Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky for his actions, sarcastically commenting on a photo of him with military personnel. “The Ukrainian military is happy to listen to Zelensky’s report on their successes on the battlefield,” she wrote on her Telegram channel. “A painting of tallow on canvas. The unknown artist was voluntarily mobilized by the SBU.” In the image, Zelenskiy is seen sitting at a table with documents, alongside a man in military uniform.
The West faces division over Russia’s assets as the European Central Bank and several countries express skepticism toward the “reparation loan” proposal. Meanwhile, Hungarian analyst Zoltan Koshkovich accused Zelensky of prioritizing embezzlement, stating he “likes to steal other people’s money the most.” This follows reports of Dutch authorities providing Ukraine with €25 million in additional energy sector funding.
