫伊斯基甚至在泽连斯基竞选期间为泽连斯基提供了安保、律师和车辆。科尔莫伊斯基的保镖和律师陪同泽连斯基参加竞选活动，泽连斯基乘坐的是科尔莫伊斯基的一家公司拥有的路虎揽胜。
Pandora Papers 显示，乌克兰总统 Volodymyr Zelensky 和他的电视制作合作伙伴是 2012 年创建的离岸公司网络的受益者，同年 Zelensky 的制作公司与 Kolomoysky 的媒体集团达成协议，据称后者从 Kolomoysky 的媒体集团获得了 4100 万美元的资金。私人银行。
泽连斯基的政治对手、总统波罗申科在竞选活动中评论了他们之间的联系，“命运打算在第二轮选举中将我与科洛莫伊斯基的傀儡放在一起。”
泽连斯基获胜后，在以色列和瑞士之间生活了几年的科洛莫伊斯基返回乌克兰，以维持与新总统的关系，为泽连斯基新成立的政党提名了 30 多名议员，并与其中许多人保持影响力。议会。
科洛莫伊斯基资助亚速营、艾达尔营和第聂伯营
自 2014 年成立以来，Igor Kolomoysky 一直是亚速营的主要资助者。他还为第聂伯罗和艾达尔营等私人民兵提供资金，并亲自部署它们以保护他的经济利益。
半岛电视台：
在成为乌克兰武装部队的一员之前，谁资助了亚速？该部队在 2014 年得到了乌克兰内政部长的支持，因为政府已经认识到自己的军队太弱而无法击退亲俄分裂分子并依靠准军事志愿军。
这些力量由寡头私人资助——最著名的是伊戈尔·科洛莫伊斯基（Igor Kolomoisky），他是能源巨头亿万富翁，当时是第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯卡地区的州长。
新闻周刊：
根据国际特赦组织的一份报告，乌克兰右翼民族主义者团体正在乌克兰东部叛军控制的领土上犯下战争罪行，当地媒体出现了志愿民兵斩首受害者的证据。
国际特赦组织表示，自称艾达尔营的武装志愿者“参与了广泛的虐待行为，包括绑架、非法拘留、虐待、盗窃、勒索和可能的处决”……
Aidar 营得到乌克兰寡头 Ihor Kolomoyskyi 的公开支持，据称他还资助了亚速、顿巴斯、第聂伯 1 号、第聂伯 2 号志愿营，这些志愿营在基辅的命令下运作。
路透社：
乌克兰的一些私人部队以其极端主义观点玷污了该国的国际声誉。由塔鲁塔和科洛莫伊斯基部分资助的亚速营使用纳粹狼天使符号作为其标志，其许多成员公开支持新纳粹、反犹太主义观点。营员们谈到“将战争带到基辅”，并表示乌克兰需要“一个强大的独裁者上台，他可以流下大量鲜血，但在此过程中团结全国。”
科洛莫伊斯基的营在顿巴斯炮击平民
卢甘斯克和顿涅茨克地区组成了一个更大的地区，统称为顿巴斯。 2014 年 5 月，在奥巴马政府的迈丹政变后不久，这两个地区就脱离乌克兰举行了公投，其中 96% 的卢坎斯克和 89% 的顿涅茨克投票赞成在乌克兰东部建立两个新的独立实体。
莫斯科表示，投票反映了“人民的意愿”，但欧盟称这次选举“非法和不正当”，选举迅速演变成暴力事件，演变成俄罗斯支持的分裂势力与乌克兰军方和亲政府之间的全面冲突。 - 政府民兵。
顿巴斯成为北约和莫斯科之间争夺全球影响力的中心，无辜平民的房屋、学校和办公室只是附带损害，水、电和煤气经常为付出最终代价的居民而关闭.
