Zelensky ‘Not Satisfied’ With the Level of Western Weapon Donations
Breitbart ^ | 12/02/2023 | Oliver JJ. Lane

Posted on 12/02/2023 7:41:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

While acknowledging that he shouldn’t “complain too much”, Volodymyr Zelensky has again expressed his displeasure with the volume of Western weapons flowing into his country.

There are not enough weapons in Ukraine and this has been a contributing factor to the failure of the so-called Spring Offensive, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. Noting the lack of supplies and the war in Israel that has contributed to some of those supplies he hoped for not arriving, Zelensky, nevertheless told the Associated Press in an interview that he had a plan to overcome his nation’s supply problems.

What does this have to do with Zelensky? Can you explain why you were trying to spread the fake yacht story?

From the USAToday article to which you linked:
Declared over $700,000 in bank accounts and an additional $650,000 in cash
Received a presidential salary of $12,218
Earned $470,000 from selling two houses – one in Ukraine and another in Italy.
Received $171,120 in royalties, with the biggest stake coming from Kvartal 95, the production company Zelenskyy co-founded in 2003
Received income from property lease, investment income from securities and bank interest that totaled less than $30,000 (based on the average exchange rate between Ukrainian hryvnia to dollars in 2020)
Such debunking can be interesting, because it does show at the minimum he had offshore property and at least a bank account in USD, rather than hryvnia.

So over a million in "bank accounts" and "an additional $650,000 in cash" as USAToday "debunked," one wonders.

Among other questions, how does one hold $650K in cash? Where? Why? How?

Which of us Freepers has $650K in cash? Not in a bank or S&L?

I could, but I don't really care if my joke offended you.

Like I said, you trust Zelensky, apparently you believe he is an honorable person, one who has not benefitted from the Billions of our dollars given to him.

I believe if he has not bought those yachts or mansions, then he has stashed money someplace else for the benefit of him and his family, likely to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.

You'd be nuts to advertise it if you did.

Why is there no international outcry for a cease fire and peace talks?

Again you mention trusting Zelensky which makes zero sense.

I asked you about the yacht story.

Good questions. Can’t answer them, but maybe there’s good reason for not putting all your money in Ukrainian banks at the moment.

Might I inquire what you are basing your belief on?

Past history of corrupt leaders pocketing US dollars, known corruption in the Ukraine, lack of oversight from US on dollar expenditures, refusal of Democrats to authorize an audit, multiple reports of weapon’s sent to Ukraine being used, or found outside of Ukraine.

Now, similar question to you: On what basis are you basing your trust that Ukrainian leadership is not benefiting from selling such arms to others?

I think there was an old saying “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”.

It’s gifting all right, straight to the corrupt government of Ukraine.

I vote for nothing for Ukraine....ever.

Russia has the land it wants and won’t be giving it back. Z’s allies are seeing the light that this is a never-ending money pit. Now they are stumbling around trying to save face while losing, just like every war since Korea.

Arms and money are Z’s minor problems. Troops are his main problem and he has no fix for that. Countries that are balking at sending money/weapons won’t be sending troops.

The propaganda for the Ukraine winning all of the time is getting very tiring. It is being continually pushed so that they do not lose the support of the people donating money and weapons.
