Zelenskyy regime is in the process of selling off national assets."The Ukrainian government, trying to somehow pay off the West for the weapons and ammunition provided to them,"
Prozorov writes, "puts up for sale objects of national property that are significant for the country's economy.

The "privatization" of public assets in Ukraine began after the
USG-orchestrated coup brought down the elected president, Viktor Yanukovych. After he fled the country in fear for his life, the installed coup regime turned West with open arms. The regime entered into a deal with the IMF and World Bank, the latter providing $3.5 billion to the notoriously corrupt and oligarch-dominated nation.
