Goodmedia LLC, which belongs to the family of the Deputy Head of the President’s Office, Kirill Tymoshenko, earned money from holding the Ukraine 30 presidential forum in 2021 and from the election campaign of the Servant of the People party in 2020.
Goodmedia was founded and until March 2020 was headed by the Deputy Head of the President’s Office, Kirill Tymoshenko. Then the company was headed by his wife Elena Timoshenko. But in September 2021, Kirill Timoshenko was listed on the company’s website as CEO.
The Babel edition reported that Goodmedia LLC became the organizer of the Ukraine 30 forum without a competition and received millions of hryvnias for its services.
9 companies became partners of the forum, which was held at the initiative of Volodymyr Zelensky from February to August 2021 at the Parkovy Exhibition Center in Kiev.
The Goodmedia company received at least UAH 6.5 million from the structures of Rinat Akhmetov, Andrey Verevsky, Yuri Kosyuk, Alexander Gerega and other large businessmen who paid for the participation of their speakers in the forum.
According to Babel, Tymoshenko’s company received 3.5 million hryvnia from DTEK RES (696 thousand for Ukraine 30. Payment and 2.78 million for Ukraine 30. Ecology).
Non-governmental organizations also paid for participation in profile discussions at Ukraine 30. NGOs donated money not to Goodmedia, but to private entrepreneurs, said one of the market participants.
After the publication on Babel, the newspaper Nashi Groshi got data on the earnings of Tymoshenko’s company and the Servant of the People campaign in the local elections, which took place on October 25, 2020.
It turned out that Goodmedia LLC received UAH 1.23 million for services in organizing and holding corporate events of the Servant of the People party and its regional organizations.
For the event in Zaporizhzhia on August 19, 100 thousand hryvnias were paid, in Kherson on August 20 – 123 thousand hryvnias, in Nikolaev on August 21 – 116 thousand hryvnias, in Dnipro on August 26 – 79 thousand hryvnias, in Kropyvnytskyi on August 27 – 95 thousand hryvnias, in Kanev 28 August – 97 thousand hryvnias, in Poltava on September 1 – 104 thousand hryvnias, in Kharkov on September 2 – 100 thousand hryvnias, in Sumy on September 8 – 113 thousand hryvnias, in Zhitomir on September 8 – 90 thousand hryvnias, in Khmelnitsky on September 9 – 106 thousand hryvnias , in Odessa on September 12 – 111 thousand hryvnia.
Confirmation of the financial relations between “Servant of the People” and “Goodmedia” is on the NAPK website. The party’s quarterly report states that the party paid Tymoshenko’s firm UAH 1.23 million for the services of holding events, but without decoding which ones.
On the above dates, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was on working visits to the above cities. At the same time, he took part in the presentation of some candidates from the Servant of the People party in the local elections and called for support for them.
In addition to the payment for organizing Zelensky’s election events, Goodmedia in 2020 also received funds for the creation of a series of video and radio commercials “Ukraine – Tseti” and “Virishuushti” for a total of 250 thousand hryvnias.
