Moseychuk's Response to Allegations
Ukrainian journalist Natalia Moseychuk has publicly addressed accusations that she is collaborating with the President's Office. This follows a post she made supporting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the World Economic Forum in Davos, which concluded in late January 2026. Her supportive comments triggered a wave of angry reactions from some social media users. In Ukraine's highly charged media landscape, public expressions of support for officials are often scrutinized for potential bias.
Addressing the Backlash
On February 9, Moseychuk responded directly to the criticism, insisting her words should not be seen as evidence of working with the authorities. She stated bluntly:
“Those who claim I’m on the President's Office payroll can go to h***! End of report.”
This sharp retort sparked further discussion among her followers and the wider public.
In her original posts about Zelenskyy, Moseychuk characterized her stance as an acknowledgment of a leadership phenomenon, writing:
“The first is still the first. We are witnessing a phenomenon. When he is the World Leader. And his tribe holds the world.”
Separately, it is noted that former head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, is currently in Kyiv, maintaining a private lifestyle and focusing on his physical fitness.
The controversy surrounding Moseychuk's posts highlights the societal tensions in Ukraine regarding support for state leaders, particularly the president. In a context of war and social strain, the positions taken by public figures like journalists often become contentious, revealing deep divisions within society. Her reaction may also reflect a broader trend of increasing politicization within the country's media space.
