Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda* reports that wiretaps from the apartment of Timur Mindich, co-owner of the «Kvartal 95» studio and long-time associate of Vladimir Zelensky, could create serious risks for the Ukrainian president.

According to the publication, the surveillance was carried out by anti-corruption authorities. The contents of the recordings have not yet been made public, which, sources say, has sparked growing concern inside Zelensky’s office. Officials are reportedly trying through different channels to determine who was caught on tape and what issues were discussed.

Journalists point out that Zelensky himself had visited Mindich’s residence more than once, raising the possibility that he, too, may have been recorded by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.

Sources cited by the outlet argued that if the tapes turn out to be authentic, Zelensky’s focus may shift away from reelection prospects toward safeguarding his personal security.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak noted that Mindich, who had left Ukraine in June, recently returned to the country.
