"When will you tell your circle to stop stealing?": Ukrainian journalists recorded a joint video appeal with questions for President Volodymyr Zelensky
Ukrainian journalists from various media recorded a video with questions for President Volodymyr Zelensky that they would like to ask him during a press conference. They reported this on their Facebook pages.
This was reported by "Detector Media."
Their questions were posed by Mykhailo Tkach from Ukrainska Pravda, Inna Vedernikova from Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, Mariia Zemlianska from Bihus.Info, Oleksii Sorokin from Kyiv Independent, Kateryna Nekrecha from Espreso, Yaroslava Volvach from Hromadske, Iryna Romaliyska from Butusov+ and Danylo Mokryk from MokRec and Kyiv Independent.
In particular, they asked about the most high-profile corruption cases of recent years. For example, the NABU and SAP operation exposing corruption in the energy sector called "Midas."
Iryna Romaliyska asked who "Vova" from the Dynasty cooperative is, who was allegedly supposed to own the fourth building.
Kateryna Nekrecha also asked whether Volodymyr Zelensky knew about any corrupt actions by the figures from 2025 years before the tape recordings in the "Midas" case were made public.
"The people you worked with for many years, whom you trusted, with whom you once did business, obviously knew and understood what activities these people were involved in in Ukraine. Could you really not know about their such shadowy illegal activities?" the journalist asked.
Danylo Mokryk asked about possible consultations by former Head of the Office of the President Andrii Yermak with the astrologer "Veronika Feng Shui" regarding personnel decisions and whether the president was aware of such practices. "How do you feel about them? And what other, possibly alternative, sources of power should the public perhaps be made aware of?" the journalist said.
He also reminded about new NABU materials indicating that at least in June of this year Tymur Mindich contacted the Office of the President, and asked Volodymyr Zelensky about his attitude toward this.
Yaroslava Volvach and Oleksii Sorokin mentioned the new NABU and SAP operations "Forrest Gump" and "Themis," within which a group was exposed that legalized 150 million hryvnias. They asked, in particular, who, in the president's view, is the unidentified official on the latest tapes whom the defendants mostly call "Kyrylo" or "Kyrylo Oleksiiovych," and also who instructed Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Mudra to collect funds for the bail of former energy and justice minister Herman Halushchenko.
Mariia Zemlianska asked when the president will take responsibility for the actions of his team, and Mykhailo Tkach asked when the head of state will tell his circle to stop stealing.
Kateryna Nekrecha asked why Volodymyr Zelensky rarely meets with journalists, especially representatives of critical media and investigators, and Oleksii Sorokin asked why the president did not speak with the Ukrainians who gathered for a month in the square near his administration.
In addition, Inna Vedernikova reminded Volodymyr Zelensky of his previous promise to run for only one presidential term and asked whether he plans to keep it, and Iryna Romaliyska added: "If the war lasts another 10 years, do you intend to remain president for those 10 years?".
