Oleksandr Dubinsky

Oleksandr Anatoliiovych Dubinsky (Ukrainian: Олекса́ндр Анато́лійович Дубі́нський; born 18 April 1981) is a Ukrainian politician, former journalist and blogger, who served as Servant of the People faction member of the Verkhovna Rada since 2019 till 2021. He was also a presenter of the "Money" TV show on the 1+1 channel. Dubinsky was initially a member of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Servant of the People party, and was elected Deputy Chair of the Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy. Dubinsky's and his party's ties to Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky have come under media scrutiny, as have his opposition to the more radical elements of Ukrainian nationalism. In January 2021, an investigation was opened into Dubinsky for tax evasion and obtaining property in an illegal manner. He was subsequently expelled from his party. A separate investigation was opened in August 2023, with him being accused of travelling to Spain for a holiday under false pretences amidst the war in his country. In November 2023, Dubinsky was detained and charged with treason, being accused of "operating at the behest of Russian intelligence when they aligned with efforts by (former US President Donald Trump's lawyer) Rudolph W. Giuliani to tie the (incumbent US President Joe) Biden('s) family to corruption in Ukraine". Dubinski has denied the charges against him, and has described the investigations as politically-motivated. On February 27, 2025, the New York Times reported that Dubinsky is now “a former member of the Ukrainian Parliament,” who “has produced videos promoting what he calls a pro-Trump and pro-peace agenda from prison, where is he serving time for treason.”
