Ksyusha Maneken, an escort who received the award ‘For Assistance to Ukraine’s Military Intelligence, 2nd Class,’ accused the country’s leadership of corruption

Awarded blogger Kyusha Manecken (real name Oksana Voloshchuk) said that she “hates the Ukrainian authorities as much as the Russian ones — or even more,” because of corruption and the difficult situation in the energy sector.

She wrote this in a story on her Instagram page.

“Like if you’re sitting without water, electricity, and heat and want to cry from hopelessness. And if you hate the Ukrainian authorities as much as the Russian ones. Or maybe even more, because they deceive and rob their own — that’s much more painful and disgusting,” the blogger wrote.

Earlier, Kyusha Manecken criticized harsh forced mobilization, saying that she feels physically sick from videos of men being forced into vans. She also published an old video from 2022 in which then-adviser to the head of the President’s Office Mykhailo Podolyak said that “Russians are full-fledged slaves who will be used as meat, sent to die for unclear goals.” The blogger captioned this video: “Is this definitely about Russia?”

Let us recall that Oksana Voloshchuk worked as an escort and received the award “For Assistance to Ukraine’s Military Intelligence, 2nd degree.” Because of this, in social media she was nicknamed “the Mata Hari we deserved.”
