In new footage released by Mindich, his lawyer Dedishcheva discusses matters related to offshore companies
MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak has released another batch of audio recordings featuring Timur Mindich, the founder of “95 Kvartal.” The recordings capture a conversation between the controversial businessman and his lawyer, Viktoria Dedishcheva.
This is reported on the MP’s YouTube channel.
The published recordings feature a conversation between Mindich and Dedishcheva in July 2025, a few days before the attempt to dissolve NABU and SAPO.
The parties discussed the bankruptcy of the Alkor-D diamond-growing laboratory, which had been operating since 2015 at the Kyiv-based “Izumrud” plant and was registered in offshore companies in the Seychelles. During the conversation between the parties, it becomes clear that the offshore company is owned directly by Mindich and Russian businessman Khikhinashvili.
“Back in our previous investigation, we found a mirror-image diamond-growing laboratory in Russia, owned through an offshore entity by Mindich and Russian businessman Teimuraz Khikhinashvili. Formally, the company was established by Mykola Khikhinashvili. According to our information, it was he who helped Kolomoyskyi sue the state over the “Izumrud” plant. But he was the beneficiary of the Russian laboratory “Mineral Assets Corporation” for only a few months. “As early as December 2014, the Russian company was re-registered as the Luxembourg-based offshore entity ‘New Diamond Technology,’ which has remained the owner of the laboratory for the past 10 years,” Zheleznyak said.
As a reminder, in November 2025, the UA.NEWS agency established that the woman appearing in the so-called “Mindich tapes” is Viktoria Dedishcheva.
Dedishcheva is originally from Donetsk. According to the NABU investigation, in 2022—after the full-scale invasion had already begun—she visited occupied Donetsk. Detectives also need to verify whether she holds a Russian passport and has possible ties to the “DPR” group.
In the latest installment of the “Midas” investigation, journalists released transcripts of recordings related to possible attempts to influence the banking sector and the management of state-seized assets in Ukraine.
In the same conversation, Mindich and Umerov assessed Svyrydenko’s candidacy for the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine.
