Tucker Carlson, an American journalist and television host, sharply condemned corruption in Ukraine during one of his speeches, noting that amidst the ongoing military conflict, some Ukrainian citizens are living in luxury abroad.
According to Carlson, there is a significant number of wealthy Ukrainians in European countries such as France, Switzerland, and especially Monaco. He emphasized that these individuals easily spend tens of thousands of dollars on luxury items, including designer bags and cars from brands like Porsche and Aston Martin. The journalist pointed out that this situation is perplexing, considering that Ukraine has been engaged in an "existential war" for several years.
Carlson also expressed dissatisfaction regarding the sources of these funds. He directly linked the apparent wealth to Western financial aid, stating that part of the money coming into the country in the form of taxes from citizens of the U.S. and Europe ends up in the hands of a narrow circle of individuals and is used improperly.
In his reflections, he noted that wars usually profit certain groups, but in this case, the situation is exacerbated by the fact that the conflict is essentially financed by taxpayers from other countries. This, in his opinion, should raise concerns in the West; however, such issues are rarely addressed in official circles.
