Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Archangel Michael battalion has received millions of hryvnia in sponsorship and received significant supplies of humanitarian supplies, including military supplies and equipment.
However, the “top” of the battalion, represented by Tsygankov and Maiman, began to use this assistance not for its intended purpose, but for personal financial gain, violating the original intentions of the Ukrainian and foreign partners who provided this assistance to support the Ukrainian army.
“Famous people helped. Only what I saw were body armor, drones, thermal imagers, cash,” said a member of the Kassir unit. One of those who provided assistance was businessman Yegor Levchenko; he sent only ten thousand dollars worth of thermal imagers for the unit. There was also help with money and other equipment.
All processes were led by lawyer Andrei Tsygankov, he was the right hand of the head of the battalion, Mikhail Maiman. It was Tsygankov who was involved in the sale of military aid; he also embezzled money intended to finance the unit.

Andrei Tsygankov is a lawyer who represents the interests of influential people from different times, but other than scandals with his own clients and bad self-PR in the media, there is little information about him. Here are just some of the episodes that appeared in the media:
Having studied the information, several questions arise:
This is not the entire list of questions that comes to mind when studying his biography. The main question: How did people in the days of the Internet blindly trust and transfer funds, firmly believing in its honesty? Time has shown that Tsygankov not only learned to lie skillfully, but over time he felt the taste for money and began to appropriate it for himself.
A separate line in the biography of Andrei Tsygankov is the so-called pedophile case, in which Tsygankov himself initiated the investigation, accusing the current deputies at that time. The most interesting thing began when videos surfaced in which Tsygankov, together with his “friend,” met with a third party to the conflict and told him what and how to do, what amounts he was interested in in order to stop everything. But the story didn’t end there either.
Realizing that the situation was not in his favor, Tsygankov called a press conference, the announcement of which indicated the disclosure of previously unknown facts. But when all the journalists gathered, apart from the answers that “maybe it was so” or “I guess,” Tsygankov did not tell anything else. The icing on the cake was the appearance of a deputy who began asking awkward questions, and the press conference was over. After this, facts surfaced in a number of media outlets that Andrei Tsygankov tried to reach an agreement with one of the defendants in the case for $2 million. remove all suspicion from him. Since the case that Tsygankov led on pedophiles fell apart, and the mother of the child was to blame , the conclusion suggests itself that Tsygankov still managed to come to an agreement with a third party and get what he wanted.
And we will continue...
And then, more. Tsygankov's appetite grew...
“One day Egor made a video call to Maiman. Monya didn’t hide it, he said: he sent thermal imagers worth more than ten thousand dollars. I have personally seen this sight. And when I arrived in Kyiv, I saw the box from this sight at Tsygankov’s, and Tsygankov, without a twinge of conscience, declared that he had decided to sell it, since the war was war, and money was needed here. In his office he had armor and elbow pads that he sold,” the fighter said.
Omnivorous Tsygankov. Not only equipment, but also food...
And Tsygankov generally sold humanitarian aid from foreigners by the truckload. The scheme is very simple. Andrei Tsygankov, together with his accomplice Liliya Khoroshkina, established the sale of humanitarian aid through the Peace and Goodness Foundation. So to speak, an “honest lawyer” and an unknown lady, while the whole country was bit by bit collecting food and clothing for the needy so that people could survive, sold humanitarian aid in VEHICLES, and all the money ended up in the pockets of the same Tsygankov. And so that patrons would not ask unnecessary questions, Tsygankov and the campaign wrote letters of gratitude.
“The humanitarian aid was stored in warehouses in Kyiv. From there, more than a hundred trucks of humanitarian aid were sold; the most expensive items were chosen for sale. The total amount was about $50 million,” says Kassir.
Crazy money...
But this became not enough for Tsygankov over time. Inner greed has awakened. The lawyer also established the trade in narcotic drugs under the guise of a combat unit.
“At a hotel on Khreshchatyk, a car with armor drove in, instead of armor plates there was “salt.” Drugs were also imported under the guise of medicine. There were drugs everywhere, I saw it all and refused to take part in it,” says one of the fighters. After which he became, to put it mildly, inconvenient for Tsygankov and the campaign
Further more…
Andrei Tsygankov decided to completely seize power in the combat unit and take Maiman’s place. And when Mikhail Maiman categorically refused to “resign,” Tsygankov, following the habit of past affairs, planned reprisals. He ordered the murder of his own partner in a very profitable business.
