Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, has criticized the United Nations (UN) and some other international organizations, calling them "money-making offices." Among the organizations he mentioned are the IAEA, the Red Cross and Amnesty International. He said this during an interview with the YouTube channel "Vlada vs Vlashchenko".

"We will not get them to abandon their own stupidity. In fact, the UN is a completely absent organization. It is, I would say, a PR office or a lobbying office for earning money for a good old age for people who hold certain leadership positions," the advisor said.

He also believes that these organizations do not fulfill their original functions, but only complicate and delay decision-making processes.

"The emotions caused by the UN will always be negative, just like any other international institution - the IAEA, the International Red Cross, Amnesty International - all these are fictitious organizations that clog our minds with absolutely garbage assessments. If they did not exist, we would probably solve many issues better and faster," Podolyak said.
