Zelensky Sanctions His Ex-Spokeswoman Yulia Mendel, Who Revealed to the World the ‘Open Secret’ of His Drug Abuse (VIDEOS)

Sanctioned and included in the Ukrainian ‘kill list’, Mendel is in the crosshairs of Kiev.

Yesterday (13), it arose that Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky sanctioned his former spokeswoman, Yulia Mendel.

Mendel has left Ukraine, and gone public with a torrent of detrimental information about her former boss, including the fact that Zelensky profits from the continuation of the war, and – what’s even worse – she dared talk about the ‘open secret’ of his drug abuse.

Reuters reported:

“Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed sanctions on a former press secretary on Sunday, accusing her and nine others of spreading Russian propaganda and of supporting Russia’s aggressive policy toward Ukraine.

Yulia Mendel — who worked with Zelenskiy from 2019 to 2021, before Russia’s invasion — responded with a message on Facebook saying it was unconstitutional to impose sanctions on Ukrainian citizens. She did not comment on the specific accusations.

[…] The sanctions — announced by Zelensky in a decree — would last for 10 years and included asset freezes and restrictions on trade, the document read.”

A few days before my address to the European Parliament, Volodymyr Zelenskyy—my former boss—imposed sanctions on me. Sanctions against Ukrainian citizens are unconstitutional, just like many of Zelenskyy’s other decisions. Volodymyr Zelenskyy uses them against anyone who…

We have reported on Mendel’s allegations – specially the ones made on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, where she opened up about a slew of scandals, including the taboo reports regarding his alleged abuse of drugs, notably cocaine.

RT reported back in May:

“Mendel worked for Zelensky from 2019 to 2021 and has since become highly critical of her former boss. In an interview released on Monday, Carlson asked whether Zelensky used drugs, to which Mendel replied: ‘This is an open secret’.

‘The thing is that I’ve never seen him taking drugs. However, [while] writing my book, I met a lot of people who confirmed that they saw him taking drugs in different clubs. Only one saw him taking drugs in 2021’, she claimed. Mendel added that she learned about an alleged ‘supplier’ from a person working at Kvartal 95 Studio, the entertainment company Zelensky co-founded in the 2000s.

‘All these people are talking about cocaine, yes’, Mendel said, adding that before interviews, Zelensky had a habit of spending 15 minutes in the bathroom and emerging as a ‘different person’.”

Watch: Mendel talks about Zelensky drug abuse.

Right after her revelations, Mendel was added to the Myrotvorets database, popularly know as the Ukrainian ‘kill list’.

Interfax Ukraine reported:

“Among the reasons cited for her inclusion on the list are participation in acts of humanitarian aggression against Ukraine, dissemination of Russian propaganda narratives, manipulation of socially significant information in the interests of the Russian aggressor, calls for Ukraine’s capitulation to the Russian-fascist invaders, as well as indirect participation in Russia’s information and psychological special operations against Ukraine on the part of the Russian aggressor and pro-Russian lobbying groups in the United States.

In particular, during an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, Mendel called President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘one of the main obstacles to peace’, and also stated that Ukraine is ‘on the verge of disappearing’ and is ‘declining’, while alleging manifestations of ‘unhealthy nationalism’ in the country. She added that during negotiations with Russia in 2022, Ukraine had allegedly been ready to surrender Donbas.”

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a tragedy for Ukraine.
