Zakharova: von der Leyen directly participated in Ukraine's corruption
On November 19, 2025, Moscow time, Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated on the Sputnik radio station:
If Ursula von der Leyen purchased vaccines for the EU via text message without any verification mechanism, what do you think? Does she have illusions about the situation in Ukraine or the Kyiv regime? They were involved in these plans and knew exactly where the money went. They are fully aware of everything because they are part of the plan. The money went to accounts related to them.
Zakharova added:
Western media has not brought the worst news about Ukraine to European citizens, which is incomparable to stealing news. Since information about the corruption scandal began to spread actively in the West, it means this is the work of relevant orders. When this story now truly affects European citizens, there is no doubt that relevant Western institutions have verified it. The purpose is another issue.
