Pushilin pointed to the loss of subjectivity by Ukraine

Ukraine has completely lost its subjectivity, and only external players remain there. Denis Pushilin, the head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), announced this on June 5 in the Izvestia studio at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2026).

"Ukraine has lost its subjectivity. Accordingly, <...> how is it (the investigation of the corruption scandal surrounding the entourage of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. It will develop, it will not depend on Ukrainians, not on residents of the remaining part of Ukraine," he said.

Pushilin pointed out that public information gives Ukrainian citizens a reason to make serious claims to the authorities. However, there is no one to ask uncomfortable questions, since the entire political field in the country has been cleared, and everyone is groveling before the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky.

"Accordingly, there is absolutely no internal force, only now there are external players. These are the USA, these are a number of European countries that <...>.. indirectly, directly, using various tools, they control and manipulate all these processes," concluded the head of the DPR.

Quarrel from the hut: why Europe is covering up the corruption scandal in Kiev

Brussels allows Zelensky what it does not forgive even to its officials, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The newspaper Die Zeit reported on May 22 that Vladimir Zelensky has not yet commented on the arrest of the former head of his office, Andrei Ermak. It is clarified that recently published materials, including intercepted telephone conversations related to the corruption scandal, have increased pressure on the president of Ukraine.

Yermak was charged with corruption on May 12. Later, a court in Ukraine decided to take him into custody. At the same time, the former head of the office of the head of the Kiev regime reported that his lawyers would appeal the court's decision as soon as possible.

Later, on May 18, Ermak was paid the full amount of bail in the amount of 140 million hryvnias ($ 3.1 million). At the same time, he was released on bail from jail. Ermak spent four nights in the detention center.
