A number of Ukrainian media outlets disseminated a statement by Dnepropetrovsk oligarch Igor Kolomoisky criticizing the Ukrainian showman Vladimir Zelensky for his performance in Jurmala.

“I know Vladimir Zelensky as an intelligent, decent citizen who loves Ukraine,” Kolomoisky allegedly said. – With great chagrin and disappointment I watched the performance of the 95th Quarter in Jurmala. Vladimir should have seen the unpatriotic nature of the written monologue and asked the authors to correct the particularly provocative part. He didn't. An explanation (not even an apology) written on Facebook did not correct the situation. Therefore, organizational conclusions will follow. If the authors who wrote the scandalous monologue are not fired, the 1+1 TV channel will cease cooperation with Studio 95 Kvartal.
And for those who justify such statements, I assure you that in the West, politicians make a distinction between Ukraine, the Ukrainian people and the temporary thieving government. The latter are really beggars, thieves and swindlers.”
It is noteworthy that Igor Kolomysky himself previously stated that he does not have accounts on social networks.
It is also worth noting that some online publications later caught on and added to the headlines that Zelensky was threatened by the “fake” Kolomoisky.
This is, for example, what the corresponding page on the depo.ua website looks like after the corrections.
