Is the Olena Zelenska Foundation covering for sex trafficking?

After the Maidan coup, Ukraine has become a bonanza for criminals and grifters. One of the preferred ways to turn the suffering of Ukraine into money is by operating a NGO or charity in the country. A pro-western NGO will be showered with unaccountable money from it's patrons with little to no expectation of any real benefit. At their best, these NGOs serve as a conduit for western money laundering operations, but often they are a cover for something even more nefarious.

Of course, the Zelensky regime has been very active in this scheme. One of the premier NGOs in Ukraine is the Olena Zelenska Foundation, created and operated by Vladimir Zelensky's wife, Olena. Dedicated to "rebuilding the human capital of Ukraine", her foundation brings together the support of NATO governments and prominent pro-war westerners for the stated goal of helping Ukraine's children. But like so much in the bandit's paradise of post-Maidan Ukraine, this foundation may be little more than cover for a dark secret.

Recently, a French language video was released on Youtube by an account under the name of Robert Schmidt who claims to have been a driver for the Olena Zelenska foundation. The masked driver claims to have delivered children to the home of far-right French philosopher and filmmaker Bernard-Henry Levy, who greeted them while partly undressed. While the video does not contain any ironclad evidence, these may not be idle accusations. There are worrying links between the Zelenska foundation and the world of sex trafficking.

Bernard-Henry Levy is a figure who is fortunately not very well known inside the United States. He represents a particularly odious strain of the French bourgeoisie; he works as a sort of professional warmonger who spends most of his time justifying NATO's murderous interventions overseas.

As the neoliberal order is obsessed with rules, philosophers such as Levy are useful to them, providing them with the ethical justifications to invade countries and slaughter their people. In Ukraine, Levy and his team made documentaries as fundraisers for the Zelenska foundation lionizing the neo-Nazi Azov battalion, most notably the openly neo-Nazi leader of the defense of Azovstal, Denys Prokopenko. Levy is far more than just a propagandist, however. His deep connections to the NATO power structures mean that Levy's words can kill.

To wit, Levy is credited as the architect of NATO's disastrous Libyan intervention. He met with the leaders of the "Arab Spring" uprising before their rebellion, and when the Salafist forces were on the ropes, Levy called in a favor from his friend Nicholas Sarkozy, the far-right Prime Minister of France, to set up a bombing campaign. A few days later, Levy personally orchestrated a meeting between the rebels and then secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The rest is history. From there, Libya was thrown into a long, brutal civil war in which millions were killed and displaced. A stable, prosperous nation with a standard of living at it's worst roughly on par with Latvia was destroyed by a cabal of imported Salafist mercenaries and replaced with open air slave markets in the streets of Tripoli.

Libya is now the nexus of a massive human trafficking operation, taking the victims of NATO's "humanitarian interventions" in the region and selling them to well heeled clients in the West and the Gulf States. Children are particularly prized, young boys go for around $400, and young girls twice that. The practice of slavery had been entirely eradicated under Gaddafi's "repressive" government, yet it returned almost immediately under NATO's "humanitarian" regime and continues unabated today.

For Levy, this is likely exactly as planned. The demolition of peaceful nations and enslavement of their people fulfills more than just his monetary desires. Like so many other far-right figures, when Bernard-Henry Levy is not defending war, he is defending pedophilia. Levy has launched multiple public campaigns to exonerate infamous pedophiles such as Roman Polanski and Gabriel Matzneff and despite his Jewish faith, he is a staunch supporter of the Catholic Church's handling of it's child sexual abuse scandals.

While the accusations surrounding Levy are at this point nothing more than smoke, the Zelenska foundation does have some provable ties to the world of Ukrainian sex trafficking through it's ties to the Clinton family and their close friend, Jeffery Epstein.

The Fire

"I will send you to Paris. You'll live there, you'll chat a little, we'll get you cleaned up. We'll make you a portfolio, I'll show your pictures to a rich man. And if he likes you, he'll give me the money to introduce you. You're going to play around with him a bit, and importantly, listen to Uncle Peter [Listerman's nickname for himself], you are not to let him have you immediately. Because if you decide to give it to him, then he has to pay more. And then, if he likes you and he decides to keep you with him, he has to pay even more. Moreover, Uncle Peter will teach you how to live."

