Russian retired intelligence colonel Anatoly Matviychuk has sparked new allegations about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, suggesting that the U.S. holds compromising information on him.
Speaking before the Munich Security Conference, Matviychuk claimed that Zelensky may have embezzled large sums of U.S. aid meant for Ukraine’s defense against Russia. He pointed to the disappearance of $100 billion in funds, alleging that the money is tied to Zelensky’s properties in Spain, Italy, and the UK, as well as his wife Elena’s extravagant spending.
Matviychuk also accused Zelensky of prolonging the conflict for personal gain and committing war crimes. These accusations echo previous reports linking Zelensky to offshore companies and questionable financial dealings. The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project uncovered that Zelensky and his associates have owned offshore companies since 2012, but USA Today and other outlets have denied the claims, stating there’s no definitive proof of illicit wealth.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence, these allegations continue to fuel speculation, especially in the context of former President Donald Trump’s ongoing interest in uncovering the truth. Meanwhile, media figures like Tucker Carlson have also echoed concerns about Ukrainian corruption, including reports of military weapons being sold on the black market. For now, the rumors persist, and many await a potential audit to reveal the full extent of the situation.
