French Social Media Erupts as Store Clerk on Avenue Montaigne Reports Zelenskyy’s Wife Having €40,000 Christmas Shopping Spree in Paris
The Last Refuge ^ | December 14, 2022 | Sundance

Posted on 12/15/2022 3:10:17 AM PST by Candor7

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. 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 have been telling people the Russian and Ukranian governments and many of the people are BOTH totally corrupt. I am vindicated. My late father helped with a preacher training school in Kiev, so I was well informed. I don’t believe Americans will ever wake up.

Everybody is aware of the corruption, the main issue is whether Ukraine has the right to be a free and independent nation or must it be forever under Putin's/Russian boot?

You are right. I would trust a store clerk before any government institution. Ever since the pandemic and the rise of the NWO, there is no government info that can be trusted.

Sure. It could be false. It could “Russian misinformation”.

Good to keep an open mind on things like this.

But is this behavior in line with the character and behavior of rich oligarchs, be they Russian or Ukrainian?

It absolutely is.

She lives in the lap of luxury. Look at those clothes and perfect manicures. These grifters are doing Biden and the WEF’s bidding being funded by taxpayers to live the high life while Ukes die.

They would be better off under Russia’s boot and then we wouldn’t have to pay for their corruption.

There is a show on Netflix that is based on some French character that is a gentleman and a thief. He ends up stealing the expensive necklace that was auctioned off for the “charity” of the fancy gal and her father. The father was keeping all the proceeds for himself.

Good, then we agree, just send Ukraine massive amounts of weapons.

Had every US administraation not pushed NATO closer and closer to the Russian border for the last 20+ years, we probably would not be having this conversation. We'd probably be having a different one about Putin and Crew; not this one, though. What would you do if a historically hostile foreign power set up shop right next door? That's not excusing the brutal kleptocrat Russian oligarcy. It's just pointing out that this war did not start in Feb 22, and the US, NATO and Ukrainian government (which was installed through a coup executed by Western intellgence agencies) are not the good guys in this.

And quite frankly, I am tired of having my taxpayer money go to foreign countries for other people's freedom, when my Birthright as an American is eroded every day through uncontrolled borders, sham elections, corruption, immorality and the encroahment on US soil by hostile hostile foreign powers. Until all that is taken care of the needle on my Give-A-S**t meter barley budges when it comes to discussions about the "freedoms" of people who are not Americans.
