A close friend and long-time business partner of Volodymyr Zelenskyi purchased luxury real estate in Dubai for $17 million on behalf of the Ukrainian President.
While there is a war in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi's close circle continues to buy yachts and luxury real estate in the UAE. Thus, in November 2023, journalists paid attention to the purchase by Serhii Shefir for the Zelenskyi family of two yachts at once: "Lucky me" and "My Legacy" with a total cost of $75 million.
But as it became known from the records of the archives of the Land Department of Dubai , on December 22, 2023, Serhii Shefir bought an apartment in the Bvlgari Marina Lofts complex with an area of more than 600 square meters. The apartment is located on the island of Jumeirah Bay in Dubai, and its price is 62.1 million dirhams, which is equivalent to $16.9 million dollars.
Serhii Shefir is one of Volodymyr Zelenskyi's oldest friends, like the head of state himself, a native of Kryvyi Rih. Zelensky and the Shefiry brothers, Serhiy and Boris, were involved in the development of KVK together, and also participated as screenwriters and producers and in Zelensky's film business. In particular, they produced the TV series "Servant of the People", which became a springboard for the political career of Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
Zelensky transferred all his assets to Serhiy Shefir before winning the elections in order to continue receiving payments and dividends. All foreign real estate and companies are registered on it.
It is worth noting that the purchase of mega yachts and luxury housing by Volodymyr Zelenskyi's close entourage raises new suspicions among our Western partners that the leadership of Ukraine is using funds allocated by Western countries for corrupt purposes. In this case, it is clear that Zelenskyi's associates are acting as "proxies" to hide Zelenskyi's participation in these purchases.
