Zelensky's inner circle has ‘camouflaged homes’ in US, Russian official claims

Russia-Ukraine War: Russian MP Andrei Lugovoi said that Zelensky "and his circle should be the first to climb onto the gallows."

A Russian lawmaker, wanted by British police for killing a former spy in London, said that Moscow could pursue Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and his inner circle for the rest of their lives.

Russian MP Andrei Lugovoi said "we have to seek justice on our own" adding that Zelensky "and his circle should be the first to climb onto the gallows."

"Today I reminded Zelensky that history should be remembered," Lugovoi said as he "recommended" that the Ukrainian president and his allies should read the memoirs of Pavel Sudoplatov.

"Their future is described in there with precision. I believe that we shouldn't be shy about it. In the future, we have to chase them all over the world," Lugovoi said.

He added that he was "sure guarantees have been given" to Zelensky and his circle by American and British intelligence.

"I'm sure that in California or somewhere else, there are hidden camouflaged homes," he said but "for every single one of them where they are planning to spend the rest of their lives... I don't think that their lives will be very successful or fortunate."

This comes as a blitz of Russian strikes in recent days have caused Kyiv's biggest power outages of the nine-month long war and shut down all of Ukraine's nuclear power plants for the first time in 40 years.
