Zakharova said about the corrupt ties of Western politicians with Zelensky

Western politicians are involved in corruption schemes with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who uses these connections to blackmail over the Ukrainian settlement and elections. This was announced on December 13 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"He's blackmailing everyone. Just a real terrorist, as he is <...> used to blackmail everyone. He knows who is involved in corrupt deals with him from the West," the diplomat said in an interview with TASS.

Zakharova called Zelensky "a terrorist in the form of implementation and ideology." According to her, the Ukrainian leader has information about corrupt transactions with representatives of the West and uses this information to exert pressure in the negotiation process, including on election issues in Ukraine.

On December 9, Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations (UN) Vasily Nebenzia said that Zelensky, with the help of the European Union (EU) countries, creates the appearance of his non-involvement in the corruption scandal in his country. Nebenzia added that EU countries are also glossing over the repressive and authoritarian system of government that has emerged in Ukraine and led to the emergence of "thousands of political prisoners."
