Broskisnowski Ever heard of the content? Obviously not!
Pandora Papers: Several Russian outlets covered the leaks but the Kremlin was quick to dismiss the reports as “groundless.” Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the allegations were “hard to understand” and did not merit investigation.
The cache exposed assets stashed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his inner circle, including the purchase of a waterfront apartment in Monaco by a Russian woman who reportedly had a child with the longtime leader.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which obtained the records, identified hundreds of offshore companies with 4,400 beneficial owners who were Russian — more than any other nationality. They include 46 Russian oligarchs.
In the Pandora papers there are 19 Russian politicians, 38 Ukrainian, 6 Indian, 10 Nigerian, 8 Venezuelan to name a few.
An adviser to Zelenskyy’s chief of staff said on Monday that the president had created the offshore companies in 2012 (he became President in 2019) 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.
The Pandora Papers are the latest in a series of mass ICIJ leaks of financial documents, from LuxLeaks in 2014, to the 2016 Panama Papers (800 Russians on this list), which triggered the resignation of the prime minister of Iceland and paved the way for the forced resignation of the leader of Pakistan.

@magnus08f250 Just russian lies and propaganda. And the putin fans buys it all without blinking!
Usatoday: "The claim: Zelenskyy has a Florida home, $1.2 billion in overseas account, 15 homes, 3 planes and $11 million in monthly income
A Feb. 25 Instagram post (direct link, archived link) claims Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accumulated vast wealth overseas
"Zelensky owns 15 homes, 3 private planes, and has a monthly income of 11 million dollars. Why is no one questioning where our AID is going?" tweeted the account Trump's Nephew.
Forbes was found no evidence of these assets, while none of Florida's public records show that he owned a home in the Sunshine State.
Our rating: False
An investigative expert said that there's no evidence of the assets listed in the post, and Forbes, which tracks Zelenskyy's assets, also found no evidence of these assets. None of Florida's public records show that Zelenskyy owns a home in the state.
No evidence of the assets in post
There's no evidence Zelenskyy has any of the assets listed in the post, according to Drew Sullivan, co-founder and publisher of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.
“He does not have a house in Florida, nor did we find evidence of (a $1.2 billion) overseas account, but bank accounts are generally private and come out in leaks,” Sullivan said in an email. “There is no evidence of 15 homes, private planes, etc."
Sullivan also said "these fake numbers are being pushed by non-credible sources – social media accounts that regularly parrot Russian propaganda."
Forbes estimated in 2022 that Zelensky's real estate portfolio was worth $4 million, which included two apartments he owns, two apartments he co-owns, five parking spaces and commercial property.
USA TODAY previously debunked a claim that Zelenskyy bought his parents an $8 million mansion.
