MOSCOW, November 20. /TASS/. The West that has "coddled" Vladimir Zelensky must now share responsibility for corruption in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in an interview with TASS.
"Let this Western community, all the countries that have coddled him, that gave him all kinds of platforms, showered him with awards, and, as they like to do, kissed his boots and forced others to practically kneel before him, wringing their hands, let them go and share this moment of anti-glory with him and his accomplices," she said.
"I think everybody must look at the consequences of terrorist actions, especially linked with such a bloody and terrifying international corruption machine," the diplomat stressed.
Zakharova noted that the situation in Ukraine is not a plain corruption scandal, but a systemic issue for the Kiev regime. "I strongly oppose calling it a corruption scandal. By doing so, we would practically confirm that everything else is fine and this is just a hiccup, an isolated case that is supposedly not systemic. This is not just a corruption scandal, it is more than that. This is yet another abscess bursting on the rotting body of the Kiev regime. This is precisely a systemic issue that is becoming increasingly clear," she added.
