Just saw a report yesterday accusing Zelensky of stealing $400 million that was supposed to go to fuel. Whether he bought a yacht or not is irrelevant it’s obvious the scumbag is pilfering aid money.
They hate it when you use their own tactics against them.
Well, it’s the BBC, so…
The anger as Project Ukraine corkscrews into the shell-pocked mud of the Ukraine's Eastern Front is EPIC!!
Quibbling over this yacht story is a joke because it is not the reason people are tired of doling out money we don’t have to Ukraine.
Things are bad in America and we are broke. That is the reasoning. People are also sick of the little coke head with his hand out every couple months.
Burisma-Biden corruption is a bigger story and it’s supported by facts, not propaganda.
Meanwhile, leftists refuse to allow a full audit of money spent. Why?
Surely you’re leading the push to see an audit of every single penny given to Ukraine, right?
Nobody with any objectivity believes you at all.
I never believed the yacht story. Nor the “bioweapons labs” story.*
The sad thing is, every Ukrainian politician has run on an anti-corruption platform, and the people vote for that, but each new leader is only more or slightly less corrupt than the one who came before.
Zelensky is no exception. He was corrupt before he won election, and I have no doubt he still is. See Pandora Papers (a huge scandal in Ukraine at the time):
Mind you, there’s plenty of corruption in Russia, too.
*Yes, there were labs for surveillance of emerging infectious diseases. Virtually every country in the world has those. In countries where the government is not capable of reliably running these on their own, we help fund and oversee them. It hardly makes them “bioweapons labs”.
You know what I don’t get with these dumbasses who just swallow Russian propaganda without even once applying some critical thinking to it?
They never ask questions when THIS kind of stuff is broadcast by the Russians either...

For the benefit of the people who’d buy three London Bridges if a Russkie propaganda website was flogging it... This is a genuine Russian TV news team reporting on the counting at the referendum to annex a Ukrainian Oblast.
The person doing the count on camera is LITERALLY holding up unused ballot sheets one by one to the TV camera before putting them in the “yes” pile. Weirdly, the news reporter, the camera crew and even the election official thought nothing of their fraud literally being admitted live on Russian television.
This news segment was for domestic consumption. If one’s charitable, one can think of many ways to defend the Russian domestic audience - maybe they’re still watching on old black-and-white cathode ray televisions or it’s analogue broadcast so they can’t pause the feed and see what’s blindingly obvious... which is, the separatists completely faked the result.
Less charitable interpretations could be, the audience is illiterate, the audience wasn’t paying attention, the audience DID see the blatant fraud and could tell it was blatant fraud but wasn’t ever going to question it anyway. Or, maybe, as one Ukrainian put it early on in the conflict, “they’re really f***ing stupid”.
Question is, what’s the standard pro-Russian freeper shill’s excuse for not questioning Russia’s bull no matter how obviously bull it is?
Are they: Inattentive, illiterate, or just plain stupid?
Does Zelensky Launder US Taxpayer Funds to Bribe The Biden Crime Family and the Marxist Democrat Deep Swamp?
Resoundingly
Screw Ukraine.
I love how all the usual suspects show up to denounce this as a lie, to amplify the lie, or to use this opportunity to distract from the revealed lie in order to parrot another lie.
All the usual nonsense from the troll farm.
“Oh yeah, but Zelensky did this...”
“This might be false but I know he stole money!”
“Look over here, SQUIRREL!!”
It really is pathetic how these tools can’t stand being revealed to be just as phony as their endlessly discredited sources like Doug ‘Treason’ Macgregor and Scott ‘Where’s the Little Girls?’ Ritter.
Before the war, Zelensky corruption was well documented.
But with all the graft opportunities that a war provides, Zelensky is now purer than pure /sarc
Less parroted and ridiculous sounding than “Ghost of Kiev.”
Story about stories about Zelensky’s supposed purchases of yachts and mansions widely touted by pro-Putin trolls.
That’s why I only believe reports from the Ukrainian Ministry of Truth.
How do you know? What's your first-hand info? Other than you really really want to believe that it's lies.
I don't know if it's true but I sure as hell won't pronounce it is or isn't without evidence.
Nor is there any evidence they were sold, or their real bills of sale posted online. Who cares, when the truth, lack of evidence, or common sense gets in the way of a good accusation? < /s >
"But the luxury yacht brokers where both vessels are listed for sale said that the allegations are false. The sales documents appear to be forgeries. And instead of having been purchased by Zelensky or his close advisers, both Lucky Me and My Legacy are still up for sale."
For that matter, include basic fact checking. When it comes to Ukraine, the political right is acting just as bad as we claim the left is. The childishness is getting tiresome.
