Olena Zelenska, wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, traveled to Paris France for a three-day visit December 12-14. As reported by Le Monde, “Members of the Ukrainian government will also come, including Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, and several ministers in charge of reconstruction, including Yulia Svyrydenko (economy), Oleksandr Kubrakov (infrastructure) and German Galushchenko (energy).”
However, social media has erupted today after a “reliable store clerk” working on the ritzy Avenue Montaigne, has reported that Olena Zelenska went on a Christmas shopping spree spending €40,000 euros in an hour. (citation) Previously President Zelenskyy’s wife was received by French first lady Bridget Macron.
If the reporting is accurate, the spending spree comes at a bad time optically, as Mrs. Zelenska’s husband Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is simultaneously asking the European Union to provide more financial support for the embattled country.
Additionally, the Biden administration is trying to push congress to pass another $38 billion spending package for Ukraine to bring the total spent well over $100 billion.
Mrs. Zelenskyy Christmas shopping in glitzy Paris stores and dropping €40,000 while her husband bangs his tin cup isn’t exactly a good look.
I hope the store clerk has a body guard.
Or two or three…
In the meantime, I’m wrapping spare change and wondering how I got to this point.
Damn you have extra change? must be nice.
So glad they let everyone know!
Irrelevant as they’ll just take a convenient nap at the appointed time, along with all of the security cameras – they need naps too apparently.
And a food taster
The Ukrainian “leaders”are buying homes in European hot spots with our money- why is anyone shocked? All these “leaders” are immoral thugs who only care about getting theirs..Ms Zelenskyy didn’t have a second thought about dropping 40,000 euros shopping in designer stores in Paris, then attending a dinner at night pleading poverty. I wonder if Joe paid Taxes on his 10% of the lucre from Hunter’s business deals- I’d bet he didn’t even think about it- Taxes are only for “the little people”.
DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT OF COMMENTS!!!
She spent 40,000 Euros in ONE HOUR! She and the other officials are there for FOUR DAYS!
As terrible as it sounds for her, alone, to spend this much in ONE HOUR, DO NOT LET THE NARRATIVE BECOME THAT SHE SPENT THAT MUCH DURING THE ENTIRE TRIP!
Precisely!
Grace Mugabe also went on a similar shopping spree.
Not surprising.
War has been exceedingly rewarding for the Zelenskys, and their fellow piggies at the trough.
From being a poor entertainer to a billionaire in the blink of an eye…
Huh. He wasn’t just a poor entertainer.
I thought he was a pianist?
I think you mean penist.
Hoping he will soon tickle the keyes at a penal institution.
So did the wife of Jeb Bush. And she failed to claim her $40k in Chanel suits to customs on her way back to FL.
A show of power?
A fraud and his charade are soon parted..
I eagerly anticipate the moment that the Zelenskyys and their neocon co-conspirators give me occasion to celebrate a bit of…wait for it…fraudencharade.
Hope I don’t have to explain that. Film at eleven!
LOL! No explanation is necessary!
Well that’s convenient… Technically it’s good vs evil…
Your daily dose of natural disasters and amazing phenomena for December 14, 2022…For her? Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik before and after getting her hands on foreign billions. Pretty obvious where she spent her first payout on…
https://strangesounds.substack.com/p/well-thats-convenient-technically
Thus to fascists & tyrants.
Maybe …Now… After hearing/reading about this sort of BS, folks will “wake the hell up.”….
That gas station looks familiar…
Could it be Mill Valley?
Ahh the good old days…
When the common people actually held leaders accountable instead of worrying about mean tweets and gender pronouns.
we are paying the “pensions” of retired Ukraine government workers
I read somewhere yesterday that the B family has offshore accounts. That has to be correct because I checked their net worth (her and him) and it isn’t as much as one would think so they are probably hiding it somewhere.
Hey, come on, man! The Vuitton suitcase bombs were on sale.
Silent night.
I’m sure that she is buying essentials to support the war effort and to alleviate the hardships of the populace.
Reminds me of Imelia Marcos shoe closet. Imagine Russian television airing the contents or Olenas closet to the citizens of Ukraine. While they freeze.
Thats surely coming now.
Olena Zelenky is saying, “Let them eat cake”, to the poor, freezing Ukrainians.
In the pic above… ^^ Some, “Just desserts” for some it seems, for their doins, while the rest of the folks suffered… but I think maybe folks were a bit more impatient with such things long ago.
I await such doings now a days… Don’t know if folks are as tough now as they used to be back then though…
Not at all surprised, but completely pissed at Olena’s brazenness.