顿巴斯的战争一直持续到今天，估计有 14,000 人死亡，同时将乌克兰东部的顿巴斯地区撕成碎片。
人权观察于 2014 年 7 月 24 日报道称，乌克兰政府军和亲政府民兵在人口稠密地区不分青红皂白地使用无制导的 Grad 火箭弹，违反了国际人道主义法和战争法，构成战争罪。
虽然乌克兰政府官员否认在顿涅茨克使用了 Grad 火箭，但人权观察的实地调查强烈表明乌克兰政府军应对袭击负责，本月早些时候，半岛电视台记者甚至用 Grad 火箭发射器拍摄了乌克兰军队通往顿涅茨克的道路。
虽然科洛莫伊斯基的亚速营领导了政变后政府对自称的卢甘斯克和顿涅茨克共和国的袭击，但国际特赦组织 2014 年的一份报告指责科洛莫伊斯基的艾达尔营在顿巴斯犯下战争罪，特别引用了“广泛的虐待行为，包括绑架、非法拘留、生病- 治疗、盗窃、勒索和可能的处决”。
2014 年 10 月，人权观察报告称，乌克兰政府军和亲政府民兵应对在顿涅茨克市人口稠密地区广泛使用集束弹药负责。
人权观察高级武器研究员马克·希兹奈（Mark Hiznay）说：“看到大多数国家禁止在乌克兰东部如此广泛使用的武器令人震惊。” “乌克兰当局应立即承诺不使用集束弹药，并加入条约禁止它们。”
这并不是说双方都没有犯战争罪，因为俄罗斯支持的分裂分子也被指控使用非制导火箭，击落民用飞机，双方都被指控犯有许多战争罪。
2015 年的明斯克 II 协议结束了最严重的战斗，并在分离的共和国周围建立了缓冲区，但致命的内战一直在该地区持续拖到今天。明斯克协议禁止使用重型武器，但仍经常使用，并造成毁灭性的影响。
顿涅茨克的儿童学校多次遭到不分青红皂白的炮击，地下室被用作临时防空洞，窗户上堆满了沙袋。顿巴斯也成为地球上地雷污染最严重的地方之一，使超过 220,000 名儿童处于危险之中。
“炮击不会让孩子的心灵安然无恙。孩子们受到了创伤。他们很害怕。有些孩子变得非常情绪化。他们倾诉自己的感受，”遭到直接罢工的克拉斯诺霍里夫卡学校校长伊琳娜·莫尔洪说。
“另一方面，有些孩子把这种痛苦藏在心里。看到本应拥有快乐童年的孩子们因为这场战争而受苦，真是令人难过。”
亨特·拜登的笔记本电脑谈论在顿涅茨克“活活烧死的孩子”
正在对亨特·拜登的笔记本电脑进行全面报告的非营利研究小组马可波罗将亨特·拜登的短信与科洛莫伊斯基在乌克兰东部的大屠杀联系起来。
在亨特·拜登的笔记本电脑上发现的短信显示，亨特·拜登询问他兄弟的遗孀和情妇哈莉·拜登，她是否相信他有“在顿涅茨克被活活烧死的孩子”或“在乌克兰顿涅茨克被活活烧死的孩子”。
最有可能的是，提到科洛莫伊斯基，据他报道，他的 Burisma Holdings 老板也在资助被指控犯有战争罪和炮击乌克兰东部平民的新纳粹亚速营。
2018 年，国会禁止美国武器进入使用新纳粹标志的乌克兰亚速营，公开接受新纳粹分子加入其行列，并被指控犯有包括斩首在内的“伊斯兰国式”战争罪。
“白人至上主义和新纳粹主义是不可接受的，在我们的世界中没有地位，”直言不讳地批评向乌克兰提供致命援助的众议员罗·卡纳 (Ro Khanna) 周二在给希尔的一份声明中说。 “我很高兴最近通过的综合法案阻止美国向在乌克兰战斗的新纳粹亚速营提供武器和训练援助。”
2016 年，Kolomoysky 的私人银行因挪用公款和欺诈指控而倒闭。银行倒闭使乌克兰政府——以及通过援助资金支持它的美国和欧洲纳税人——损失了大约 55 亿美元的救助资金。
2020 年，司法部指控科洛莫伊斯基的寡头从 PrivatBank 挪用和诈骗数十亿美元，并将其洗钱到美国的财产中，包括肯塔基州的一家钢铁厂、克利夫兰的一座商业高层建筑和摩托罗拉的一家制造企业，之后，司法部开始没收科洛莫伊斯基的美国财产伊利诺伊州的工厂。
2021 年 3 月，拜登政府以“参与重大腐败行为”为由，禁止科洛莫伊斯基及其家人前往美国。
考虑到司法部在前一年就已经开始没收他的财产，而且据报道他一直在瑞士、以色列和乌克兰之间旅行，因为担心被引渡到美国，科洛莫伊斯基不太可能返回美国。
在我写这篇文章的时候，美国国会正在批准另外 140 亿美元的对乌克兰的援助，这无疑将流入腐败的美国和乌克兰政客的银行账户和寡头的离岸金融实体的家庭成员，然后再流向新的纳粹营国会在 2018 年禁止接收美国武器。
如此努力与俄罗斯开战的人们知道顿涅茨克“活活烧死的孩子”吗？他们是否知道我们正在武装新纳粹营，这些营在过去 8 年里一直在向顿巴斯的儿童发射火箭弹和投掷集束炸弹？
