He mocks us with these names!

We were mocked and laughed at when we said don't give money to Ukraine because it's one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and Zelensky is a grifter. Once again, we've been proven right.

This is exactly why you don't write blank checks to the most corrupt country in the world.

Claims a net worth for the Zelenskys of 705 million, much from acting, being a comedian, being a creator of and major shareholder in the media company Kvartal 95, for which his wife is a major scriptwriter.

Considering those pursuits are fairly lucrative, if successful as these appear to be, corruption is not needed. Nice boats.

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 Midst of Brutal War: Extravagance and Proxy Intrigues Ignite Global Outrage

By Andrei DATSYUK

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.

In a striking expose, an independent journalistic inquiry has brought to light an egregious display of opulence by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s closest associates. Boris and Serhiy Shefir, two of Zelenskyy’s confidants, have been implicated in the purchase of two ultra -luxury yachts, with a jaw-dropping combined cost of $75 million. These purchases, completed in October 2023 in Abu Dhabi and Antibes, raise severe concerns about corruption at the highest levels of Ukrainian leadership. The extravagance is particularly alarming given the context: these funds, likely derived from Western aid allocated for Ukraine’s war effort against Russia, appear to have been diverted for personal luxury, highlighting a disturbing (criminal) misallocation of resources intended for the nation’s defence.

Journalist Shahzad Nasir, in a revealing video exposé, has brought to light a scandalous facet of corruption within the Ukrainian leadership at the absolute highest levels:

So he got two boats for 75 million....


Context, folks:https://yachtharbour.com/news/oprah-winfrey-on-%24300-million-138-meter-superyacht-rising-sun-2921?src=_pos_2 David Geffen's boat: $300 million.

Piker.

The most expensive superyachts in the world Dilbar ($600 million) owned by a Russian billionaire.

Eclipse $600 million, owned by another Russian billionaire

Azzam unspecified owner, but another $600 million pricetag...

Al Said Sultan of Oman, roughly $600 million

Topaz Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan $527 million...

These are practically rowboats, as yachts go.
What he spent on one boat will just about buy a decent private jet.