When presstitutes travel in packs, they’re not afraid…🤬
“Mrs. Zelenskyy Christmas shopping in glitzy Paris stores and dropping €40,000 while her husband bangs his tin cup isn’t exactly a good look.”
Given the previous “bad looks” involved in this giant fraud, I don’t think POTATUS, or anyone in DC for that matter, care about looks.
The continued support of VP What’s-Her-Face and Sen. Fetterneck are exhibits A and B that they really don’t care about optics anymore, Your Honor.
Exhibit C is Katie Hobbs—let the record show…
Merry Christmas!
щасливого Різдва
Веселого Різдва та щасливого та дуже багатого Нового року

Just when I think the elites can’t sink any lower they always surprise me.
I sure would feel a lot better about this story (and others like it) if the reliable sources had provided some documentation. Perhaps he has and it will be revealed later. Either way the optics are bad….very bad.
You’re reading a story at CTH. What source are you looking for?
Our tax money being put to good use
The French will go nuts about this. They can’t afford heat because of Biden and Zelenski.
Meanwhile
Brexit’s critics are strangely quiet about the European parliament scandal
The corruption scandal embroiling the European parliament and the European Union’s institutions at the highest level is shaping up to be its biggest to date. Belgian police have arrested Eva Kaili, a vice-president of the parliament, and three others in an investigation into alleged bribes involving spectacular sums in cash, allegedly from Qatar, to influence EU officials and parliamentary voting.
‘The shockwave of ‘Qatargate’ is Le Monde’s take on a story it says threatens to ‘destabilise Europe’s institutions’. This isn’t an exaggeration: the probe ripples out to the whole progressive ecosystem surrounding the parliament. Among the suspects, according to the BBC, is former MEP Pier Antonio Panzeri, who now manages the human rights group Fight Impunity. The European parliament has scheduled an emergency debate and has already stripped Kaili of her roles, which involved relations with the Middle East.
https://spectator.com.au/2022/12/brexit8217s-critics-are-strangely-quiet-about-the-european-parliament-scandal/
Those institutions should be destabilized and dismantled. I wonder if some of that Qatari cash found its way into the coffers of FIFA?
Very interesting article. Do you suppose Macron’s recent visit to Potatus was supposed to raise his image in France and the EU? At last, some relief for Victor Orban after being shunned by the EU and their “tools” to make him and his country suffer.
Don’t we really own a portion o what she bought with OUR money? I want to see what we bought.
She probably bought one purse and one pair of high heels.
History can repeat itself
G U I L L O T I N E
Our self – proclaimed “betters” have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.
😏
https://www.bitchute.com/video/AJrlNRFDoOCb/
After every bloody reconning throughout history, ordinary genteel folk, heave a collective sigh of relief, and confidently proclaim “this was the final act of brutality to end all injustices”, quickly followed by “It will never happen again”.
War is hell.
Olena Zelenska to the EU population and the people of the USA: “Let them eat cake.”
Someone (in Paris) once said, Let them eat cake, but she lost her head.
She must me laughing her a$$ off every time she goes on these huge spending sprees.
Since it’s our tax dollars paying for all the garbage she buys.
It’s a tradition.
Wives of the world’s various leaders, er rulers lavishly spend other peoples money on themselves. Particularly from that big pot of foreign aid.
50 former United States senior intelligence officials have signed onto a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of a extravagant shopping spree by Zelenskyy’s wife “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Case closed straight from the horse’s asses and their mouthpieces in the media. 😉
FTX dark money recipients ?
It ain’t dark if we all see it.
You will know them by their fruits, and they will be “rewarded” accordingly.
“ I only was thinking about our hero Ukrainian soldiers and thought these gifts would lift their spirits” . Of course they were not for me. U think I am a selfish monster?
Imagine what the other wives, not so well known, also spent during this spree?
Was watching Russian drones that can drop munitions on individual, frontline soldiers while they lie in trenches, even down hand grenade sized air vents into bunkers. There is nowhere to safely hide. The combat stress must be off the charts.
Crazy what people will put up with… almost as bad as stolen elections.
Exactly my point above! Show me women with unlimited free money, who are in a SHOPPING Mecca, who go to only one store and only shop one hour! Then, factor in all the other administrators and officials, and their families that accompanied her, because they are all in on the largess at our expense. Remember, we are paying for the government salaries!
