Ukraine’s National bank says it now holds nearly $39 billion in foreign reserves, the highest level in the history of the country as an independent nation, as it continues to receive large deliveries of cash from allied nations.

There was a $38.99 billion reserve held by Ukraine as of July first, the National Bank of Ukraine said in their latest figures, up from $37.3 billion in June. The size of the reserve is the largest since the fall of the Soviet Union, and beats the previous 2011 record of $38 billion.

Per the National Bank, this reserve was achieved “thanks to sustained and regular inflows from international partners”,…

… The reserve is held in foreign currencies and gold, reports the Polish financial newspaper Rzeczpospolita.

Reuters reports Ukraine has received $23.6 billion in cash from Western partners this year so far.…

“WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.”

Quite a few times around here I have bemoaned the fact that Biden sends so much money to Ukraine. Immediately, the usual crowd jumps in to tell me I’m wrong, and that we don’t actually send money, we just send weapons.

But, it’s pretty clear that we send a lot of money to Zelensky, who seems to stash it for a rainy day.

Absolutely! Lying Joe Biden says, “Do it!” and his legions of worshipers rise in one accord like trained seals and echo. “Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it! and it is done. As a result, America is one step nearer destruction. Victoria Nuland smiles, Joe Biden smiles, the American public smile as they smoke their Medical Marijuana they realize that they have their type man in the White House ruling over them.

Yep, and it’s absolutely disgusting. The following is from the linked article:

“Reuters reports Ukraine has received $23.6 billion in cash from Western partners this year so far.”

RIVERS OF CASH are flowing.

Thanks to sustained and regular inflows from international partners.

Like to see the paper work on that audit.

=== "Ukraine's National bank says it now holds nearly $39 billion in foreign reserves, the highest level in the history of the country as an independent nation, as it continues to receive large deliveries of cash from allied nations."


How interesting, since supposedly past events suggest other "flows" of bullion. And of course the Biden administration is paying Ukrainian government salaries....

March 7, 2014 – Nearly a billion dollars of Ukraine's gold reserve is loaded on a plane destined for the United States

Poor, poor Ukraine. Serving the Clintons and the DNC. Money laundering in the millions to the princelings of Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and pals of Romney..... All the while the per capita income of real Ukrainians is in the few thousands USD. Amazing how so "flowing" have been the flows over the years. Money laundering, big time.

He doesn’t just “stash it.” The Usual Suspects in power in the US are getting their kickbacks. It’s how the game is played.

Oh yeah, the Ukie YipYap Squad. They all seem to have the same talking points. And they’ll tell you with a straight face that Zelensky and the Ukraine government are honest and above-board and there’s no corruption going on there. Nope. They’re just trying to defend themselves. That’s all.

We give it to Zelensky so he can launder it back to the corrupt American political class.

Biggest money laundering operation in the history or organized crime. The American government has proven to be the greatest criminal enterprise of all time.

Bet they have already TAKEN the money... and it ain’t on deposit at Kiev S&L either.

How long before they run? My guess is, as soon as they perceive that the money tap has run dry.
