Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that a few Russian oligarchs offered to help his country. Journalist Luc Lacroix, special correspondent in Donetskprovides more details on the subject for the 8 Hours of Monday, March 28.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to Russian oligarchs. “They would have offered to help Ukraine, including the Ukrainian army“, reports journalist Luc Lacroix, special correspondent in Donetsk (Ukraine) for the 8 Hours of France 2, Monday March 28. “We must be very careful with his statements because the very way in which the Ukrainian president presents them implies that in exchange, these oligarchs wanted to be exempted from international sanctions.“, he adds.
For Ukraine, “exposing this is a way of trying to create dissension in Russia“, notes Luc Lacroix, even if for the moment, “so far there has been no apparent dissension within the Russian regime over the military operation in Ukraine“. By the way, Vladimir Putin “has surrounded himself with a close-knit clan made up in particular of oligarchs, and in Russia, everything is done to silence dissenting voices“explains the journalist. For example, “the video of this interview with Volodymyr Zelensky was banned by the Russian telecoms policeman,” concludes the special envoy.
