@ChadPergram 1) Tillis: It was helpful that President Zelensky focused on some of the myths around yachts being bought with the money coming from the United States. They have implemented reforms based on IMF recommendations. They have implemented reforms based on EU recommendations. 2) Tillis: We know what's happening on the ground..I believe that by and large, the money is being well spent. And if we fail to support Ukraine, we will spend a lot more and regret this moment in history when we walk away from it.

Unless the U.S. Congress votes to fund further U.S. military assistance to Kyiv, Ukraine is at risk of losing the war with Russia, head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, said during a visit to the United States on Dec. 5.“If the assistance currently under discussion in Congress is delayed — I'm not even talking about it being voted down — it will create a significant risk that we will be in the same position in which we are now,” Voice of America quotes Yermak.

An independent journalistic investigation found out that the two closest associates of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have recently purchased two luxury yachts - one in Abu Dhabi (UAE), the other in Antibes, France in October 2023. Zelenskyy's proxies Boris and Serhiy Shefir bought yachts, the total cost of which is estimated at $75 million. Large purchases by people close to the Ukrainian leader raise suspicion of corruption and raise doubts about the targeted spending of Western financial aid allocated to support Ukraine's defense capabilities in the military conflict with Russia. Journalist Shahzad Nasir shared important information about recent yacht purchases...

The Senate voted Tuesday to advance a short-term funding measure to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the week. The Senate voted 77 to 19 to advance the legislative vehicle they will use for a continuing resolution funding government until Nov. 17. The vote puts the Senate on a path to pass a continuing resolution (CR) later this week that it could then send to the House to avoid a shutdown on Oct. 1. The House has been stuck on how to move forward with funding the government amid disputes among Republicans in the majority. If the Senate...

As Congress struggles to work out a continuing resolution before a government shutdown at the end of the month, Senator Rand Paul has vowed that he will not allow more US spending on Ukraine to be a part of any such plan. Paul’s comments come in the midst of a visit to Washington by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who is reportedly seeking an additional $24 billion in U.S. aid to help his country’s war against an invading Russia. The senator says America has done enough. “Today I am putting leadership of the House, the Senate, and the President of the...

The Pentagon will exempt its Ukraine operations from a potential shutdown if lawmakers can’t agree on a deal to fund the government by the end of the month, allowing key training and other activities in support of Kyiv’s forces to move ahead uninterrupted, according to a Defense Department spokesperson. (snip)“Operation Atlantic Resolve is an excepted activity under a government lapse in appropriations,” Sherwood said, referring to the named operation for DOD’s activities in response to the Russian invasion. The move means that the U.S. military’s activities related to the war, such as training of Ukrainian soldiers on American tactics and...

The top House Republican overseeing U.S. foreign affairs said Congress will provide more funding for Ukraine to fight off the Russian invasion despite GOP pushback, after a Thursday meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also proposed legislating that the U.S. provide F-16 fighter jets for Ukraine and long-range missiles that the Biden administration has held back on providing. “We need to give ’em everything they need. And if this administration won’t give it to them, then I submitted that we write in our appropriations bill, we write...

Volodymyr Zelensky met House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Thursday in his battle to persuade skeptical Republicans in Congress to keep sending aid. McCarthy and Zelensky met behind closed doors, after the Speaker rejected pleas for a joint address to Congress. Congress has already authorized more than $110 billion to Kyiv since Vladimir Putin's invasion, and some members of the GOP have warned the White House they will oppose Biden's request to send another $24 billion.

In his years as the chief executive of one of Ukraine's biggest construction firms, Oleh Maiboroda kept rolls of dollar bills in a safe behind his desk. The money, Maiboroda told Reuters, was intended to bribe public officials to approve building projects. The task of handing over the cash, he said, was entrusted to a lawyer named Oleh Tatarov, now a senior adviser to Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskiy. "Tatarov used to solve all issues with law enforcement," Maiboroda said in an interview in Vienna, where he has settled to escape prosecution in Ukraine for his own alleged role in corruption...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected at the White House and on Capitol Hill next week as he visits the U.S. during the United Nations General Assembly. Zelenskyy’s trip comes as Congress is debating President Joe Biden’s request to provide as much as $24 billion in military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine as it fights the Russian invasion. An administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive visit, said Zelenskyy will meet with Biden at the White House next Thursday. The trip to the Capitol was confirmed by two congressional aides granted anonymity to discuss the plans....

Ukraine needs “powerful and long-range weapons” — fighter jets, in other words — because Russia’s air superiority over the battlefield has allowed them to “stop our counteroffensive”, President Zelensky said. Russia is denying air superiority to Ukraine and using that to “stop” the counteroffensive, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday, the latest in a line of remarks addressing the difficulty the Western-armed Ukrainian army has had this year turning back the tide of the Russian occupation. Speaking at a conference in Kyiv on Friday, Zelensky said Ukraine needed “powerful and long-range” because: “We are not in the sky and...

A recent journalistic report revealed that the Ukrainian president bought a luxury villa in Egypt in the region of El Gouna, also known as the "city of millionaires". More than that, evidence indicates that Zelensky used Western money for the purchase, spending in personal luxury a significant part of the amounts he receives from NATO countries.The data were published by Egyptian investigative journalist Mohammed-Al-Alawi. After in-depth research involving sources familiar with the topic, Mohammed discovered that the Zelensky family acquired a luxury property in Egypt valued at around five million dollars. The place is located in the coastal zone of...
