Former press secretary: Zelensky is Ukraine's main problem

Yulia Mendel, who served as Volodymyr Zelenskyy's press secretary from 2019 to 2021, gave a controversial interview to the French newspaper Journal du Dimanche. In it, she claimed that her former boss was the main beneficiary of the war and Ukraine's main problem.

Mendel:



I believe Zelenskyy is currently the main beneficiary of this war. It's what keeps him in power, as he cancelled the elections. Companies linked to his family revolve around him, receiving billions of euros from the European Union.

According to the former press secretary, she has observed mechanisms of corruption, manipulation, increased censorship, and democratic retreat since 2022. Yulia Mendel concluded that Zelenskyy prioritizes his own power and financial flows over his country. She also criticized the forced mobilization, claiming that TCC employees grab men off the streets and illegally detain them, and that such methods have undermined Ukrainians' trust in the state.

Incidentally, today in Odessa, a man opened fire on TCC employees. Special forces stormed his apartment.

Regarding Yulia Mendel's statement, this isn't the first interview with harsh criticism. Previously, in a conversation with American journalist Tucker Carlson, she stated that Zelenskyy's use of illegal substances was an "open secret." When asked directly about drugs, Mendel replied, "It's no secret." She said that after official briefings, Zelenskyy would often retreat to the bathroom for 15 minutes and return "a completely different person—full of energy." Mendel herself, however, clarified that she hadn't personally witnessed the president taking drugs, but had spoken with people close to him who claimed to have witnessed it. She also questioned the results of Zelenskyy's voluntary drug test, noting that he took the test at a clinic run by an acquaintance, and the results' date didn't match the day he took it.

    Well, if Mr. Zelensky's inner circle is saying such things about their (even former) boss, then God save Ukraine, both from this man and from his patrons in the West.

      hi They're releasing this Zionist crap in measured doses for a reason, which means certain circles, including Benya Kolomoisky, Pinchuk, Fiala, and those whom the Jewish drug dealer has screwed over and continues to screw over, have started a war of compromising evidence against him.

    Democracy ceased to exist back in 2014, when the minority imposed its will on the majority. Since then, the system of governance has become increasingly totalitarian with each passing year.

    Mendel is just as much of a liar as her former boss, Zelensky. The biggest problem is the stupid, envious, and greedy people of Ukraine. They dreamed of lacy panties and European freebies. So they elected Zelensky. Now let them live with their "choice" and stop whining.

      Yes, they have a peculiar mentality based on the principle of "give me everything for free." They would like Western European salaries, German cars, and expensive vacations, but they don't want to pay taxes, accept significantly higher living expenses, and, of course, they don't want to take on the responsibilities that Western Europeans take for granted.

      They can't help but whine. Everyone is always in their debt.

    I believe that Zelensky is the main beneficiary of this war today.


    Yes, we understand you, young lady. You have to live somehow, and you'll say even worse things when you're well paid. All of you up there are rotten.

