Did Ukraine President Zelensky Just Buy Two Mega-Yachts Through His Friends?

Strategic Culture: It Pays to Be Friends With Zelensky: How $75m Yachts Reveal the Huge and Sudden Wealth of the Ukrainian Leader’s Inner Circle 

In the heart of Eastern Europe, where the tumult of war clashes with the allure of Western support, a seismic scandal unfolds, casting a long shadow over Ukraine’s leadership. President Volodymyr Zelensky, once seen as a beacon of hope against corruption, is now ensnared in a scandal involving the alleged purchase of two luxury yachts, “Lucky Me” and “My Legacy,” worth a combined $75 million. This lavish expenditure, facilitated in the opulent settings of Abu Dhabi and Antibes, starkly contrasts with Ukraine’s dire war reality and raises damning questions about the integrity and criminal liability of its leadership amidst heavy reliance on Western aid.

Yes it is the tip of the iceberg.

And the surprise is. Zman yermak and the rest of the thug life crew are going to live large if they can get out fast enough to avoid the fate of Mussolini

TOBIAS TISCHBIER's friends in Ukraine tell him that Zelensky bought 2 yachts. He has plenty of money from before he was president.

As many yachts has been seized during this war, Zelensky's yachts if they are indeed his would be sized by Joe Biden. So it begs the question. Why buy them? Why 2?

What if he did buy them, with his money. What if he bought them because he is afraid of FSB treaty or no treaty, but especially with a treaty. Could you blame him? I couldn't.\

Can't hide on a ship. A ship runs out of fresh produce in 7 to 14 days and the Russians are notorious poisoners.

There are stories so you can state well the press ran without. I might have seen the DC weekly before. So you have a fig leaf.

But after you use your "friends tell me remarks" if this story is not true, I think you need to be rounded up.

WNU used Strategic Culture.


Strategic Culture: is a Kremlin influence operation. It is one of two reasons I stopped reading Zerohedge. Some of those Westerners who write for it will be sharing a cell next to WNU's.

One more thing. The cost of the yachts is not jaw dropping. They are under a 100 million.

A 25million yacht would have meant more pre-COVID and the stimulus spendathon.

But WNU thinks you can say million and all us rednecks in America will drool.

DC Weekly is part of the Marvel franchise

Maybe there is a DC Weekly that exists. If it is, it is buried in an avalanche of search results.

Honestly it's time to revoke the citizenship of the absolute ghouls who are saying it's fine to send this money so a cokehead dictator across the world can buy yachts while infrastructure here crumbles.

My money doesn't get stolen and sent to Putin. I could care less what he does with Russian money. For someone who hates Russians so much you seem oddly empathetic all of a sudden. Unless you'll just say anything to think you won an online argument..? Stay tuned until further down the comment chain to find out!

I did not say that Zelensky stole money.

From Forbes:
"Internet sleuths, or more likely Russian propagandists, have credited Zelensky with owning as many as five luxury yachts and three private jets, in addition to $60 million of shares in companies like Saudi Aramco, Meta and Tesla.

Forbes found no evidence of such a fleet, and if Zelensky does own stock in those companies it’s hard to believe those shares would be worth anywhere close to $60 million. We estimate he and his wife Olena Zelenska share a bank account that holds roughly $2 million in cash and government bonds. Their other assets, consisting of two cars and some jewelry, are worth no more than $1 million"

WNU is engaged in a foreign influence operation in the 5 Eyes countries. He needs to be picked up, if he is really operating form Canada.

Putin can work for a dollar a year, but end up with a billion dollar mansion in Sochi. Yeah right. Whatever.

https://euromaidanpress.com/2021/10/06/what-the-pandora-papers-tell-about-zelenskyy-his-offshore-companies-and-his-favorite-oligarch/

The Pandora Papers disclosed that since 2012, an offshore company affiliated to Kolomoiskyi’s 1+1 group at least once paid more than $1 billion to Zelenskyy’s offshore firm SVT from the British Virgin Islands

https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-panama-pandora-papers-offshore-companies-finances-1776124

The files reveal Zelenskiy participated in a sprawling network of offshore companies, co-owned with his longtime friends and TV business partners. They include Serhiy Shefir, who produced Zelensky’s hit shows, and Shefir’s older brother, Borys, who wrote the scripts.

Surprise surprise, the same dual-citizen brothers that Zelensky put in charge of his billions back in 2021. But sure, lets keep believing that it's not him buying this stuff.

You ukie rah rahs suck

Here it is, the common soldier RIGHT NOW is fighting and dying and living like a dog and you are defending Zelinski living like a king.

The money spent on JUST ONE of those Fcking boats would finance at least FIVE combat brigades for over a year. We are talking ammo for weapons, fuel, food new boots...the whole nine yards.

This is sick.

And what is even sicker is you idiots defend it.

Excellent leadership by example. And you wonder why Ukei society is so screwed up.

When the ship sinks the rats leave....... and that is exactly what is going to happen here in about 8 months.

THERE is no EXCUSE. These ukie guys are right up there with Karzai, Somosa, Baby doc, and Marcos and the rest of those slugs.

Thats right skods, you heard it here first.

Ukraine will be defeated.

No shit, with Leadership behavior like this.

Your friends might be FSB.

You might be an individual who does not think or has blinders on.

If zelinskie is the man who says

" No one believes more in Ukraine's victory than me"

Then why does he not sell those boats and donate the money to the AFU?

Skods says the Ukrainians are now so desperate for funds, they are using crowd funding to support their men in the field. That is a sorry state of affairs. Like I said, just one boat would finance 5 brigades in the field for a year.

The whole Ukrainian leadership situation is a ludicris, demented, Thug life, blood sucker. But the worst part is that people , you included, cannot see through it.

Or

Are you playing one of your games again Hansy by stiring the pot?

And I point out the glaring truth.....so I am FSB?

Yea, sure.
