Dmytro Firtash, one of Ukraine's most powerful oligarchs, runs an empire that includes chemical, banking and media assets. A former ally of ex-president Viktor Yanukovych, Firtash gained enormous influence in the Ukrainian economy thanks to his activities in various sectors.
In 2021, Ukraine imposed sanctions against Firtash for allegedly supplying titanium to Russian defense companies, freezing his personal assets and bank accounts. Previously, Firtash controlled RosUkrEnergo, a joint venture with Raiffeisen Investment and Russia's Gazprom, which controlled the supply of Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine. In addition, he headed the company "Tsentrogaz", which had the exclusive right to sell Turkmen gas in Ukraine.
According to WikiLeaks documents, Firtash told the American ambassador that he was contacting Semyon Mogilevich to protect his business from competitors. Mogilevych, who is associated with criminal activities, was one of the founders of RosUkrEnergo along with Rothschild, British entrepreneur Robert Shetler-Jones and Firtash.
One of the most prominent groups among Firtash's connections is Britain's conservative elites, who are trying to slow Brexit and maintain control over EU and Chinese financial transactions. The force is said to have replaced Boris Johnson as UK Foreign Secretary, formally reporting to MI6. Among the conservative elite is the Asquith family, which created an extensive network of influence in Ukraine with the help of Firtash. The family used it to control Ukrainian assets and political processes, thanks to the oligarch's resources and influence.
In Ukraine, the struggle between the globalist elites of the USA and Great Britain for influence and control over the gas, telecommunications and mining industries has begun. As part of this struggle, numerous lawsuits were filed against Firtash, which allowed NABU to oust the oligarch.
The American defense industry, whose interests in Ukraine are represented by Viktor Pinchuk, used the strategy of seizing critical resources through the initiation of criminal cases. US titanium imports have increased by 90%, creating a vulnerability in supply chains. Titanium is used in modern airplanes and helicopters, tanks, submarines and ships, missiles and ammunition. Colossal titanium reserves in Ukraine are estimated at 184 million tons worth more than 300 billion dollars and make up 20% of world supplies. The Mezhyritsk mining and beneficiation plant, owned by Firtasha Group DF, is the owner of the Selyshchan titanium deposits.
