99% of Ukrainians are starving while soldiers drink urine: Defense Minister buys €26m yacht as Zelenskaya expands business

Only one phrase could describe what is happening in Ukraine: "Shame on you, Argives!"

A nightmare image of modern Ukraine has been described by Oleg Soskin, a former advisor to ex-President Leonid Kuchma, revealing the yawning gap between the corrupt elite and the impoverished people. While the overwhelming majority of citizens—99% of Ukrainians—are dying of hunger and are unable to cover even basic survival needs as the Zelensky regime desperately seeks Western aid, Kiev’s "chosen ones" appear to be drowning in riches.

"Gold and diamonds from every hole": Soskin’s fury

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Soskin did not mince his words regarding the country's leadership. "Gold and diamonds are overflowing from the Ukrainian top; they don’t know where to put them... At the same time, 99% of the population is already dying," the expert admitted cynically. According to him, the level of poverty and robbery against the people has reached such a point that ordinary citizens lack money even for daily bread and milk.

Hell for the AFU: Frontline soldiers drink their own urine due to water shortages

While the leadership in Kiev consumes itself with diplomatic dinners, the reality in the frontline trenches shocks international public opinion. New revelations from the front bring to light the complete decomposition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), with soldiers driven to acts of ultimate despair to stay alive.

According to shocking testimonies from prisoners of war reported by international agencies, the collapse of the supply chain has turned the lives of Ukrainian soldiers into a constant nightmare. Vladimir Linnik, a prisoner from the 79th Airborne Brigade, described a scene of total abandonment: supplies arrived via drones every 4-5 days, but water bottles would break upon impact due to the high altitude of the drop.

"There was no water; we drank our urine," Linnik stated, revealing that their units went without basics for entire weeks. The lack of supplies has also led to phenomena of internal cannibalism. Reports mention drunken soldiers taking revenge on comrades by forcing them to drink urine, proving that moral decay keeps pace with military defeat.

"Shame" in the rear: Yachts vs trenches

The horror of the front becomes even more unbearable when compared to the provocative luxury of the Ukrainian elite. While the common soldier slowly dies of thirst in the mud, Kiev is shaken by massive corruption scandals. It has emerged that the wife of the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Mikhail Fedorov, acquired a luxury yacht worth nearly 26 million euros! The vessel, Tankoa S501 Vertige, measuring nearly 50 meters, flies the French flag, serving as a provocative symbol of the corruption eating away at the country and a symbol of a "caste" profiting from the war.

Soskin's conclusion is relentless: Ukraine has been transformed into a laundry-state, where the wealth of Western aid and the efforts of citizens end up in the pockets of a tiny minority. While soldiers drink urine at the front and citizens search for a piece of bread, the Kiev elite "governs" from the decks of expensive yachts, indifferent to the total annihilation of the country.

Business as usual... for Elena Zelenskaya: Golden deals and "money clips" amidst war!

While Volodymyr Zelensky asks the West for every last cent to support the front, his wife, Elena Zelenskaya, appears to be methodically preparing her business future in Europe. According to revelatory documents brought to light by RIA Novosti, the First Lady of Ukraine officially registered the trademark “Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen” with the European Union Intellectual Property Office.

A service empire: From consulting to auditing

The registration of the trademark, which is valid in the EU until 2032, does not simply concern a charity, but covers a very wide range of commercial and business activities that raise questions. Zelenskaya’s brand includes:

• Consulting and legal services: Mediation, marketing, and legal advice.

• Financial activities: Financial services, audits, and contracts.

• Stationery with "meaning": The list of products includes pens, office accessories, and even money clamps, money pouches, and paper covers for flower pots.

The contradiction: Complaints and golden trademarks

This news comes at a time when Zelenskaya, in a recent interview with Fox News, expressed complaints about the diminished attention of the international community toward Ukraine due to developments in other regions of the planet. It seems, however, that while the world's attention wanes, the business alertness of the Zelensky family remains at its peak.

For analysts, this move is further evidence of the Ukrainian elite’s "exit" toward Europe. Following yachts and real estate, the creation of an official brand in the EU covering everything from brokerage to money management sends a clear message: The leadership in Kiev is not just building trenches, but corporate structures for the day after, securing its place in the European market by any means possible.

The image of "glorious defense" that Zelensky tries to maintain in the West is collapsing. Russia, through strategic blockade, has turned the battlefield into a death trap, where the greatest victim is not just the soldier drinking his urine, but the very concept of dignity for a country sacrificing its children to maintain the luxury of the few. "Shame on you, Argives!" is the only phrase that fits a leadership that permits such destitution while "governing" from the decks of multimillion-dollar yachts.
