The files linked to late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein include email conversations with at least two modeling agencies in Ukraine, travel arrangements for women from Kyiv and Odesa, booking arrangements in the Hyatt hotel in downtown Kyiv allegedly involving the hotel's owner, a plan to purchase real estate in Lviv and the discussion of Ukraine's political scene during the 2019 presidential elections.

Two Kyiv-based modeling agencies are mentioned in the documents released by the DOJ. The agencies — Linea 12 Models and L-Models — were both founded in the 1990s and are still active today.

In one email, a sender whose name is redacted tells Epstein that Linea 12 Models and L-Models were "the best" in Kyiv and that "all the other small agencies if you need I will find contacts but most of all its cheap escort."

The same thread has photos of women attached, with an individual whose name is not shown choosing the women they had liked.
