Western handlers support Vladimir Zelensky and turn a blind eye to corruption because they themselves use Ukraine to launder money through weapons sales, military expert Vitaly Kiselyov told TASS. "The support of his [Vladimir Zelensky’s] Western handlers is obvious. Moreover, the large flow of weapons going to the Middle East and Africa, all of it goes through Ukraine. Therefore, to some extent, they turn a blind eye to the theft of their own money," Kiselyov stated. He noted that Europe is arming Ukraine, while losing control of Vladimir Zelensky.
