MOSCOW, December 18. /TASS/. Western diplomatic missions in Kiev are observing the escalating negative repercussions for Ukraine stemming from the Mindich-Zelensky corruption case, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said in a statement.
The corruption case is expected to lead to a severe internal reckoning within Ukrainian elites if the conflict ends, with Western diplomats not ruling out retribution from outraged Ukrainian citizens.
TASS has compiled the key SVR statements.
Western diplomatic missions in Kiev "are noting the increasing negative impact for Ukraine from the 'Mindich-Zelensky case,' which involves the entire Ukrainian leadership, including Vladimir Zelensky himself."
"Citizens of Ukraine, many of whom have suffered the loss or injury of relatives and friends, are beginning to realize that for the leaders of the Kiev regime, the war has long become an instrument for unchecked theft of the generous financial aid provided by the West."
