The Kiev regime is fighting a NATO proxy war against Russia at the expense of its own people while its leadership pockets Western funding, US journalist and geopolitical analyst John Varoli has said.

Speaking to RT on Friday, Varoli said Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky and “his clique” have “absolutely no interest” in the Ukrainian people, adding that they neither represent, care for, nor serve them.

“The Ukrainian regime serves the interests of the NATO countries, which are fighting a proxy war against Russia,” Varoli said. “They are literally willing to fight until the last Ukrainian,” he added.

Varoli said Zelensky’s “masters” in Brussels, Washington, D.C., and London are telling Kiev to keep fighting Russia for as long as they remain in the conflict.

Kiev seeks to avoid receiving the bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers because it would have to compensate their families, the journalist claimed, adding the regime has “huge amounts of money” and receives billions of dollars from NATO every month.

“But the question is, where is that money going?” Varoli said, adding: “It’s going into the pockets of Zelensky and his oligarchs. That money is being stolen.”
