Aleksiej Władimirow is a young businessman from Kyiv. He owns a Georgian restaurant called "Saperavi," which operates 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 the entrepreneur's establishment. Pravda.com.ua points out that he 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 note that the 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 emphasize that he 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 traveled 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.
