The Kyiv Independent is a mouthpiece for Zelensky or his military psyops when it reports about the war and politics. But I suspect this story has truth to it - USAID was a slush fund and they are hoping to replace it with 'donors'. Meanwhile, Zelensky continues to drive the country, and her people, into the ground.

It's an appalling 'opportunity' to invest in a country that is in a hole and digging as fast as it can.

“Donors” are welcome to trust Zelensky at their own peril.

I’d prefer the American taxpayers not be a bottomless bank account for the newest European war.

Excellent points. But I don’t see Trump allowing Putin to take Ukraine. Time will tell.

They are fools. Ukraine has a “ D” credit rating, and have defaulted on many of their loans since 1991. Guess they will learn the hard way.

perfect, everyone who wants to support Ukraine can now do so and stop telling everyone else what to do.

Excellent opportunity to FALL PREY TO GRIFTERS! We all, after all, are possessed of desirable OTHER-PEOPLE’S-MONEY.

Surprisingly, no mention of any of the startups putting Hunter Biden or Mitt Romney’s kid on the board to act as the funnel for cash infusions.

Braunfisch needs Zelensky to make him a Ukrainian Prince and then start sending out mass market emails to Americans.