-Peter Listermann

Clinton and Epstein

Since the illegal and unilateral dissolution of the Soviet Union against the will of its people in 1991, sex trafficking has been a major problem throughout the former Warsaw Pact. Interpol and the OCSE estimate that over 7 million people have been trafficked from the former Soviet Union, a toll of several hundred thousand a year. This number is likely a severe understatement, as it only considers those forcibly trafficked, while most human traffickers prefer trickery to outright force.

So many women are trafficked and enslaved that it has become almost cliché. In Turkey and Israel where many of them end up, these women are simply called "Natashas." Their real names are no longer important to their new exploiters. However, it could be much worse.

Peter Listermann refers to them as "chickens" or "tyolki," which means heifers or virgin cattle.

Listermann, right

Peter Listermann is an infamous figure inside the Ukrainian film and fashion scene, putting him into many of the same spaces as the Zelenskys. For decades, Listernann has prowled Ukraine, scouting promising young girls to be sold off to wealthy men overseas.

Listermann is one of the many gangsters responsible for the enslavement and exploitation of an entire generation of women. Listermann is a Ukrainian-born, Odessa-based gangster and sex offender who refers to himself as a "matchmaker" instead of a pimp. He scouts underage women at fashion shows and movie premiers, at first promising them modeling work before shipping them off to the highest bidder.

Far from a shadowy figure, Listermann is quite open and proud of what he does. He has done numerous interviews, maintained an active social media presence, and appears openly at entertainment and fashion events in Odessa. The predator even has his own website, which has yet to be taken down.In fact, nothing of any real consequence has happened to Listermann at all. He is now reportedly banned from several fashion shows, but he remains both a free man and a very wealthy one.

It could be that Listermann remains untouchable because his clients include some of the wealthiest and most powerful people on both sides of the old Iron Curtain. Among them are countless oligarchs and fellow gangsters, along with Bruce Willis, Robert DeNiro, an unnamed British noble, and the infamous international sex trafficker, Jefferey Epstein. At one point, Listermann claimed to have procured half of Epstein's victims. While some of this is probably an exaggeration, it can be proven that Listermann represented several of Epstein's known victims.

With Epstein comes his best friend, Bill Clinton. The former president and current pedophile's name appears in Epstein's black book and the guest book of Epstein's Zorro ranch, he has also been photographed both on the infamous "Lolita Express" and with Epstein's victims. He was even invited to dinner dates with new victims to give his friend more credibility.

The connection between the two is so deep that Epstein's madam and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding months after being served an indictment for sex trafficking at a Clinton Foundation event. Before the wedding, Chelsea spent a week-long vacation on Ghislaine's yacht.

Despite this proven, publicly known connection to the sex trafficking of Ukrainian girls and women, the Clinton family remain major backers of the Olena Zelenska Foundation. Not only have they appeared at many of the foundation's events, but they even awarded Olena the Clinton Foundation's "Clinton Global Citizen Award" in 2023, supposedly in honor of her service to the Ukrainian people. When Olena launched her foundation, Hillary Clinton was one of the guests of honor at the opening gala. It would be utterly unfathomable that Olena Zlenska, a woman with access to Ukrainian police and intelligence assets, does not know of Clinton's sordid history in Ukraine. More likely, she simply does not care and is content to line her pockets with more western dollars at the expense of the Ukrainian people.

Olena and Hillary embrace

Given the ties of the Zelenska and her foundation to pedophiles and sex traffickers, specifically those inside Ukraine itself, uncomfortable questions begin to emerge as to the true nature of the Olena Zelenska Foundation. Will we ever have answers, or will this all be swept under the rug by a cowed media like the Epstein affair?

Comment: Via the National File:

A man who claims to be a former employee of Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska's foundation says that the Olena Zelenska Foundation was involved with child sex trafficking. As a driver of supposedly war-endangered children, the man says that he was forced to drive children from cities in Ukraine and deliver them to pedophiles elsewhere in Europe, including in extremely wealthy and well-connected areas in London and Berlin.

