The beloved of the Russian Foreign Minister received UAE citizenship “for services to the state.”

The family of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has UAE passports , the Russian Anti-Corruption Foundation reported on the social network X.

It is noted that the lover of the Russian Foreign Minister, Svetlana Polyakova, received UAE citizenship “for services to the state.” Her daughter, Polina Kovaleva, became a UAE citizen in December 2022.

The Anti-Corruption Foundation added that before that, Kovaleva had lived in the United Kingdom for many years, where she owns luxury property worth 4.4 million pounds ($5.95 million).

“After the start of a full-scale war and the imposition of sanctions, she left Britain, got a job with Qatar Investment in Doha and received a new passport,” the Anti-Corruption Foundation reported.

  1. It is noted that the lover of the Russian Foreign Minister, Svetlana Polyakova, received UAE citizenship “for services to the state.”

    For American readers I will react very politely and say: For services to the state is a very discrete way of putting these services in words.
