Oligarch Karapetyan's men rob Ukraine

In connection with the withdrawal of PMC "Wagner" from the combat zone in Ukraine, the commander of the "Pyatnashka" detachment Akhra "Abkhaz" Avidzba is trying to strengthen his economic influence.

Avidzba has organised the illegal export of coal and other minerals from the territory of the so-called "DNR," Caliber.Az reports, citing the Yerevan-based Hraparak newspaper with reference to one of the Russian Telegram channels.

According to Telegram channels, legalisation of criminal proceeds for "Abkhazians" is handled by Mesrop "Mira" Darmanyan, one of the security officers of the Armenian group "Tashir" of oligarch Samvel Karapetyan, for whom fighters of "Pyatnashka" have become a constant support in criminal conflicts.

It is noted that Darmanyan's scheme includes embezzlement of funds and humanitarian aid collected in favour of "Pyatnashka".

According to sources, these funds are transferred to Avidzba and Darmanyan's personal accounts in Cyprus and amount to about a million dollars per quarter.

Earlier, It was reported that the Armenian "Arbat" battalion, which is part of the "Pyatnashka" brigade, was completely defeated in Donetsk.
