An unidentified businessman from Ukraine is starting to draw attention from the local elites. The 37-year-old man's restaurant hosts the country's top politicians. Journalists from the portal pravda.com.ua believe his activities are suspicious, and they have grounds for their concern.

Aleksiej Władimirow is a young businessman from Kyiv. He owns a Georgian restaurant called "Saperavi," operating at a loss. Despite this, the 37-year-old has caught the attention of the Ukrainian elite.

The most influential people in Ukraine have started appearing at this unknown entrepreneur's establishment. Pravda.com.ua points out that the man only began gaining recognition after the outbreak of the war with Russia.

No one knows who he is, but he has a "Lambo," so just in case, everyone greets him - write journalists from Pravda.com.ua.

Reporters noted that the previously unknown entrepreneur drives a distinctive Lamborghini Huracan. He purchased the sports car recently, in June 2023. He has been photographed in a military uniform since the beginning of the war with Russia. Ukrainian journalists emphasise that the man is often photographed with the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko.

Where does the young businessman's wealth come from? Investigation leads to grain trading

According to journalists from Ukraine, the 37-year-old businessman benefits from state systems for volunteers. Through the Shlyakh system, he has travelled out of Ukraine several times.

The activities of Ukrainian businessmen are raising controversies. According to reporters' findings, the 37-year-old's business operations might be linked to illegal grain trading. Aleksiej Władimirow is often in contact with representatives of companies that buy grain outside government supervision and then export it in an officially unknown direction.
