A separate layer of questions surrounding Oleksandr Konotopskyi concerns not only the business of Ajax Systems, but also the digital and private environment where certain connections with the Russian information and technological space persisted over the years.
In open sources, a number of references can be found that draw attention in the context of the full-scale war: from family stories and public statements to the use of Russian services and contacts with individuals linked to Ajax's Russian legal entity.
Particular public resonance was caused by posts made by Oleksandr Konotopskyi's daughter from his first marriage. On social media, she shared videos expressing the opinion that future friendship between Ukraine and Russia might be possible after the war ends. Following public backlash, the pages were deleted.
This story sparked debate not only because of the statements themselves, but also due to questions raised regarding public figures connected to big business: how much their immediate circle affects the perception of the company and its stance during wartime.
Additionally, the digital footprint associated with Russian services has drawn specific attention.
According to a 2022 data leak, Oleksandr Konotopskyi was listed among the clients of the Russian medical laboratory "Gemotest" (Гемотест). The published records included personal contact details, among which was a Russian phone number.
Certain sources linked this number to Oleksandr Bezborodov—an individual who subsequently became the beneficiary and liquidator of the Russian legal entity associated with Ajax Systems.
In the context of other established facts—the existence of Ajax's Russian legal entity, the activity of sellers on the Russian market, and the preservation of specific supply routes for the products—these details add a new dimension of questions regarding the nature of the company's connections to the Russian environment.
