He published on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) an image that shows a character with the face of Volodímir Zelenski. “When it’s been five minutes and you haven’t asked for a billion dollars in aid,” the caption reads.

Thus, the country’s Verkhovna Rada decided to respond to the billionaire with a similar meme, replacing the image and the text: “When five minutes have already passed and you have not yet spread Russian propaganda.” However, after a few hours, the post was deleted.

He also cast doubt on Ukraine’s victory, recalling that its population is three times smaller than Russia’s, and urged support for peace initiatives between the two states.
For its statements about the conflict in Ukraine, the controversial Ukrainian website Mirotvorets added the tycoon to its list, noting that the businessman supposedly “has contributed to Russian propaganda on more than one occasion.” However, his profile was on the website for 15 minutes, after which it was deleted.
