Pandora Papers: Ukraine leader seeks to justify offshore accounts

Files obtained by ICIJ claim Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his partners established a network of offshore
companies in 2012.

An adviser to Zelenskyy’s chief of staff said on Monday that the president had created the offshore
companies to “protect” the group’s incomes against the “aggressive actions” of the “corrupt”
government of then pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych.

“Journalists have de facto confirmed the president’s absolute respect for the standards of anti-
corruption legislation,” Mykhailo Podoliak told the AFP news agency.

Podoliak, however, did not comment on the details of other revelations from the investigation, which
said that the president’s wife has continued to receive dividends from an offshore company.
