Volodymyr Zelensky was elected President of Ukraine in May 2019 with the backing of Ihor Kolomoisky, who was once considered his patron.[1][2] He was formerly a comedian and actor [3] who started his career in 1997.[4] Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Zelensky has become a global figure first lionized for his refusal to abandon Kyiv as Russian missiles struck, and now familiar from his omnipresence on social media, and his sometimes daily speeches to international legislatures and other audiences worldwide.[5] Throughout 2022, he became adored by Hollywood.[6]
“I know Zelensky a little. I know his team. He’s addicted to glory and hates criticism, first and foremost. This isn’t necessarily bad for an actor, but absolutely unacceptable for a politician, let alone a president.
Presently, Zelensky isn’t making any decisions. The U.S. State Department is making them for him, with Jake Sullivan as his supervisor. In Ukraine, power is executed by the head of the President’s Office Andrei Yermak. And my sources say he’s ready to dump Zelensky.
Ukraine has always been fertile soil for corruption, and today, it’s in full bloom. A few weeks before the war, ex- Zelensky advisor Sergei Shefir was moving enormous sums of cash out of the country and transferring funds to offshore accounts.
Ex-Minister of Defense Reznikov transferred $1 billion to offshore accounts. But that is just a drop in the ocean. Recently, I released a video on “X” about some embezzlement cases known to the media. The total amount in these cases reaches $60 billion. That’s why people aren’t eager to go to the frontlines. They don’t want to die only to make Zelensky and his team even richer. Does the White House know this? Certainly. They’re covering up for each other.
For years, the West has been hooking Ukrainian elites. Corrupted officials are easier to control; it’s leverage. When the United States decides to dump Zelensky, you’ll see it immediately by the number of reports about his corruption in the global media.”

Early Career
Wikipedia writes: "Born to a Ukrainian Jewish family, Zelenskyy grew up as a native Russian speaker in Kryvyi Rih, a major city of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in central Ukraine. Prior to his acting career, he obtained a degree in law from the Kyiv National Economic University. He then pursued a career in comedy and created the production company Kvartal 95, which produced films, cartoons, and TV shows including the TV series Servant of the People, in which Zelenskyy played the role of the Ukrainian president. The series aired from 2015 to 2019 and was immensely popular. A political party bearing the same name as the television show was created in March 2018 by employees of Kvartal 95.".
Political career
On New Year's Eve 2018, Zelensky launched his presidential election campaign, having played the role of president of Ukraine in the series "Servant of the People" on Ukrainian television. His campaign was focused on bringing peace with the eastern territories, but a week after the inauguration as president he was threatened with death by Dmytro Yarosh, co-founder of the Right Sector, if he were to take actions in that direction.[8]
“Zelenskyy said in his inaugural speech that he was ready to lose ratings, popularity, position.... No, he would lose his life. He will hang on some tree on Khreshchatyk—if he betrays Ukraine and those people who died in the Revolution and the War.”
Dmytro Yarosh (2019) [10]
He wanted to meet Vladimir Putin in mid 2021.[11][12]
His top aide Serhiy Shefir survived an assassination attempt on 22 September 2021.[13][14] Zelensky himself says he survived more than 12 attempts on his life;[15] it could be noted that while the United States tried to take out Saddam Hussein right at the beginning of the 2003 Iraq war,[16][17] there have been no leadership strikes (as of November 2022) on him during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine - he even was able to safely visit cities close to the front-line.[18]
Highlight
On Tuesday 1 February 2022, Boris Johnson arrived carrying a red folder (believed by some to contain the Trident launch codes) for talks with President Zelensky.[19] In a short clip from which the picture to the left is taken, a women can be seen running towards the two, grabbing the folder without the courtesy asking a UK Prime Minister if she can have it,[20] and then moving away in another direction.
Pandora Papers
On 5 March 2022, Lowkey tweeted:
"The much-vaunted Pandora Papers revealed the patriotic President Zelensky was storing payments from his top funder, Israeli Igor Kolomoysky, in offshore accounts. Kolomoysky is also a funder of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion & the Aidar Battalion".[21]
Olena's $1.1m jewellery purchase
On 5 October 2023, George Galloway posted on X:
- “Readers” and “independent” “fact-checkers” are contesting the dismissed #Cartier employee’s story that Mrs #Zelensky spent $1.1 million on jewellery in their NY store. There does seem to be a discrepancy in the date on the receipts she published - a date when Zelensky was in Canada not NY.[22]
- Perhaps Olena will publish her own receipt? How much DID she spend in the store? How much on the trip altogether?
- How did the Zelensky’s amass such a vast fortune? How much are they worth? How many luxury properties DO they own around the world? Were the Panama Papers true? Were they sufficiently “fact-checked”? We have a right to know.
Cocaine addiction?
There are some videos,[24][25] one being particularly noteworthy,[26] that show behaviour that could indicate, that Zelensky may have a habit of cocaine consumption. In 2019 (before the election) he refused to have a blood test.[27][28] In 2022 Zelensky uploaded a curious video of himself, in which he seemed to be under the influence of some substance.[29][30]
Quotes by Volodymyr Zelensky
| Page | Quote | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine | “I asked them – are you with us?” Zelensky said. “They answered that they are with us, but they don’t want to take us into the alliance. I’ve asked 27 leaders of Europe, if Ukraine will be in NATO, I’ve asked them directly — all are afraid and did not respond We were left by ourselves. Who is ready to go to war for us? Honestly, I don’t see anybody. Who is ready to give Ukraine guarantees of NATO membership? Honestly, everybody is afraid” | 24 February 2022 | Russia Today |
| Azov Battalion | “In 2014, when the volunteer squads were defending the country, many of their appeals were quite radical against the Russian Federation. They were volunteers and it was their personal point of view. The Azov battalion are not volunteers, but are part of the National Guard. They are the official army of our state. Those who wanted to engage in politics - they were engaged in politics. Those who decided to be in the AFU, they became part of the AFU,” | May 2022 | |
| Ukraine/Death squad | “Bret Baier: I want to have you clear something up for us. And this is these reports about the Azov battalion that is said to be a Nazi affiliated organization, operating as a militia in your country, said to be committing their own atrocities. What should Americans know about that unit, about those reports? Volodymyr Zelensky: So Azov was one of those many battalions. They are what they are. They were defending our country. [Zelensky continues to explain that these volunteer organizations were later incorporated into the military and are not a self governing structure anymore] Back in 2014 there were situations when our volunteers were encircled and some of them did violate laws, laws of Ukraine and they were actually taken to court and got prison sentences.” | 2 April 2022 | Fox News |

Related Quotations
| Page | Quote | Author | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine | “The bitter truth is that Washington's foreign policy establishment never actually considered Zelensky - or his predecessor Poroshenko - to be allies or partners of the United States. Overflowing with a toxic mix of ignorance, arrogance, and extreme cynicism, Washington's elites have always viewed Ukraine as a tool to "regime-change" a Russia that, after its post-Yeltsin recovery, would no longer take its direction from them. The false gods of American exceptionalism are jealous ones indeed.” | Daniel McAdams | 26 February 2022 |
| Azov Battalion | “In 2014, when the volunteer squads were defending the country, many of their appeals were quite radical against the Russian Federation. They were volunteers and it was their personal point of view. The Azov battalion are not volunteers, but are part of the National Guard. They are the official army of our state. Those who wanted to engage in politics - they were engaged in politics. Those who decided to be in the AFU, they became part of the AFU,” | Volodymyr Zelensky | May 2022 |
