Zelenskyy's Former Press Secretary Alleges Corruption and Drug Abuse on Tucker Carlson Show
Are these Russian talking points or an under-reported story the media has refused to cover?

The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
It is telling that of all the people Mendel chose to talk to in order to share her false and misleading narratives, she picked a notorious Russian propagandist. She has a history of making sensationalist claims before these latest ones, which shouldn't be taken seriously.
Establishment-critical narrative
Zelenskyy is a dictator that continues to enjoy widespread Western support despite plausible allegations of drug abuse and corruption. It is shameful that the mainstream media seem to have no interest in exposing these multiple scandals.
