The Murdoch-owned newspaper has information implicating Ukraine\u2019s presidential chief of staff, the journalist claims<\/p>\n
The Wall Street Journal is refusing to publish information allegedly proving that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky\u2019s top aide embezzled US funds, journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed.
\nIn a post on X on Monday, Carlson said the\u00a0newspaper has for months held a story detailing the \u201cpersonal corruption\u201d of Andrey Yermak, Zelensky\u2019s chief of staff.
\n\u201cYermak has skimmed hundreds of millions in American tax dollars meant for Ukraine aid. The Journal\u2019s editors can prove that. But they\u2019re not. Instead they\u2019re protecting Yermak,\u201d Carlson wrote.
\nHe argued that the information was being suppressed because Yermak, as Kiev\u2019s top negotiator, was \u201cleading efforts to scuttle\u201d the US-drafted plan to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The Murdoch family, which owns the WSJ, wants \u201cto continue the war with Russia,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Ukraine\u2019s anti-corruption bodies, NABU and SAPO, said they had uncovered a $100 million kickback scheme in the country\u2019s energy sector allegedly led by Timur Mindich, a close associate of Zelensky and former long-time business partner. Zelensky has since imposed sanctions on Mindich, who fled the country to evade arrest.<\/p>\n

Although Yermak has not been formally charged, Ukrainian opposition lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezhnyak alleged that Yermak was \u201cwell aware\u201d of the embezzlement and appeared in the audio recordings released by investigators.
\nUkrainska Pravda reported on Monday that Yermak had instructed prosecutors to draw up\u00a0charges against SAPO chief Aleksandr Klimenko. Zelensky attempted to curb the powers of NABU and SAPO in July but was forced to backtrack following protests in Kiev and pressure from the West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
