Investigative journalist Hristo Grozev of Bellingcat said that Russia has spent billions of dollars since 2014 on a network of pro-Russian politicians and opinion leaders in Ukraine, but they scammed them for money.
He shared the epic failure of the FSB of Russia on the air of the Youtube channel “To be continued”.
“…we are talking about billions of dollars, not rubles. It was spent from the 14th year until today. It was 150-160 highly paid FSB officers. Each of them had an unlimited budget to recruit Ukrainians of any level,” says investigative journalist.
According to him, in the end, the agents did not work: “And here even these Ukrainian agents who took the money scammed them. They just scammed them.”
“Coup d’état” in Ukraine – what is known
Recall that back in November 2021 last year, during a press marathon, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he had information about the preparations in Ukraine for a coup d’état with the participation of “representatives of Russia”. Among the potential dates, 1-2 December were mentioned.
The chairman of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, did not rule out that over time the situation with the state coup would become the subject of a closed meeting of the Security Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Why is called “Platform for Life” anyway? Here in the United States, “Pro-Life” is about opposition to pregnant women getting abortions. Surely it means something else there, right?
An explanation would take us back to 2013 when the opposition party (Russians) called itself “Regions”. Then the Euromaidan revolution happened and the leader of the Regions Party (Yanukovych) was driven from the presidency out of fear from the protesters.
As with most Leftists, they change the name but don’t change the ideas. So now the Regions Party call themselves Opposition Platform for Life. Its like putting lipstick on a pig, you are still left kissing a pig. And in true Russian form everything is cynical and they project what they are doing. So instead of being honest about being pro-death of Ukrainians they claim to be pro-life of Russians in Ukraine.
Ah thank you for that. You’re right, just because something is prettied up on the surface, skin-deep changes don’t change the nature of the beast itself. It seems like Ukraine as a country has been definitely trying hard to change from the old soviet bloc, and should be supported for that. Anything else is going back to the self-poisoning of marxism.
The mafiosi can’t get anything right!
So, who got bribed and where is the money? This could be used to help Ukraine fight this war.
