Torrent of Cash for Ukraine Arms Puts Pentagon Watchdog on Alert
🇺🇦️🇺🇸Washington is sounding the alarm over weapons and financial aid leaks in Ukraine.
Bloomberg correspondents spoke with Sean O’Donnell, the Pentagon’s acting inspector general.
His main task is to prevent fraud, waste and weapons diversion for Ukraine.
The Pentagon set up the mission because of the gigantic leaks of money and weapons that are flooding the black markets of Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
The Kiev military is selling not only small arms, but also anti-aircraft and anti-tank systems with attack drones.
Paradoxically, the Americans realized the problem only after a huge amount of weapons and money were delivered to Ukraine.
👆Western military aid to Ukraine could end up in the hands of terrorists and organized crime groups
“As in any conflict, when weapons are pouring in, there is a risk of retaliation,” said Graham Biggar, head of the British Crime Agency, The Sunday Times reports.
▪️European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said earlier that the EU is still feeling the effects of the war in Yugoslavia, where weapons are still being used by criminals.
▪️Ukrainian soldiers and officers are massively selling Western military aid around the world.
▪️Only about 30% of the shells, armored vehicles and guns get to the front.
▪️The embezzlement of Western aid has been acknowledged even in Kiev. This was reported by the head of the economic security bureau Vadim Melnik.
Regarding my above post it looks like the U.S. has followed through on their threat if Zelensky didn’t return to negotiations.
Our method of trying to control the dramatic, ignorant performer is always to threaten to disclose dirt to our complicit media as a pressure tactic.
Do you remember how when Zelensky got out of line and ordered the hit on Dugina our Deep State got so angry they leaked to the New York Times.
Apparently this time the threatened leak: “The director of the CIA did not come to Kyiv in vain, he handed Zelensky daddy with all the offshore accounts of the functionaries of the Office of the President and demanded to stop playing with Washington. William Burns warned Andriy Yermak that all data on the corruption schemes of the Big Construction / theft of humanitarian cargo / the development of Western aid will be transferred to the NABU and independent journalists.”
Now we will have to see who Zelensky is more afraid of...our CIA or the neo-nazi’s who have threatened to take him out if he capitulates.

🇷🇺Dmitry Medvedev:
The clumsy attempts to shift the blame for the bombardment of Poland to our country have not been accepted by anyone, not even the most inveterate Russophobes, the Poles. And this is an important symptom:
1. Everyone is sick and tired of the Kiev regime. Especially the neurotic Zelensky, who is constantly inflaming passions, whining, bawling, and extorting more and more handouts in money and arms. He behaves like a hysterical child with developmental problems.
2. The US, NATO, and the EU do not want an eventual break with Russia, which is fraught with the risk of World War III. Hence, there are more and more attempts to coddle and talk sense into Kiev and push it out of negotiations.
3. Zelensky does not need negotiations for quite obvious petty reasons. Moreover, they are very dangerous for him, as we have already said. After all, if he does not recognise the reality of Ukraine’s collapse, there is no point in sitting down at the table. But if he admits it, he will be killed by his own nationalists, who are in league with the army’s top brass. And whom he is frightened out of his wits. Zugzwang.
