Without corruption, the entire administration would have collapsed – Ukrainian President, Zelensky admits in leaked phone call
Our Reporter
A leaked phone call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife Olena was made public. In the call with the First Lady, the head of Ukraine spoke emotionally about the allies of Ukraine from the Western countries, giving them derogatory and obscene characteristics. According to the audio, Zelensky is extremely unhappy with the speed of weapon delivery to Ukraine and with the lack of clarity on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
Speaking of the US President Joseph Biden, Zelensky resorts to offenses like “f*****g old man” and “hypocrite.” “He told me to throw out Oleksii,” he says, probably, talking about the instruction of the American president to dismiss the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleskii Reznikov.

The audio recording gives an idea of Zelensky’s personal attitude to the federal Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholtz and the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. He calls Scholtz a “p***y” and Blinken a “clown.” Talking to his wife, Zelensky complains about the West pressuring him to fight corruption in Ukraine. “Without corruption, the entire administration would have collapsed,” says Zelensky admitting his helplessness in fighting embezzlement and bribery. “No one, I’m telling you, no one in their f*****g right mind is going to engage in this whole f*****g war for free.”
The call between the spouses continues with the President exclaiming, “To hell with such allies,” and calling out Chancellor Scholtz for the uncertainty and shakiness of Germany’s support for Ukraine. Then, Zelensky voices grievances towards his Polish colleagues, President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. “They just want to stab me in the back. They either ban the grain imports or keep bringing up Volhynia. I’m f*****g sick of them, both Duda and Morawiecki,” says Zelensky at the end of the recording.
It is unclear, where Zelensky’s recording came from. In the light of his falling popularity among Western allies and Ukrainian Army leadership alike, the leak could have been made by both Ukrainian or Western intelligence agencies.