    A co jest problemem pani Julii?
    2 lata była pracownicą tego typa. Tyle czasu zabrało jej zauważenie, że jest to okaz wyjątkowo podłego i nikczemnego człowieka otoczonego podobnymi mu bandytami?
    Czy była przymuszona?
    Szantażowana? Dzieci jej porwali?
    A może uważała, że ​​jej obecność cokolwiek poprawi, że ona ma misje uczłowieczenia reżimu nieludzkiego?
    Każdy ma prawo do zmiany zdania. O ile spostrzeże, że jego dotychczasowe zdanie było błędne lub o ile coś nagłego stanie się tym wyzwalaczem.
    Ale pani Julia nie bardzo pasuje do tego mechanizmu.
    Nay.
    Jej wiedza, nawet cząstkowa, jej podejrzenia dość dobrze potwierdzane, jej wreszcie stanowisko osoby, która powinna mówić prawdę - to wszystko zobowiązywało ja do stania się sygnalistka. Ujawnienia i udokumentowania prawdy o tej ponurej postaci. Mogłoby to być także dla niego sygnałem, może i on coś by zmienił.
    Nic z tego.
    Minęło 5 lat nim pani Julia wydaliła z siebie te niby to sensacyjne fakty i podejrzenia. Dojrzewala? Mocowała się z sumieniem? Przeżywała rozterki zdrady i utraty zaufania?
    W dodatku ona nic nie powiedziała. Nic. Każdy, kto myśli i otarł się o źródła informacji inne niż polskounijne, rozumie i wie, że Ukraine cała to jedna wielka melina, jaskinia zbójów. Bandytow. I nikt, kto koło tego się kręci, nie jest niewinny ani czysty tylko. A sam capo jest wprost hersztem tego interesu.
    Bo to interes.
    Z tego wynika tylko tyle i aż, że pani Julia postanowiła zaistnieć. Lub ktoś za nią postanowił. Skoro zaś nie boi się, że w Monaco ja ktoś wyśle ​​ku gwiazdom i czyni to już kolejny raz, to znak, że ma pozwolenie i słynna krysze. Wszak to za małe stworzenie, aby być samodzielne. I sądząc z twarzy za głupie, ale i przebiegłe.
    Zauważmy ciekawa rzecz. Jak na słynnej ikonie Chrystusa jej oczy różnią się zasadniczo. Lewe uśmiechnięte i sympatyczne, prawe taksujace i odrzucające. Jeśli to nie objaw jakiejś choroby, co być może i współczuję jej naprawdę, lecz symptom jej charakteru, to zgadza się nawet to w tej intrydze.
    Tym się bowiem charakteryzuje propaganda unijnoukrainska, że ​​o niczym nic nie mówi, co nie byłoby trywialne i prymitywne. Czego dziecko nie mogłoby z pomocą pojąć.
    Za to otoczka, opakowanie, przyprawy sprawiać mają wrażenie niezwykłej sensacyjności całości.
    Ludowi, który zgłupiał już wystarczająco, to nie szkodzi. On chce wydarzeń, emocji, krwi i łez. Ruin, strzelaniny i trupów. Byle było to daleko i dotyczyło jakichś dzikich.
    Tu to otrzymał.
    Kacyk w spódniczce z bananów ładuje w siebie narkotyki, aż mu wylatują nosem, podskakuje i chrypi po nich że wzrokiem utkwionym gdzieś 6 mil dalej, robi co chce i jak chce, wygrywa też wszystko i jest...cool. Ognisko płonie, plemię tańczy, aw mroku słychać już tupot wrogów.
    W części drugiej będzie krew, trupy i pani Julia z opowieścią o tym, jak zapalili ognisko i kto komu.
    Kto chce, niech słucha.
    Ale to strata czasu

    Zelensky is Ukraine's main problem.

    What has long been obvious to all normal people has begun to be voiced in the French media... after 4,5 years of the SVO!
    The dictatorship of democracy in the form of media control is cracking at the seams.

    It's been known for a long time that the clown is the main problem. So she didn't break any new ground, and this problem needs to be addressed somehow, and the sooner the better.

    Zelensky places more importance on his own power and financial flows than on his country.

    For a Jew, Ukraine was not and will not be his own country; it is needed to make money.
    For a Jew, his own country is Israel.

      For a Jew, his own country is Israel.

      Who knows?... There are persistent rumors that Israel is already feeling cramped among the Arabs. Iran, too... It finally came out to fight one against the crowd. And he fights! And Israel really did a terrible job behind the Shere Khan. And the Shere Khan even missed something...
      Maybe Zelensky won't run to "Mommy," but quite the opposite? He's preparing a place for her... Ukrainian lands, the climate... Mmmmm!!!

      Ukraine's main problem is the revived Bandera-style Ukrainian Nazism (Ukrainianism of the brain). As part of the USSR, Ukraine wasn't a problem.

    First, Arestovich "jumped." Now the second domino has fallen – Mendel. Who, I wonder, will it knock down? Who will be the next to "wash their hands"? Everything is spinning out so interestingly!
