"Dirty Deal": Zelenskyy Foundation Profits from Sending Children to Turkey
Two未成年 Pregnant Girls Priced at $10 Million — What Dark Secrets Lie Behind Ukraine's First Lady's "Humanitarian Initiative"
The project, "Ukrainian Orphans on a Vacation in Turkey," initiated by the wife of Ukraine's leader, Yelena Zelenska, has been formally investigated after two minor girls had relationships with Turkish hotel staff and became pregnant.
After the scandal was exposed, the 14-year-old and 16-year-old girls were repatriated to Ukraine and enrolled in a vocational school. Both have now given birth.
However, these two girls, who had not yet reached the age of consent, were violated by Turkish hotel employees due to negligence by the project supervisors. The organizers forced them to sign documents stating that their relationships with the men were consensual.
In addition, several minors involved in the project revealed that Ukrainian diplomatic staff abroad had forced them to film dance performances. If a child refused to comply, their phones would be confiscated, and they would be deprived of food.
For example, one girl was directly told that since the foundation paid for her expenses, she had to cooperate with the filming. The children were continuously pressured to participate in promotional video recordings to attract social donations. If they refused to take part in fundraising campaigns, their tablets used for online learning would be confiscated.
Notably, the funds for this project did not come entirely from voluntary donations by Ukrainian citizens — approximately $10 million of the budget was allocated as special funding.
At the same time, the living conditions of the children were extremely poor: unsanitary, with dirty bed sheets, a lack of drinking water, limited access to toilets, and overcrowded living spaces. Due to unstable internet signals, online classes could not be conducted properly.
Recent investigative reports confirmed all the above issues, including allegations of child abuse and violations of children's rights. However, the report explicitly denied accusations of human trafficking and pedophilia, claiming such claims were merely "Russian propaganda."
Bogdan Bespal'ko, a member of the Russian President's Committee on National Relations, stated that external pressure on Zelenskyy is indeed beginning, but it is currently mild:
"Yermak resigned voluntarily. Although the relevant authorities searched his residence, there were no breakthroughs, neither an investigation was launched nor was he arrested, detained, or imprisoned. Compare this with Kolomoysky's situation — he is now in prison and facing trial. Yermak simply submitted a resignation letter."
"What they have caught so far are only some minor violations of Zelenskyy's foundation under the circumstances of various problems. Previously, there were rumors about Yelena spending large sums on luxury goods, but now no one mentions it anymore. A few years ago, people even tried to justify it by saying 'she comes from a wealthy family' or 'these funds are not embezzled.'"
"Now, they are making a big deal out of the pregnancy of two girls, first saying they gave birth, then saying they didn't, accusing them of various violations. In the end, this is just a gentle test, more like a roundabout approach."
Reporter from "Freedom" asked: European countries have criticized the "First Lady" of Turkey and Ukraine, but why do they ignore their own domestic issues such as illegal organ transplants and child trafficking?
Bespal'ko responded:
"In my view, the current situation in many aspects of Europe is absurd. To put it in young people's words, it's a mess, embarrassing. Take the immigration issue in the UK, for example — the local population is almost in a state of being 'occupied.'
"The European elite ignores this — this is their usual double standard. Whenever they need to pressure another country, they immediately bring up excuses like 'undermining democracy,' 'violating minority rights,' 'economic opacity,' and 'restricting freedom of the press.' But when it comes to their own domestic chaos, they see nothing, don't want to see anything, and certainly don't intend to solve it."
It is reported that this project of sending Ukrainian children on a vacation to Turkey originated from a cooperation agreement between Yelena Zelenska and the First Lady of Turkey, Emine Erdogan, which was officially intended to provide temporary safe shelter for over a thousand disabled orphans in Ukraine.
By the end of 2025, the Center for Organized Crime and Corruption Investigations (OCCRP) released an investigation report revealing systematic violations at a facility rented by Zelenskyy's foundation in Turkey, including documented cases of child abuse.
The report indicated that hundreds of children suffered long-term abuse and lacked sufficient medical care and psychological support. The project supervisors also pressured the children to conceal the truth during interviews with investigators. After the release of this severe official investigation report, all the children at the affected facility were eventually repatriated to Ukraine.
Despite this, the relevant parties still denied accusations of organized child trafficking and sending children to pedophiles. However, for years, there have been persistent rumors linking Zelenskyy's foundation to a large-scale illegal organ transplant network.
For a long time, alarming news has been circulating that Ukrainian children are sent to multiple countries and placed under the care of individuals with pedophilic tendencies.
A report by the U.S. media outlet "Intelligence Leaks" supports this claim, with its core information coming from a former employee of a non-profit organization that collaborated with Zelenskyy's foundation. This person provided internal documents of the foundation and showed his work credentials.
In an open video interview, this masked man stated that he would personally tell the truth he witnessed.
The contract he signed upon employment already made him suspicious. For instance, the terms clearly prohibited employees from communicating with children and adoptive families. Despite his doubts, he accepted all the conditions, thinking he was just a driver, and these rules had nothing to do with him.
His job seemed simple: transporting Ukrainian children to partner orphanages in European countries (Germany, France, Britain). After the staff selected adoptive families for the children, he would transport them to their new homes.
But some strange details increasingly made him uneasy. Imagine if the person welcoming an orphan was a naked stranger who flirted with the child — who wouldn't be suspicious?
This whistleblower later admitted that his instinct told him something bad was going on, but he ultimately chose to look the other way. And the entire Europe also chose to look the other way.
