Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that his country has received less than half of the $177 billion in aid agreed by the US under the Biden regime and that he doesn’t know where the rest of the money has gone.
In an AP interview, Zelenskyy stated that Kyiv has only received $75 billion of the approved military aid.
“When I hear – both in the past and even now – from the US that America has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions (of dollars), as the president of a nation at war, I can tell you – we’ve received more than $75 billion,” Zelenskyy said.
“So, when people talk about $177 billion or even $200 billion, we’ve never received that,” he stated.
“We’re talking about tangible things because this aid didn’t come as cash but rather as weapons, which amounted to about US$70 billion,” he further explained.
“When it’s said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war – that’s not true. I don’t know where all that money went,” Zelenskyy emphasized.
“Perhaps the US President’s administration will audit these programmes and find additional billions, but I don’t know where those funds went,” he added.
JUST IN: Ukrainian President Zelensky says Ukraine only received around $75 billion of the $177 billion in aid sent by the United States.

The remarks come after President Trump froze all aid to foreign countries with the exception of Israel and Egypt.
Zelenskyy made the same claim last month on the Lex Fridman podcast, claiming that Ukraine has not received even half of the funds allocated by the US, and implied it may be down to corruption or lobbying by US entities.
Elon Musk, who is heading up Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, took note of Zelenskyy’s remarks.

Where has the money gone?
Wait what? So over $100 BILLION is just missing?! ?This is exactly why Trump is right to freeze aid.

Where did all that money go? Corruption, middlemen, slush funds? Americans deserve answers before a single penny more gets sent. Our Tax money is hard earn money. Remember.
It was money laundered to go back to the military industrial complex (MIC) and numerous corrupt NGOs on to the bought and paid for Democrats and RINOs by the lobbyists and special interest groups from the MIC and corrupt NGOs.

The point of money laundering is to make the money untraceable

10% for the big guy is probably a reasonable starting point.
Same thing happening to the £billions sent from the UK without the taxpayers’ consent. Unfortunately, our Marxist dictator isn’t freezing ANY foreign aid. In fact, Starmer is giving even more of our money away.
He should go back over his back hander wire transfers to the world ‘leaders’ who facilitated tax payers money being stolen in one of the worlds biggest money laundering operations. He should also check out the transfers made to the rothchilds/rockerfeller/wagner shell businesses setup for the operations. Or maybe he should look at how much all his houses, apartment blocks, cars and yachts cost too and his small hat henchmens bank accounts. Plenty more places he can look, even in his child smuggling operations.
Oh let’s see. mansions, autos, cocaine.
Into Democrats and RINO’s pockets.
Ukraine will start charging the USA tariffs on all war matériel sent to Ukraine
The little comedian and actor knows where the money is or at least who controls it. That’s what actors do. They play roles. There’s a big golden slush fund sitting somewhere in bullion for future operations. Put a reward on it. 10% should rattle a few snakes.
Falling behind little ricky. The corrupt Ukraine gov’t that the bribem family colluded with is gone. This guy had just replaced them when potato joe said a little russian rape…oh wait incursion was OK. This little comedian was supposed to fall in 3 weeks…but darn him he held out 3 years…with half the aid never getting to him.
Ukraine was being investigated corruption before the war-in fact, it was deemed to have the most corrupt government of any in mainland Europe.
Also UN and NATO inspectors claimed billions had gone missing, weapons were being sold to Russian soldiers by Ukrainians and to Russia on the black market, and Ukrainian politicians and high-ranking officers had been buying up land and property they couldn’t possibly afford themselves outside of Ukraine. Zelensky, already a millionaire when he was parachuted into that job by Obama and Biden, has made even more millions from this war.
It’s a den of thieves
No one should have given the corrupt Ukraine a penny. But I suppose the corrupt have to support their own.