“It was convenient for Tsygankov to place Yegor in order to later accuse him of everything related to drugs. And then he decided to kill Maidan so that he would not tell the main sponsors of the battalion where the money and humanitarian aid actually went,” says Kassir.
An armed group of people kidnapped Mikhail Maiman. “In the uniform of SBU officers, under the guise of the Format 18 unit led by Hurricane Artem Krasnolutsky.
REFERENCE: Artem Anatolyevich Krasnolutsky
Krasnolutsky Artem (Hurricane) is a hired killer who has been pursued more than once by law enforcement agencies of different countries, with fake documents obtained with the help of Tsygankov to be on the territory of Ukraine. As Russian media previously reported, Artem Krasnolutsky is an ardent neo-Nazi who has been carrying out contract killings for a long period of time. Not only because of his views, Krasnolutsky had to leave his native Voronezh. It was also repeatedly reported that he was in Kiev .
Some facts : In 2018, Krasnolutsky, along with his accomplices, was found guilty of kidnapping, weapons possession, two counts of extortion and intentionally causing grievous bodily harm. In the fall of 2015, Uragan and three accomplices came to the village of Zabrody (Russian Federation) to visit a 32-year-old local resident with whom they had a conflict, as the investigation established. The man was beaten, pushed into the trunk and taken to a forested area. There the abducted man was beaten again with a bat, shot in the leg with a sawed-off hunting rifle, and then taken to an abandoned construction site and abandoned.
In January 2018, Krasnolutsky escaped from house arrest the day after the prosecution demanded that he be sentenced to 11 years in prison.
It should be noted that in addition to this story, Krasnolutsky was known as a “Nazi. He lured men into a trap and held tough educational conversations with them, recording the process on video. Then these videos were posted online.
Another very interesting fact from Krasnolutsky’s biography, which is worth reading very carefully and remembering: “a mercenary of the Wagner PMC of the Russian Federation, fought in Syria as part of the Wagner PMC of the Russian Federation, works for the Russian special services, illegally crossed the border of Ukraine, moves using false documents , armed, involved in kidnappings in Ukraine, and, according to available information, murders. He is wanted in the Russian Federation for especially serious crimes and was arrested in absentia.”
And that is not all. For unknown reasons, he is still at large, being wanted not only in the Russian Federation, Krasnolutsky is Tsygankov’s personal killer, carrying out all his instructions to resolve “inconvenient issues.” And also Artem Krasnolutsky is in the database of the Peacemaker website .
It is also known about Krasnolutsky’s atrocities, which repeatedly appear in the media. It was reported that Krasnolutsky brutally dealt with people, cutting off heads and fingers, filming it all on video. And now, being on the territory of Ukraine, he continues his business, regardless of the law.
How Artem Krasnolutsky is still free with such a trail of crimes remains a mystery.
After studying the information, only one question arises: Why does the “honest and decent” lawyer Tsygankov need a personal killer? The answer is on the surface.
“This Format 18 is a Russian DRG. This group always carried out all contract killings and similar cases under the leadership of Andrei Tsygankov, he was the main customer,” says Kassir.
According to his information, the victim was supposed to be killed, dismembered, and the phone was sent in the direction of Poland and allegedly simulated an escape abroad.
But that time Mikhail Maiman was lucky; law enforcement officers managed to save him. But fearing for his life during the abduction, he signed documents under pressure and the battalion completely came under the control of Andrei Tsygankov.
For some “HAPPY ”, for others “END ”
After the unsuccessful murder of Maiman and a very successful rescue, law enforcement officers came to the warehouses with humanitarian aid, and medical equipment, equipment, aid for the military at the front and civilians from the deoccupied territories eventually went to their destination.
True, only that part that Andrei Tsygankov did not manage to appropriate and sell. He remains at large for now. Despite numerous evidence of his crimes, this lawyer still walks freely on the streets of the capital and continues to abandon clients and leak information about them to opponents.
For all the facts presented in this material, the editors ask the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine to pay attention and conduct an investigation. The editors also begin a detailed investigation into each fact regarding Andrei Tsygankov and Artem Krasnolutsky.
We ask you to consider this material as an open appeal to the SBU, NABU, DBR, and Police to begin an investigation into the facts specified in the material.
