The information presented below confirms the participation of each of the listed individuals in the Derkach tapes disinformation campaign, demonstrates the connection between them, as well as the coordinated nature of their actions.
On January 11, 2021, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a number of Ukrainian politicians and civil servants for interfering in the US presidential elections by spreading disinformation.
The decision concerned the individuals involved in the publication, legitimization and distribution of the disinformation concerning so-called “Derkach tapes”, in which allegedly Joe Biden and Petro Poroshenko discuss issues of Ukrainian politics and raise the topic of Burisma.
Members of Ukrainian parliament Andriy Derkach and Olexandr Dubinsky, ex-MP Olexandr Onishchenko, former prosecutor Kostiantyn Kulik and former employee of the US Embassy in Ukraine Andriy Telizhenko, as well as a number of Andriy Derkach’s media managers were sanctioned for participating in the Derkach tapes special operation.
In August 2020, InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community published an investigation which listed evidence showing that the Derkach tapes were a RUSSIAN SPECIAL OPERATION to interfere in the 2020 US presidential elections.
A number of individuals took part in this disinformation campaign. This was an organized group of pro-Russian TV hosts, top bloggers, politicians and media owners, Ukrainian citizens who were effectively acting in the interests of Russia. Their concerted actions to disclose, lend legitimacy and promote the Derkach tapes in the prime-time news constituted a special operation in the media sphere.
Moreover, their further statements in SUPPORT of Trump by declaring the vote count in the US elections to be dishonest and false underscored their systemic disinformation activity and its true purpose to destabilize the situation in the United States, which has already cost the lives of several American citizens.
This campaign was CLEARLY AIMED at two main target audiences: The first was the Ukrainian government, which was directly called upon to start an investigation into the so-called “Biden tapes”. An investigation of this kind could have affected the ratings of one of the US presidential candidates in the 2020 elections.
The second target audience was the US citizens who should have rejected the candidate in question, having received negative messages about him.
We are publishing here an indicative list of key individuals involved in the concerted effort to legitimize and disseminate the Derkach tapes, who have not yet been targeted by US sanctions:
1-Anatoly Shariy, a pro-Russian politician and established YouTube blogger, a frequent guest on pro-Russian channels, most of which are now under sanctions in Ukraine, together with his wife Olha Shariy, also a popular YouTube blogger, who took an active part in legitimization scheme of the Derkach tapes and in the delivery of the relevant content to the target audiences in the USA.
2-Taras Kozak, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, nominee owner of Viktor Medvedchuk’s assets (already under US sanctions). He is the nominee owner of three pro-Russian TV channels in Ukraine. In February 2021, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, acting on the decision of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, enacted personal sanctions against Kozak and against the channels belonging to him. These channels were actively used to disseminate and lend legitimacy to the stories about the Derkach tapes.
3-Oksana Marchenko, the wife of Viktor Medvedchuk, a pro-Russian politician (already under US sanctions), nominee owner of a significant part of his assets, including media.
4-Andriy Portnov, former First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration under Viktor Yanukovych, one of the main lobbyists against the development of anti-corruption infrastructure in Ukraine. Portnov is a frequent speaker of a number of pro-Russian channels, most of which are now under sanctions in Ukraine, He is also the architect of the legal argumentation scheme under the Derkach tapes.
5-Ihor Kolomoisky, Ukrainian oligarch who bought a number of assets in the United States to launder the cash withdrawn from Ukraine. Kolomoisky is the beneficial owner of the 1+1 channel (a minority stake in it is held by the aforementioned Viktor Medvedchuk), has direct influence on Olexandr Dubinsky (already under the US sanctions).
6- Nazar Diorditsa, anchor of several pro-Russian channels in Ukraine, took an active part in the legitimization scheme of the Derkach tapes.
**A content analysis of Shariy’s YouTube channel clearly shows that he took active interest in Burisma even before the publication of the Derkach tapes. Thus, back in December 2019, Shariy released a video digest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OGbl7ZFPdg) with segments from the stories of One America News channel where he focused on vouching for Paul Manafort and spoke out negatively about the situation with Burisma. Apparently, Shariy amplified the topic with his video, because it received about 600,000 views, while similar stories on the One America News had an average of 150-180,000 views.

It doesn’t make sense.
Why would Russia want to help America?

KYIV. Nov 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian members of parliament have demanded the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump, investigate suspicions of the legalization of $7.4 billion by the “family” of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych through the American investment fund Franklin Templeton Investments, which they said has ties to the U.S. Democratic Party. At a press conference at the Interfax-Ukraine agency on Wednesday, MP Andriy Derkach announced that deputies have received new materials from investigative journalists about international corruption and the participation of Ukrainian officials in it. “Last week, November 14, the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO)

You are not to question. This information is as solid as the Russia Hoax. Anyone who questions Joe or Hunter Biden is a dupe - even if you have access to a personal computer implicating all sorts of criminal activity…..50 former intelligence officials told us so…Orange Man Bad

During his time in office the Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, had his secret service record conversations that he had with both Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry. These were done for his own future protection and conclusively show that Biden only released a $1B loan to Ukraine after Poroshenko coerced Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor investigating Biden’s son Hunter, into resigning despite there being no evidence or charges of corruption against him.
The tapes were given to Ukrainian investigative reporters as part of the effort by Derkash to recover the large sums of money that Poroshenko and Burisma stole from the Ukrainian people.
Having heard the voices on the tapes there can be no reasonable doubt that the voice is that of Joe Biden. I’m not sure what “investigation” needs to be done other than to detect if the conversations were spliced together to change their meaning.
It appears from her resume that the special prosecutor is an honest person and not affiliated with the numerous Soros backed NGOs or other corrupt political activists in Ukraine. She will either get to the truth of Biden’s bribery or it will be yet another coverup like the two or three previous Ukraine prosecutors all performed.

This is so convoluted a guy needs a scorecard (with instructions on how to keep score) just to keep track of the players (who keep changing uniforms and numbers).
I wonder who the black hand is behind the “InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community”
Barbara, you are a real piece of work.
Ditto that...
BOTTOMLINE:
The Derkach tapes were a RUSSIAN SPECIAL OPERATION to interfere in the 2020 US presidential elections.
Putin used a organized group of pro-Russian TV hosts, top bloggers, politicians and media owners, Ukrainian citizens who were effectively acting in the interests of Russia in order to blame Ukraine.
Their concerted actions were “to disclose, lend legitimacy and promote the Derkach tapes” in the prime-time news constituted a special operation within the media sphere.
As Putin watched & laughed!
Trump/Putin 2024.
😂
