Destabilizer and serves the oligarchs: Zelenskyy lectured Shuster

During a press marathon, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized journalist Savik Shuster, stating that he serves the oligarchs and is one of the destabilizers of the situation in Ukraine.

Answering Shuster’s question, Zelenskyy noted that Rinat Akhmetov’s entourage is dragging him into a war against Ukraine and the president.

«You may serve the oligarchs unknowingly, Savik, I’m not blaming you, but you do serve them. You come out and speak. There are many manipulations. I’m not blaming you, but you are one of the destabilizers in Ukraine. You take one topic, energy — the state has not purchased coal, etc., you know what thermal generation is. The state owns less than private structures do. The responsibility for purchases lies with private structures. This should be a collaborative effort. If I negotiate at the highest level with the US to have 11 ships with coal come here, if I say, «give it to us, but not to DTEK». This is called «united efforts». Yet, just yesterday on your channel, I saw: «There is nothing», «Not ready», «Not purchased». This is a war, it’s hard to negotiate for this coal. Previously, it was imported from Russia», the president noted.

The head of state also stated that the constant shaking of the situation within Ukraine happens, among other things, thanks to Shuster as a journalist.