I’m okay with this if she was buying her husband something to wear besides those tacky green undershirts. /sarc
What would be far more interesting would be for us to know the percentage kickback money that is coming back to the Biden regime. 10% of 100 billion dollars is a Hell of a lot of money. The ice cream feeding repurposed corpse in the white house is likely getting his 10%. After all, he is the big guy!
Ukraine, always the slush fund for our politicians, both parties!
When I think of Hunter getting $83 thousand per month for a couple of years, and it’s only a pittance of what he got from CHY-na, it is revolting! We, the People are sick of it!
Quelle surprise! They are Eurotrash.
At least she didn’t steal the stuff from a luggage carousel.
And you win the Internet this evening!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Please submit this claim in Kyiv by December 25 to receive y0ur prize, payable in heavy metals.
do not be so sure…
Quite likely this is one of the more honorable uses for the money going to Ukraine
In the picture with the Nazi leader holding his pinky and ring finger and middle finger signifying 3 is how Germans request 3.
How can an everyday Ukrainian actor amass over a billion and a half (more by now) in bank accounts scattered around the globe and have multiple million dollar mansion in Miami and the Italian gulf coast which he rented to Russians allow his wife to fly out of country ?
Where are the, “Inglorious Basterds” when ya need them?
😉
IF the situation was as DIRE as they claim to their People and Nation, Olena Zelenskyys has to be a Sociopath to do that.
Regardless of the situation, this is a purely European problem, they should deal with it on all fronts.
We MUST avoid this quagmire before it turns into a World War. Then again we have a Sociopath as Resident POTATO.
It would have ended many months ago if the Biden regime did not give them $100 billion of our taxpayer money!
Don’t forget Boris Johnson and Tony Blinken making their trips to Z.
Right when Z. wanted to negotiate peace.
That’s what I don’t get. He was not always the president of Ukraine. He was a very popular entertainer. That takes a lot of hard work.
He was already relatively well off compared to others in that country. He also was possibly involved in financial grift which made him very wealthy.
Mansions in Florida don’t cost that much.
What are the odds that two people who met a long time ago, and already had money, both were sociopaths willing to start World War Three? What more do they have to gain?
What they are doing is dangerous? Why?
Somehow knowing how our money’s being spent doesn’t ease the sting of having been robbed of it.
And what percent is the
Big Guy’s take?
A specially designed pair of trousers that he can’t put on backwards.
LMAO 😀
Combine the fraud of Ukraine with the fraud of the RNC. Sick. And then add in the fraud of the DNC. But you also have to add in the multi Trillion Gazillion $ fraud of Big Pharma. And BigTech. Don’t forget MIC. And Intel Agencies. and … on and on. The Transfer of Wealth has been staggering since .. day one. How long can this last?
Going forward, I wonder how this ends for us Peons? End game is .. when? Weeks? Months? Years? Decades?
EXCLUSIVE: Analysis of RNC Spending Since 2017 Shows Millions Were Spent on Private Jets, Limousines, Luxury Retreats, Broadway Shows, and More

There could be a reasonable exchange rate setting up between (gold, silver, etc.) and just plain ol’ lead-and-brass if this continues for much longer. It may even be CBDC-resistant.
The Republicans sit back and see Americans forcibly transitioned to bicycles and life-threateningly cold homes, and pretend they don’t see it.
Me thinks that Zelensky is blackmailing this administration for more and more billions for him to keep quiet about all the Deep State corruption.
I think he has the goods on lots of Senators so they are going along with giving him what he wants.
Maybe he has the proof that US has those biolabs in Ukraine and is ready and poised to provide it.
He owns the laundromat.
SINCE OUR IDIOT PRESIDENT STARTED GIVING IT TO HIM……
Wonder how they are going to “spin” this in the media here. Probably a “blackout” of the story.
Macron is going to have a lot of explaining to do to the French people on why he keeps sending arms and money to Ukraine. Heck…all of the EU countries will have to explain to their people.
All the Ukraine TV is under State Control. The people will find out and then let’s see what happens…….
Heartless-to know that people in your country are suffering and dying-and to do something like this…..no words.
Russia has said there will be No cease fire during the Holidays.
I would not be sad to see wherever Zelensky is staying be delivered some “flowers” for Christmas.
Another thing- we make way too much of this “First Lady” thing. It’s largely a creation of the American media. In most of the rest of the world, the wife of the president or whatever is no big deal, as it should be here too.
So, people will not be as willing to accept this flaunting of unearned wealth and privilege, because they have not been conditioned to accept it.
Wouldn’t bet on that!
Have already seen some videos from Ukraine..people are already quite peeved.
