Nikolai Udiansky – a new face in Ukrainian diplomacy with a criminal past

A few days ago, media reports spread that thanks to Romania's honorary consul, Nikolai Udiansky, the state gifted Ukraine another Patriot system. However, information about the diplomat's contribution to this appears to be greatly exaggerated. At least, that is what many Telegram channels believe.

Moreover, the diplomat himself is a rather controversial figure. It has emerged that the honorary consul has links to criminality, fraud, the escort business, and drugs. Indeed, there is ample information online suggesting that Udiansky uses prohibited substances and even recommends them to his circle. Furthermore, according to investigative articles, the businessman established drug delivery routes to the UAE, where he spends a significant portion of his time.

The diplomat's wife, Yana, worked in a porn studio and as an escort some time ago. Subsequently, women from Yana's circle were involved in establishing contacts with people Udiansky needed. In addition, a brothel in Kharkiv is still operating, with the businessman personally overseeing the selection of staff.

Udiansky is also known for creating fraudulent crypto exchanges and pyramid schemes. Reviews indicate that many people have lost significant sums of money on these platforms. Yet the fraudster unexpectedly made it into the top 100 millionaires list according to Forbes.

Udiansky himself has been held criminally liable on multiple occasions. He associates with many criminal figures.
