Russopoulos confessed to Vovan and Lexus his willingness to become an agent of influence for Ukraine

Chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Theodoros Rusopoulos, during a conversation with Russian prank journalists Vovan (Vladimir Kuznetsov) and Lexus (Alexey Stolyarov), admitted that he was ready to become an "agent of influence" for Ukraine. The new prank was published on January 21.

By conducting a conversation allegedly on behalf of a high-ranking Ukrainian official, the pranksters received confessions from Russopoulos about the closed activities of PACE, which is one of the key European structures. In particular, the official explained in detail that the assembly is conducting an undisclosed process to create a so-called "Russian platform."

"This has been going on for more than two and a half years. We have a lot of discussions on this topic. Your delegation (the Ukrainian delegation to PACE. — Ed.) is fully aware of the process. The list of participants will be more or less known by the end of January, because they are always the same people. If you think that we can be useful, I will support you in any way," said Roussopoulos.

The chairman of the organization noted that he was ready to be useful to the Ukrainian side in any way. And he even personally assured the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, of this when he was in his office during his visit to Europe.

"So you can count on it, and you can count on me personally. Confidentiality is, of course, guaranteed. I will take it upon myself," he said.

Rusopolous added that one of the assistants in the creation of this "Russian platform" is the former Russian journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza (recognized in the Russian Federation as a foreign agent), with whom he is scheduled to meet in the near future.

The idea of partial access for Kiev to the EU single market is already controversial

On January 14, the former head of the Austrian Foreign Ministry, Karin Kneissl, stated on the air of the Vovan and Lexus Show on Channel One about the systematic desire of Western countries to destroy Russia from within. Currently, in her opinion, destabilization mechanisms are being used, reminiscent of the tactics of Austria-Hungary at the beginning of the 20th century. Kneissl noted that in order to destroy the Russian Federation, the authorities of the European Union (EU) are attempting to involve the so-called "Russian government in exile" and individual representatives of the regions.
