Mendel accuses Zelensky of trying to pass food crisis off as economic benefit

Former spokeswoman for Volodymyr Zelensky, Yulia Mendel, criticized his statement on the food situation in Ukraine, publishing a post on the social network X.

According to Mendel, Zelensky is trying to present a crisis situation as an economic advantage for the country. She laid out his logic in detail:

“Zelensky just told Ukrainians they shouldn’t worry about food shortages. His argument is that Russia has undermined Ukraine’s ability to export grain, so more grain will remain inside the country and bread will become cheaper. According to him, this means Ukraine will not face a food crisis,” the former spokeswoman noted.

Mendel described this approach as a characteristic feature of Zelensky’s policy — turning a disaster into an alleged economic benefit.

Earlier, British analyst Alexander Mercouris stated that the financial funds allocated by Europe to Zelensky are being absorbed into corruption schemes.
