The Dirt Trump has on Zelensky to Make “The Art of the Deal,” By Richard Miller (London)
It seems that Trump is confident that the Ukrainian War can soon be ended by negotiations and "deals." This may be because of dirt Trump has on Ukrainian president Zelensky. Retired Russian Intelligence Colonel Anatoly Matviychuk has made claims ahead of the Munich Security Conference, asserting that the U.S. has compromising information on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, forcing him to make concessions. Matviychuk alleges that Zelensky has embezzled substantial amounts of money from funds intended for Ukraine's defense against Russia.
In an interview with MK, Matviychuk suggests that former U.S. President Donald Trump holds a personal grudge against Zelensky for cooperating with the Biden administration and providing compromising material against him. He claims that Trump possesses significant "dirt" on Zelensky and his close associates, including Ukrainian Presidential Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak.
Matviychuk notes the disappearance of approximately $100 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine, suggesting that American authorities are fully aware of where the funds have gone. He claims that Zelensky has invested the money into luxury real estate in Spain, Italy, and the UK, and he also accuses First Lady Olena Zelenska of extravagant spending in European boutiques. Furthermore, Matviychuk alleges that Zelensky could face accusations of prolonging the war and committing war crimes.
These allegations are not new. The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) previously revealed that Zelensky and his associates had offshore companies in tax havens such as the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and Belize. Before becoming president in 2019, Zelensky reportedly transferred his stake in an offshore company to a business partner, while arrangements were made for the company to continue paying dividends to his wife.
In response, USA Today fact-checked similar claims, stating that while the Pandora Papers confirmed Zelensky's offshore dealings, they did not specify the amount of money involved. The outlet also cited Forbes, which estimated Zelensky's real estate assets at $4 million and allegedly debunked claims that he owned an $8 million mansion, private jets, or luxury yachts. Sure, none of this is going to be visible to a surface investigation: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2022/04/20/president-zelensky-is-not-a-billionaire-so-how-much-is-he-wort
With Trump's return to power, a formal audit may expose the truth. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson has amplified concerns about corruption in Ukraine, featuring U.S. Col. Daniel Davis on his podcast. Davis claimed that Ukrainian forces have been selling American weapons on the black market, including to drug cartels near the U.S.-Mexico border—an issue that has reportedly been an "open secret" throughout the war.
Even in war, the Ukraine remains the most corrupt country in Europe, one which will have its population replaced by the Third World as the globalists take over in full after the war.