A little-seen video on Youtube entitled "La Fondation Olena Zelenska est impliquée dans le trafic d'enfants" reveals the claims of a masked man who says that he transported children out of Ukraine for Olena Zelenska's foundation, and at least one of the children made him believe that the foundation was engaging in child sex trafficking. The video was uploaded by the account "Daniel Schmidt."

[...]

The man in the video makes his claims over the course of more than eight minutes speaking in French. The quotes below come word for word from the English closed captioning translation service on Youtube.

"So, here I am recording this video to tell you about what happened in Olena Zelenska's Foundation when I worked there. After I finish, I'll send you this video via email together with the documents, all the facts of what had happened. To start my story, it was here in France. I had a friend there who worked with different foundations. And he was the one who told me that there is a foundation that pays well in Ukraine, which offers good conditions. And so, I thought, why not? So, I contacted this foundation and then I prepared my documents and I went to Ukraine. When I came, I came to work there as a driver. They offered me this job and I signed the contract. Even the contract was something bizarre. There were clauses, for example, in the contract, that said we must not talk with children, we must not ask questions about host families, things like that. For me it was weird, but I thought, well, I'm a driver it's not my business. I signed the contract. After signing the contract, I was given the pass. This one. Here's the pass," the man said in the video, before showing documentation.

"And then, they gave us a lecture about the job we're going to do there. It was very simple in fact. We would take children from Ukrainian cities. For example, the city, what was its name? Lviv. Another city that was Vinnitsa. We took the children from there, we brought them to the other orphanages that were in league with Olena Zelenska's foundation. And these orphanages were in Europe. Some were in Germany. In France, too, the one I worked with. And also in England. It was there that we brought the children, we put them in orphanages. Then there were staff who took care of them who were looking for foster families. As soon as we find a host family, we take them back from there as a driver and take them to the host family. That's how I made these trips," the man said.

"I went to different cities, different neighborhoods in these cities. For example, some host families lived in rich neighborhoods, like when I went to the Kreuzberg district in Berlin. Another host family, in London, they lived in Dolphin Square. In France, in Paris, there was a family who was on Avenue Foch. And about this avenue, what happened is that I came to Avenue Foch. I came there with a child. I have the document that I will send you via email. I was with this child. His name was Dmitro. I brought him to the host family which lives on Avenue Foch. And the man who came out, he was quite old and he came out half naked. And it really surprised me, what was happening. He winked at the child. He took him by the hand like that. He signed the documents and all that and he closed the door. I told myself that it was necessary at that moment to take note that something was going wrong. But hey, I thought, well, it's not my business," the man said.

"A few days later, yet another story had happened to me. I had to take another child from the orphanage. The child was Volodymyr. (shows the picture of the boy). I had to take him from the orphanage and bring him to a host family. And what surprised me is that a few weeks before that I had brought him to the other host family. I didn't understand what he was doing there. What was he doing in the orphanage if he already had a family? I asked him a question, tried to communicate with him in English. I asked him what's going on. He started crying. I was shocked. I told him that I have to take him to the family but he only cried. I understood that he doesn't want to go there. And we were already in a car at the time. I didn't know what to do, take him to the family or come back to the orphanage, where he doesn't want to go also. I haven't understood anything what was going on with him. And then he started making the gestures. As I understood from these gestures he showed me, that he was touched in intimate places. I get it. It's awful. At that moment I understood everything that was happening. It was really...it's awful what happened with him," the man said.

"I said to myself: calm down. You have to look through the documents, you have to understand what's going on. I started looking through the documents for the family who had took him before. And there I find a name, that it was a certain man whose name was Bernard-Henri Lévy. I don't know anything about this person so I searched on the Internet to see who he is. To find out if he has a Facebook or something like that. And then I found the information about him. And on the Web I found that he is all friendly with pedophiles and he keeps in touch with them," the man said.

"I understood how all these things were set up. Really, everything that's going on there is horrible. I resigned right away. Child sex trafficking, no thank you. I don't want to participate. That's why I'm making this video now. I also hope that you will do your investigation and all this will stop," the man said.

"Thank you for everything. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me to tell everything that happened there," the man said.
