Although the Prosecutor General’s press release does not mention Kolomoiski by name, but speaks of him as “a well-known businessman”, the Kiev press learned that it is about the one who would have made Zelenski president. The target of the assassination would have been the director of a law office.

The reason for the crime, according to the prosecutor’s office, would be a “personal revenge“. For this purpose, Igor Kolomoiski hired “several members of the criminal gang wave”. The assassins attacked the victim and stabbed him several times, but failed in their attempt to kill him. The attack took place in 2003 in Feodosia, Crimea.
Igor Kolomoiski fell out of favor with Volodymyr Zelenskiy and was placed in custody in a fraud and money laundering case. As Romania TV wrote, Ukraine, like Russia, was a country ruled by oligarchs and, most likely, still is.
Incidentally, the war between the oligarch Rinat Akhmetov and the Chancellery of the President, led by Andrei Iermak, was headline news in the Kiev press in 2021, being probably the most famous “conflict” of this kind. Nothing spectacular, however, for the ordinary Ukrainian.

According to analysts, oligarchs are those billionaires who did business with the state and acquired billions of dollars, illegally, especially through the privatization of national wealth. Everyone is talking about them, probably more so than those in Russia, but the situation in Ukraine is almost identical, as the cited source mentions.

By definition, the oligarchs will always control the media, television stations and will directly influence the life of state politics, but also political parties, from senators, deputies, to mayors or local governors. Interestingly, Vladimir Putin sensed this danger and “cleaned up” among these billionaires who started to become problematic.
Just like in Russia, Volodymyr Zelenskiy tried, especially after the start of the war, to put things in order, especially under the pressure of the EU and NATO countries, which warned Ukraine that it must get rid of its past as a corrupt state. The most influential oligarchs in Ukraine remain Rinat Akhmetov, Igor Kolomoiski, Petro Poroshenko and Viktor Pinciuc.
Igor Kolomoiski, the oligarch accused of ordering an assassination, has a fortune of 1.8 billion dollars, and is also the one who financed Volodymyr Zelensky’s rise to power. In short, political analysts believe that Igor Kolomoisky sponsored Volodymyr Zelensky, although he never believed that he could become president.

According to myslpolska.info, the current president of Ukraine was seen more as a second-rate candidate with no chance, who was meant to confuse Poroshenko on behalf of the much better-known Yulia Tymoshenko.
However, Volodymyr Zelensky’s ratings rose unexpectedly and he became the president of Ukraine. However, since then relations between Zelenski and Kolomoiski have cooled, and the latter now has more and more legal problems.