A few people have been brave enough to speak up…risking 15 yr. prison sentences and a visit from SBU in doing so…
Yeah… Ukraine muh Democracy /s
10% for The Big Guy?
Not too shabby …
“ Why are those peasants in the USA upset over this? Don’t they know we now have tens of billions in our personal accounts to spend as we see fit. “ – Zelensky
Anyone who still thinks Zelensky is the “good guy” is a complete moron! Unfortunately I know a lot of morons.
scratch a Dimm/commie/GOPe and you will find one
Careful there Margie lest you, like myself, will be labeled as a card carrying member of the Putin lovers club 😉
I’m just thinking that he isn’t the actual bad guy. That yes he’s bad, but they go to ridiculous lengths to try to pretend he’s in charge, he’s running the whole show.
He does not have the background, it’s that simple. Have we ever seen a president standing in rubble in a war zone, in green clothes, going over maps with military personnel?
Who hired this man? What motivated him to do this? Is someone blackmailing the blackmailer? Who are we dealing with?
Zelensky is the –King of green screens.
He has been been busted so many times for his “productions”.
This is outrageous! Our leaders are not going to be happy about this. Clearly she is skimming money that is supposed to be being laundered BACK to AMERICAN politicians.
The penchant for poisoning by polonium attached to the reputation of how Vladimir Putin deals with people who’ve crossed swords with him informs us that both Mr and Mrs zielinski will be looking over the shoulders forever although I believe that forever won’t be that long. They can run but I doubt that they’ll be able to hide forever.
If I were Zelensky, I would be much more concerned about the Nationalists in his military than of any Russian, no matter how much is invented by western media about them.
Zelensky walks by the grace of the DoS.
I’m not surprised. Only a matter of time. Grifters always show their hand eventually
What a contrast, pictures of dark, cold apartment buildings with no heat, water, or electricity in Kiev, Lvov, Odessa compared to this “elite” warm in Paris, shopping for Christmas, spending 40,000 euros in an HOUR. The MoD Russia report 12/14 says there were 290 Ukrainian casualties.
How dare Zelensky (pretending in a t-shirt to be ordinary while his wife shops exclusive Paris stores) beg for more of my tax dollars? Or the US government print more inflationary fiat money for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin?
As Tucker Carlson said, “It’s just a grotesque post-modern psy-op, and anyone still falling for this is brain damaged.”
Just think all the tax money they take out of paycheck to give these people the money you earned and you are struggling to buy food,pay bills and there isn’t even enough for that.
Millions of people throughout France and the rest of Western Europe are suffering without heat, electricity or financial security in a widespread sacrifice SUPPOSEDLY to assist a “struggling” Ukraine. No wonder the store clerks in Paris resent Zelensky’s wife throwing money around adorning and indulging herself like money is nothing.
This is the same kind of callous indifference Marie Antoinette made infamous right before the bloody French Revolution. The people of Western Europe might soon be dragging the guillotines out of storage to remind Ukraine’s first lady they won’t suffer in silence while she spends the hard-earned money of the peasants like she’s entitled royalty.
The Pope was weeping for the Nazi Ukrainians.
As they say, “If you got it, flaunt it.” Seems pretty obvious, these people are just rubbing it in our faces.
Have any Republican politicians raised their voices against the reckless squandering of money on Ukraine?
Those who have not are as corrupt as the Democrat politicians. Time to boot them all out.
Reminds me of your cousin who borrows money to pay his rent and then shows up at your door wearing an expensive new suit to thank you…
… or the brother-in-law who borrows money so he can purchase his kid’s new shoes for the winter and he shows up to offer his thanks in a sleek new sports car.
Cheap third world dictators (and small-time comedians) will always use money they borrow as “found money” to be spent on whatever personal luxury they see fit.
FJB, screw Congress and the Zelinsky horse they rode in on.
The Ukrainian thieves are laughing all the way to the bank.
Your tax dollars hard at work.
Did the Big Guy get his 10%?
Joe now gets 15%, inflation you k now!
Question … are the Zelenskas the Ukrainian version of the Clintons or Bidens ?
Even the Bidens and the Clintons count the silverware again, after the Zelenskys were over for dinner.
The Arafats.
Uh-huh!
Brothers by other mothers.
Remember this….Old American Money does not care for upstarts.
Well we know Jill didn’t get her cut of haute couture fashion. Everything she wears looks cheap.
It is not cheap; look at the label. It’s how she dresses and presents herself.
She is a fan of, The Sound of Music.
Therefore, the White House keeps replacing the drapes!
