Zelensky was in the Pandora Papers so we know he has many millions in offshore bank accounts. His is supposed to have property in Miami, USA and a few other countries in addition to what was shown.But good to know his vacation property was only bought for 3.8 million Euros. He's actually a man of the people!

BS. He made his money before he ran for the presidency. He was a top satirical comedian and created one of Ukraine's most successful TV production studio and companies. Yes, he was a man of the people - he was so popular he won the run-off election by a landslide with 73% of the votes.

The male presenter of this video seems curiously smug - and that I found very off-putting. Also, the relentless sleight-of-hand of the clever female presenter of the video, as she swipes images confusingly around a very large screen, does not lend credibility to this report. After watching this ostensibly objective effort at dispelling mostly-Russian disinformation, I came to the (admittedly tentative) conclusion that it adds up to an attempt to refute Russian propaganda with pro-Zelensky propaganda.
France 24 is not the official Ukrainian press service
TLDR: all those luxury assets were truly owned by the comedian. Thanks for confirming. Despite that fact, you call it “fake news” because some Ukrainian official gave a lower price estimate.

It is fake news since the primary purpose is to suggest graft and he is being exorbitant "spending over $70million in Western aid to buy luxury houses!!!" Reality: Its about $4 million and bought before Russia invaded Ukraine, not a particularly outrageous some for one of the countries most successful TV personalities who owned his own production company before being elected President. Contrast that with actual corruption like Putin's gaudy gold foil billion dollar palace with his scaredy-cat underground hockey rink, or Ukraine's prior corrupt Russian stooge Yanukovych despite having no business spending his Russian kickback on a palace with gaudy copper roof and a private zoo, serving Russia's interests while making Ukraine the poorest country in Europe. It is funny to see Russia accusing other's of what it is doing but I guess that is part of Peskov's idols playbook.

Has he? Lets put it this way, Zelenskyy is basically a Politician, I don't know about you, but I have never met an honest, trustworthy Politician. So it would not surprise any of us, I am sure, if he has several, purchased with other Countries money, donated to the Ukraine cause and that have ended up in a lot of Politicians pockets. What Zelenskyy has done, since this War started, it going around the World with his begging bowl, asking for and receiving hundreds of millions....billions, which has been handled and dealt by through other Politician's, for the Ukrainian War effort, do we honestly believe that every single penny has gone to the cause? Behave. They have no doubt ALL taken their bit out of it all....that is what Politicians do and with no exceptions. I have been informed by people that have followed this from the start and are in the know, that $37b 665m, has been donated to Ukraine, for one cause or another, since all this started. I would love someone to tell me, with hand on heart, that Zelenskyy and Co have not skimmed off the top for themselves.
