Former Polish Deputy Minister Piotr Kulpa alleged that up to half of the U.S. aid money given to Ukraine was stolen by Ukrainian officials. He made the accusations on Thursday while speaking with Ukrainian journalist Lana Shevchuk, according to RT. Kulpa even claimed that Ukraine has been swindling some of that money back to the U.S. Democrat Party.
“Everyone understands that war-related corruption is linked not only with Ukraine, but also the supplier nation,” he said, according to RT. “Who would ever believe that the US burned through $2 trillion in Afghanistan? It’s delusional!”
The U.S. Democrat Party allegedly got back a lot of the embezzled money, Kulpa claimed, according to RT.
“US aid programs are a mechanism to ‘write off large sums of money that finance shady systems under the Democratic Party’s control,’ he alleged. The incoming Trump administration could review government finances and discover the truth that ‘Ukraine got very little’ compared to the amounts mentioned in public statements, Kulpa claimed,” RT said Friday.
Kulpa went on to say that regardless of the intentions of the aid money, large percentages were pocketed by the Ukrainians.
“But they will also find something else: that a huge portion of the funds was stolen in Ukraine. From 30% to 50%, regardless of the nature of the aid,” he said, according to RT.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations citing the Congressional Budget Office in September, $175 billion has been given to Ukraine since February 2022, although only $106 billion of that went directly to the Ukrainian government.
According to Transparency International in December 2014, Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe.
“The new Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2014 by Transparency International showed that Ukraine did not overcome the threshold of “corruption disgrace”. Having received only one additional point, in comparison with 2013, Ukraine remains in the club of the most corrupt countries,” Transparency International said in December 2014. “This year Ukraine scored 26 of 100 and took 142nd place of 175 in the CPI by Transparency International. Again Ukraine shares scores with Uganda and the Comoros as one of the most corrupt countries in the world.”
Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska allegedly ordered a $4.83 million Bugatti Tourbillon in July. Production and delivery of the hyper-car do not begin until 2026, according to Bugatti.
*yawn*
you you commie clowns get your order direct from Russia for this BS propaganda?
yes of course.
same with illegal immigration. How many DOZENS of NGOs were receiving $10s of millions in grants, each, for “resettlement” programs?
Again, this corruption is ALL the consequence of a printed, fiat currency, supplied by the Federal Reserve.
Just another reason to investigate the Act Blue small doner scam.
It has always been a leftist money laundering scheme.
10% for the Big Guy.
We all here knew this was happening. The war in Ukraine was nothing more than a money laundering effort with most of the cash going back into the hands of the Dems and OBiden.
I think we all knew that .
When Trump cuts off the Ukes it’s going to be so sweet watching the Zeepers cry.
Doesn’t look like you’re getting many takers with your paid troll BS, Zeeper.
But you can crawl back to your communist masters and lick their boots for your pittance. You did your “duty”.
What a tool...
we’ll still be out a bundle whichg is now debt and dems have gotten insanely wealthy off this war...and RINOS and neocons too.
“ alleged that up to half of the U.S. aid money given to Ukraine was stolen by Ukrainian officials”
********************************************
Only half? My betting would be that it is MORE than half when you drill down more and more levels to get to the local levels.
So that’s how Kamala got that billion, huh?
Yeah, but look at what a good investment that non-laundered fraction of all those bazillions of dollars was towards destroying Russia, even if we are not at war with Russia.
Uh... oh, wait...
"SLAVA UKRAINI!"
"LONG LIVE ZELVIS, FJB, & THE GRAND GRIFT!"
No doubt. At least the grift is about to end.
It’s not “U.S. aid money”. It’s “U.S. taxpayers’ money”.
communist masters?
If it were up to me every communist on the planet would be rounded up and tried for crimes against humanity and the whole ideology outlawed.
It is my ANTI COMMUNIST views that drive my views on Ukraine.
