Yulia Mandel, who previously served as the president's press secretary, addressed the alleged accusation of treason brought up by Ukraine. She saw these actions as a persecution of freedom of expression and declared a lack of cooperation with Russia. According to Mendel, the basis for the suspicion was her speech in the Western media and publications on social networks. In particular, we are talking about allegations of corruption in Vladimir Zelensky's circle, lack of freedom of expression and political persecution. "In fact, by raising this suspicion, Zelensky proved me right," she wrote.
