Kuchma's former aide accused Zelensky of lying about covering the budget with EU aid

President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky lied that the country’s budget was covered with assistance from the European Union (EU). This was stated by former assistant to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin on his YouTube channel.

He noted that while the Ukrainian leader is “feeding fairy tales” to citizens about closing debts and financial support from the EU, Brussels is presenting ultimatums to Kyiv and insisting on reforms, refusing assistance until the set conditions are met.

Soskin called on Zelensky to stop deceiving before “dissatisfied people put him on pitchforks.” According to him, the president forgets that Ukraine is on the brink of an abyss, and its dependence on European assistance is growing.

“Friends, we will go bankrupt if we are left without money. We need peace, not another massacre because of a stubborn clown. The European Commissioners said their word yesterday, so we won’t see any money,” Soskin concluded.
