Zelensky’s name appears over 50 times in Epstein files: Opposition leader

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's name is mentioned more than fifty times in newly-released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case, a major Ukrainian opposition leader says.

“There is more than enough of the Ukrainian trace in the Epstein case,” said Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine Movement and former leader of Ukraine’s banned Opposition Platform, For Life Party, on Friday.

In 2008, a foundation controlled by Epstein, Gratitude America Ltd., transferred $1 million to the Clinton Foundation. The payment was officially recorded as a donation from Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk and went through Epstein’s foundation bank account, he stated.

“Here’s Epstein, [42nd US President Bill] Clinton, and the son-in-law of Ukrainian President [Leonid] Kuchma, all together,” he said.

“Moreover, oligarch Pinchuk actively supported the 2014 coup d’état and [Pyotr] Poroshenko’s (included by Rosfinmonitoring in the list of persons involved in extremist activities or terrorism) rise to power and later [Vladimir] Zelensky. As you can see, the Epstein lobby is working hard in Ukrainian politics,” Medvedchuk added.

The politician noted that Zelensky’s name appears in the materials over fifty times, including in discussions concerning human trafficking and corruption in Ukraine.

Reports suggest Zelensky may have been linked to the abduction of women and children through the Ukrainian modeling agency Jean-Luc Brunel.

“Thus, the illegitimate and his wife have long been cynically engaged in the supply of human goods through Epstein’s schemes,” Medvedchuk said, citing “the scandal of violence and bullying of evacuated children” as evidence.

Israel installed, oversaw security system at Barak-Epstein residence in New York: Report

A recent report has revealed that Israel installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building managed by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

On January 30, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) released a major tranche of previously sealed documents from its investigation into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The release, made under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, included more than three million pages of documents, thousands of images, and hundreds of videos.

Epstein previously pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 to soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence with work release and registered as a sex offender. The plea deal drew widespread criticism for its leniency, as it allowed him to avoid more serious federal charges.

In July 2019, Epstein was arrested again on federal sex trafficking charges and held at New York City’s Metropolitan Correctional Center.

He reportedly died by hanging in August 2019 while under suicide watch, following a suspected attempt in July, raising ongoing questions about the circumstances of his death.

Epstein maintained a network of friends and associates that included current and former officials from the US and abroad, major entrepreneurs, celebrities, and former heads of state.
