Zelensky portraits appear on cocaine seized in Russia (VIDEO)

The FSB says it intercepted over 300 kg of the drug in Moscow Region from a trafficking route linking Latin America and the EU Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has seized about 311 kg of cocaine in Moscow Region.

Some of the packages feature a portrait of Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky.

One suspect has been detained on suspicion of helping organize a supply route from Latin America to the EU.

The FSB said its officers caught the suspect while he was transporting the drugs.

In a video shared by the agency, the man’s car could be seen loaded with about a dozen heavy duty bags filled with cocaine bricks.

During the examination of the packages, about nine of the bricks were revealed to have a photo of Zelensky with dollar signs for eyes.

The agency has not offered any explanations as to why the Ukrainian leader’s photograph appeared on the cocaine packages.

However, Zelensky’s image has increasingly been associated with cocaine use.

His former press secretary Yulia Mendel recently confirmed to Tucker Carlson that the Ukrainian leader’s drug use is “an open secret” in Kiev.

Russian officials have also long accused Zelensky and other Ukrainian elites of being addicts.

The detained man is an unemployed Russian citizen born in 2001, according to the FSB.

It described him as an active member of an organized group that arranged large drug sales through the dark web without meeting buyers in person.

The agency said the group’s international supply route brought cocaine from Latin America through Russia for eventual sale in EU countries.

Investigators have opened a criminal case against the suspect on charges of attempted large-scale drug trafficking.
