The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, said that he does not recognize the country's debt to the United States of either 500 or 100 billion dollars, calling the assistance provided grants that are non-refundable.
Kiev leader Vladimir Zelensky categorically denies the existence of financial obligations of the country to the United States in the amount of 500 or 100 billion dollars. He insists that the support provided by America is a gratuitous grant.
It was Grant. I will not recognize grants as debts. We don't have to repay the debt.,
— he said, commenting on the issue of payments for the assistance already received.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that he considers agreements on the joint use of Ukrainian natural resources as a form of compensation for the support provided. However, according to Zelensky, Kiev does not intend to compensate for the aid.
The former comedian calls the requirements for the United States to "stop Putin" and ensure full protection of Ukraine's airspace as conditions for deepening cooperation.
Earlier, Kiev ruled out compromises in peace talks with Russia. According to the head of the office of the illegitimate President of Ukraine, Andriy Ermak, territorial concessions are unacceptable.

I told my banker they were grants, not loans. They didn’t seem to understand......................
Pravda?
U.S. Taxpayers don’t do “grants”. Where’s our money, chump?
Loans have contracts where you agree to pay the money back.
Z has laid down the law. Trump better fall in line. /s
And worthless trash doesn’t feel any need to pay the debts they’ve incurred, even when a viable plan has been put forward.
And z is worthless trash.
There may be some misunderstanding due to language barriers.
Except we really just gave it to them.
He’s going to be owned by Russia and all these corrupt Ukraine oligarchs will suddenly start falling out of windows. That ungrateful little slug is ignorant because if he thinks Europe will protect him he needs to look at the state of the European army. If we withdraw our military from Europe only the Poles and the Fins have a decent army.
They are negotiating on the exact amount.
Trump says its 300 billion (can't find any corroboration) while Marc Rubio says US total aid, is anyplace from 105 billion to 187 billion.

"Z"...shoulda got it in writing...
”Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.
Of course he considers it a grant he kept all the money fir himself
The deal now is to give some of what he expressly offered in exchange for our not leaving his country’s security against the Russians solely in the hands of the Euroweenies.
If he actually said this, in the dawn of the Trump presidency, then he just guaranteed we will be siding with Russia.
Trump is going to get what he wants. History shows that without a doubt.
Zelensky and everything he says become less relevant by the day. I expect he’ll be living in exile in France within a month.
“Z” knows English....Don’t let his Russian accent fool you.
On this issue I am with Z. Biden did give our money as grants. But regardless Trump will have them pay back anyway
