Zelensky cancelled a classified briefing call arranged by Biden admin officials,
an urgent effort by Democrats anxious to provide $65B more tax dollars to Ukraine.
Then Biden sent word he was upping his take,
demanding 40% be deposited in his offshore account.
Looks like Zelensky goin to have to do some lay offs at some of his three estates.
