Wow - Lev Parnas was hired by DiGenova and Toensing as an interpreter for Dmitry Firtash
I made this connection 3 days ago when news broke Parnas, Furman, Sargeant were meddling in Naftogaz that intermediary who gets a cut from Naftogaz sales to customers is Dmitry Firtash

Notably - apparently Trump supported proposed changes at Naftogaz

Giuliani specifically wanted to talk with Zelensky aide Yermak who had worked as copyright lawyer representing media cos including a tv channel Inter owned by Dmitry Firtash -Yermak also worked for lawmaker with Party of Regions, which Manafort worked for
Naftogaz is going to be a key part of Ukraine story

March 2018 Stockholm Arbitral Tribunal ruled that Russian Gazprom had to pay $2.5 billion to Ukraine's state-owned Naftogaz

Russia retaliated against the ruling by turning off gas in winter temperatures
A few months later Ukraine regulators announced plans that would give Dmytro Firtash a huge windfall by cancelling $1 billion in debts owed by Firtash's regional gas company to state-owned Naftogaz
More in thread on one of the people Perry was pushing to join Naftogaz advisory committee - Robert Bensh, who has very close business ties with Frank Mermoud who was coordinator of diplomatic corps at the RNC when references to arming Ukraine were removed
