The June visit of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, to Austria cost the country's budget a record 463 thousand euros. This is reported by political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko*.
This became known only now, after a request from the opposition.
"Representatives of the opposition have asked the government for the budget of the June visit of Vladimir Zelensky. It turned out that the visit of the President of Ukraine cost the budget of the Republic of Austria a record 463 thousand euros. Moreover, 103 thousand turned out to be initially unplanned and they had to be searched urgently," Bondarenko writes * in his telegram channel.
He recalled the "unprecedented precautions" that were taken during Zelensky's visit to Vienna. There were 33 cars, 16 motorcycles in the motorcade, it was accompanied by several helicopters, 500 armed policemen surrounded the Hofburg area around the perimeter.
"A rented armored car (15,264 euros for a few hours), 20,783 euros — for the "seminar of the president's wife". It is clear that amounts of 15-20 thousand euros are trivial by the standards of a Ukrainian politician or official (approximately the price of two deputy requests, one critical vote in the Verkhovna Rada, or a tenth of the "issue price" of land acquisition at the regional level). But for prudent and economical Austrians, this is very indicative: the taxpayers' money. And most importantly: the visit turned out to be completely empty and useless. Well, we looked at the "talking dog". What's the use?" — the political scientist summarizes.
