Who Suggests that Zelensky is a Russian Agent? (Alan Levine, USA, 05/10/22 2:11 pm)

Cameron Sawyer wrote: "US taxpayer money has been spent propagating the theory that Zelensky is, in fact, a Russian agent, or, alternatively, that Zelensky surrounds himself with Russian agents, or sells the Ukrainian energy sector to Russian agents. Until the very eve of the war, this was a main theme of nationalist propaganda."

The links Cameron sent with evidence for this claim are in Russian and I did not see a translate feature so I wasn't able to examine them. But I have never heard an official of the US government suggest that Zelensky or those around him are Russian agents. So even if money provided by the US to a group has argued this, it is not the view of the US government or any of its agencies that I am aware of.

JE comments:  An important question.  One thing we now know:  Zelensky is not a Russian agent, even if some of the nationalist (Ukrainian) hardliners believed he was prior to February 24th.
