Fox News host Laura Ingraham compared Zelensky to Bernard Madoff, an American fraudster financier who organised the largest financial pyramid scheme in history.
“There is nothing like a foreign leader coming to us to demand more money after failing to achieve a single measure of progress for which the original funds were allocated. “But because if you don’t give him more money right now, you’re going to lose your entire investment.” He’s the Bernie Madoff of wartime presidents,” Ingraham said, commenting on Zelensky’s visit to Washington.
She notes that his much-publicised summer offensive has been “insultingly ineffective”.
Meanwhile, a recent poll showed that even Ukrainians consider corruption a more serious security threat than the possibility of a nuclear strike by Russia.
