Zelensky: Ukraine hopes billions in promised funds will materialize
DPA International (Germany) via Yahoo ^ | August 21st, 2024 | Unattributed

President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine hopes that that billions of dollars that have been earmarked for the war effort will materialize.

Some of the funds in question are to be financed from the proceeds of frozen Russian state assets.

There have been many political declarations from Kiev's partners and many more are to be expected, Zelensky said in his evening video address on Wednesday. "But we need a real mechanism," he insisted.

The seven major Western industrialized nations (G7) agreed on new financial aid for Kiev at their summit in June. A generous loan totalling $50 billion is to be secured by interest income from frozen Russian assets.

It looks as though none of those countries are willing to actually seize the asset or go to their respective parliaments/diet/congress and ask for the $50b.

Anyone who thinks things are grim in wartime Ukraine is going to come to find that peace is even worse

Zelensky, Biden and the rest of his enablers destroyed the Ukraine’s economy and industrial base so badly it will make the hard times following the fall of communism look like a walk in the park. It will take decades for the Ukraine to recover

Naturally. The WEF globohomos can’t wait to get back to business as almost usual with Putin’s regime and seizing Russian assets will make that politically much more difficult. Birds of a feather flock together....

The broad plan it seems was to destabilize Ukraine, provoke Russia into invading and somehow end the conflict and Russia gets their ethnic regions the rest picked apart by countries and corporations. Ukraine as we know it will be a carcass.

I would bet he also hopes he doesn’t get fragged by his own troops.

"Zelensky, Biden and the rest of his enablers destroyed the Ukraine’s economy..."

And Biden, Harris and their handlers destroyed the economy of this country.

“”Ukraine hopes billions in promised funds will materialize” “

Ukraine, democRATS, RINOs hope billions in promised funds will materialize and the Ukrainian ATM will keep funneling/laundering $$$ their way.

There, fixed it.

Biden was Obama's VP, appointed Obama's "point man" in Ukraine. Obama changed official U.S. policy to benefit Burisma, at the same time Hunter was a million dollar p/y Burisma board member.

"Now all we have to do is give Zelensky billions of tax dollars in hush money."

Large estates in countries without extradition treaties are not cheap. Without $Billions more... compromises will have to be made. How can we ask poor Zelensky to give up a large pool and spa with an infinity edge?

St Zelensky defaulted on his country’s loans that were due last week. The best part? Blackrock, IMF, etc are having to eat it. Suckers.

So... you thought it was a picture from an estate currently owned by Zelensky and used your awesome intellect to investigate? You must get up pretty early in the morning.

All the more to line his pockets with.

Guys,

Some of these frozen assets we brag about, are from people that do not like Putin and do not support Putin.

MOST of the folks that are politically connected and part of the Russian cabal of elites had prior warning.

We literally took away people’s property whose only crime is to be Russian and rich.

Well lets see here.

Ukraine just defaulted on it's debt payments so no one is lending any more.

Germany was Ukraine's second largest backer after the US and Germany has just stated it was cutting Ukraine off after disclosures that Ukraine was responsible for the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline. Germany is even talking reparations from Ukraine for the economic catastrophe Zelensky brought upon Germany.

The Biden Administration is cutting back support for Zelensky and Trump is not going to send billions to Ukraine.

Britain and France are tapped out and have given all they have to give.

The Ukraine has been running on almost exclusively on borrowed money for the last few years. Literally. It's economy has been ruined by the war and Ukraine has become a welfare state supported by US and NATO direct hard cash aid and borrowed money.

Ukraine's pre war GDP was on the order of 75 billion dollars a year and we have been sending them hard cash in the 60 billion dollars per year in direct cash to float the economy and forestall economic collapse.

What's going to happen when the cash spigot gets turned off and Ukraine get the economic welfare rug yanked out from under them?

I'm not optimistic for the economic future of Ukraine.
