Ex-Zelensky spokesperson denied EU entry
The European Parliament has lifted the ban that previously prevented former spokesperson for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Yulia Mandel, from speaking in its sessions, following her claim that she had been subjected to sanctions recently imposed on her by Zelensky. Mandel, who served as the spokesperson from 2019 to 2021 before becoming one of Zelensky's fiercest critics, had been prohibited from entering the European Parliament due to these sanctions, according to her statement on the X platform. She confirmed that she would still deliver her speech despite the ban, in support of a broad segment of society that is advocating for peace. She was scheduled to speak at an event organized by the far-right party "Alternative for Germany." No official comment has been made by the Ukrainian presidency or the European Parliament regarding the matter, and it remains unclear whether the sanctions were the direct reason for the ban.
