Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that, if British partners decide to tackle the issue with “dirty money” of Russian oligarchs in London, Kyiv “will definitely support” London.
The comment came during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson following the talks in Kyiv on February 1, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“As for the ‘dirty money’ of the oligarchs in London, the Russian oligarchs, then, to be honest, we are yet to address our own oligarchs. They also have money in certain cities. I think that, if London takes these issues seriously, we will definitely support it because we ourselves are very serious about the issue of deoligarchization,” Zelensky said, answering the question of whether personal sanctions would help deter Russian aggression if they targeted ‘dirty money’ Russian oligarchs keep in London.
The head of state reminded that the Verkhovna Rada had passed a deoligarchization law, and stressed that “this is just the beginning of such a really difficult reform.”
Asked if preventive sanctions could stop Russia in its track of aggression and escalation, Zelensky said: “Let’s introduce them, and then we’ll see.”
As Ukrinform reported earlier, the prime ministers of Poland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom arrived in Kyiv on February 1.

Will Zelensky also start to fight the oligarchs in Ukraine, or are they free to continue the looting?
What do you think? Can you see Zelensky tossing Kolomoisky in prison?
Zelensky is a good statesman, but behind the scenes the corruption continues, and the only one tossed in prison is Petro Poroshenko.
Putlerite crooks in London cannot demonstrate that any of their money came about by honest means. That is an inescapable fact. However, we seem to have difficulty framing the appropriate legislation. Tough money laundering laws came in a long time ago, but they didn’t work. The same applies to all the other filthy crooks who have made London their base: izlamonazi vermin, Albanian mobsters (very violent bastards), Croatian mob, South American mobs, Roma organised thieves etc etc.
Same thing in America: the Sicilian mafia are still active, Russian mobs, putlerite crooks, oligarchs with vast property empires in Miami and New York etc etc.
Then you have the Monte Carlo and Cannes Russian mob. And so on.
Putin said today….i will even speak with mentally unstable people like Boris Johnson and other European leaders.
Yeah he’s a bit brave after finally meeting with Orban and suddenly everyone that doesn’t support his fascism is unstable. We understand what Russian stability is, it means freedom loving people die.
