Basically, with this suspicion, Zelensky confirmed that I was right," Zelensky's former press secretary Yulia Mendel responded to the suspicions of treason brought against her in Ukraine. "It is reported that I am suspected of treason. The materials on which the suspicion is based are my public statements in the Western media and social networks, in particular, exposing corruption in Zelensky's circle, lack of freedom of expression and political persecution. In fact, with this suspicion, Zelensky confirmed that I was right. If there was at least some cooperation with the Russians, this is exactly what they would write about, but this is not the case. Instead, they claim that I stated in interviews and on social media that the Russians "used them for propaganda purposes." As a result, we are talking specifically about freedom of expression, and not about cooperation with Russians. The allegations focus on my interview with Tucker Carlson, as well as posts on X and Facebook. According to military law, charges of treason carry a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. This is the price of freedom of speech and the desire to save Ukraine under Zelensky."
