'Don't Know Where It Went': Zelenskyy Says Ukraine Received $75 Billion Out Of US-Approved $177 Billion
News 18 ^ | 3 Feb 25 | Aveek Baneerje

Zelenskyy said Ukraine received less than half of what was approved by the US and he was unaware of where those funds went. This came after Trump froze all foreign aid except Israel and Egypt.

As the Russia-Ukraine war approaches three years, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has clarified that Kyiv has only received $75 billion out of the $177 billion military aid approved by the United States under the Biden administration.

The revelation came after US President Donald Trump’s administration froze virtually all foreign aid with the exception of Israel and Egypt. However, Zelenskyy had then said that the US had not “stopped" military aid for Ukraine.

All Zelensky pointed out is that the overwhelming bulk of US aid was spent in the US for weaponry, so don’t ask him where it went: ask people in the US.

When the US began funding Ukraine, Pelosi made a trip over there to see Zelenskyy. I have no doubt that the purpose of that visit was to instruct Zelenskyy how to handle the required tributes to the US Dem party.

Maybe we need a spin-off song:

Where have all our dollars gone?

We saw with happened with corruption in USAID.

Ukraine aid could have gone to the Clinton Foundation and other NGOs.

For some reason this is reminding of the, “where’s the money!?!?,” scene from, “Dumb and Dumber.”

Those are IOUs, sir.

It never left the USA

This is the scam of “foreign aid” as we seeing as USAID is getting unpacked. It been going on for decades. 70-80% of the money stays in the US to fund “studies”, NGOS, Contractors etc. Those people getting the money then do the bidding of the political class via influence peddling and campaign donations

That sounds just like my wife:

“Honey, you took $100 out of the ATM. Where did it go?”

“I don’t know where it went.”

Zelenskyy need to be forced to deliver ALL communications with ALL US individuals AND the identities of all US individuals and business entities which received payments, and the associated amounts.

The interesting things is why he is saying it now. It does provide excuse for a lot of inquiring that Trump will now be able to do.

I am reminded of the old Cold War era joke: Q: name something invented by the Soviet Union that people use today.
A: the Ukraine. The whole world uses it for money laundering.
