Tucker Carlson interviewed a former press secretary to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who worked in his administration from 2019 to 2021, in what she describes as a high-risk effort to expose the Ukrainian leader as an obstacle to peace. The whistleblower—who requested anonymity citing fears of imprisonment or assassination—alleges Zelensky is a cocaine-addicted malign narcissist who explicitly demanded 'Goebbels propaganda' from his staff, privately promised Putin in 2019 that Ukraine would never join NATO, and personally agreed to cede Donbas in the 2022 Istanbul peace negotiations before reversing course. She claims Zelensky's government is systematically corrupt, with the president approving money laundering schemes tied to social welfare budgets while pensioners die from cold and hunger. The insider describes Ukraine's population collapsing from 42 million to 25 million, with only 10 million working adults remaining, and alleges Zelensky uses the front lines as political punishment, sending critics to combat zones while maintaining the war to avoid 'political suicide.' She accuses Western leaders, particularly Boris Johnson and the Biden administration, of enabling Zelensky's dictatorial consolidation of power and prolonging a war Ukraine cannot win against a vastly larger Russia. The interview details pervasive repression including jailed parliamentarians, forced conscription via street kidnappings, canceled elections, and a culture of cancellation targeting artists, churches, and bloggers. She argues supporting Ukraine now requires pushing for an immediate peace deal, as the nation faces demographic and economic extinction.
The former Ukrainian government official revealed that Ukraine's population has collapsed from an official 42 million to approximately 25 million, with only an estimated 10 million working-age adults remaining. She describes pensioners living on $75-200 monthly in a country not cheap enough to survive on those sums, with some dying from cold and hunger.

Read this moment →The former press secretary describes a consistent pattern where Zelensky would emerge from 15-minute bathroom breaks before interviews transformed and energized. She says she met his cocaine supplier from the entertainment group 95th Quartal, and multiple sources over 20 years confirmed his cocaine addiction, though she never personally witnessed drug use.
