A Russian newspaper revealed the extent of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's investments in Russia, which were previously disclosed by Ukrainian journalists in early 2019. According to the Russian newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda," it became clear that there are three Russian companies simultaneously selling films and series to TV channels "Daddy" and "Matchmakers," established by the founder of "Kvartal 95 Studio," Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky, the current Ukrainian president.
Moreover, these three companies were established by the Cypriot firm Green Family Ltd, which Ukrainian journalists also named as linked to Zelensky. It was noted that between 2014 and 2017 alone, Zelensky’s companies earned about 350 million hryvnias (approximately 12 million US dollars), with taxes paid in Russia, of course. When Ukrainian journalists revealed this information in investigative reports, Zelensky did not deny the claims, but "Servant of the People," as he and his party refer to themselves, justified the facts by stating, "How can I close these companies? There is a contract until 2021. From 2011 to 2021, we receive funds from them (payments for copyright use). We receive this money. What should we do? Close? Give our money to the Russians? Of course not."
Additionally, Zelensky owns a house worth 100 million Russian rubles (almost one million US dollars) in the Crimean Peninsula, which is under Russian control, and Russia demands Kyiv to recognize it as a Russian territory.
