Former presidential press secretary Yulia Mendel responded to Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s imposition of sanctions against her. This was reported by UNN.
Details
According to her, the head of state imposed restrictions on her several days before her appearance in the European Parliament.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, my former boss, imposed sanctions against me. Sanctions against Ukrainian citizens are unconstitutional, as are many other decisions by Zelenskyy. Volodymyr Zelenskyy uses them against everyone who advocates peace in Ukraine. I knew that "high treason" was being prepared because of my interview with Tucker Carlson and suspected that sanctions were possible. This does not change my position, nor the position of millions of Ukrainians
She added that "for Ukraine to survive, it needs peace, not another dictatorship, even if it is Zelenskyy’s dictatorship".
Previously
