WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Wednesday appealed to international donors to increase their financial support, saying more money was needed to rebuild schools and homes destroyed by months of Russian bombardment.
Zelenskiy, speaking by video link to finance ministers at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund annual meetings in Washington, said Ukraine needed about $55 billion - $38 billion to cover next year's estimated budget deficit, and another $17 billion to start to rebuild critical infrastructure, including schools, housing and energy facilities.

Don’t you normally wait until all the destruction is over with before you start spending $50 BILLION of other peoples money to rebuild a war torn country?
While congress is bleating about slashing social security.
Why do people hate trump?
Why don’t we just make them a permanent part of the budget.
Of course!
But if you do it that way, the people responsible for getting you the money might be out of office by the time the kickbacks become available for distribution to the deserving American politicians.
Silly person!
“ $50 BILLION of other peoples money to rebuild”
Oh please he’s not even turning on their heat with the 60 billion he already got
Good God, Man! Don’t give them any ideas!
How about we just send them everything, and let Zelensky-sky give us whatever is left over.
“ Why don’t we just make them a permanent part of the budget.”
Don’t kid yourself. They are.
“”another $17 billion to start to rebuild critical infrastructure, including schools, housing and energy facilities.””

That would be like me paying someone to blow the leaves off my roof before the trees are finished dropping their leaves..
No, **** ***.
lol :)
That is why this request is an obvious sham. I think he is blackmailing Biden and those DC dirtbags. Heaven knows they are chock full of material with which to blackmail them with. At our expense of course.
I am so sick of this.
Is pedo Joe out there with him looking for little kids?
GIBS-ME-DAT 55 Billion American Taxpayer Dollars!!
Zelensky should be told in no uncertain terms to “GFY”
It has come to our attention that many Zeepers are suffering severe dehydration from all the continual pissing and moaning they've experienced lately. These are difficult days, trying to keep the official narrative going forward, despite the facts. And often, the daily supply of Daily Mail propaganda we provide for distribution is not enough to keep your spirits up. We understand! Please make an effort to keep yourself hydrated by drinking half your body weight in ounces of water dailyand consider an electrolyte drink each day. Mr. Soros and Mr. Klaus are counting on you to push forward the message of the Great Reset!
I just have to think these Republicans are evil. We all know SS and Medicare are Ponzi schemes that are doomed unless changes are made. Got it, with that said, for Thune to be talking about it now is either completely idiotic, or evil. Clearly nothing can be done in this Congress, and I don’t think anyone is so stupid to not understand that, so he must be evil. The cherry on top is all the money they’ve pissed away since 2020 without blinking an eye. I’m just focusing on local and state level politics now, federal level seems lost, hope I’m wrong.
