Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that his country has received less than half of the $177 billion in aid agreed by the US under the Biden regime and that he doesn’t know where the rest of the money has gone.
In an AP interview, Zelenskyy stated that Kyiv has only received $75 billion of the approved military aid.
“When I hear – both in the past and even now – from the US that America has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions (of dollars), as the president of a nation at war, I can tell you – we’ve received more than $75 billion,” Zelenskyy said.
“So, when people talk about $177 billion or even $200 billion, we’ve never received that,” he stated.
“We’re talking about tangible things because this aid didn’t come as cash but rather as weapons, which amounted to about US$70 billion,” he further explained.
“When it’s said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war – that’s not true. I don’t know where all that money went,” Zelenskyy emphasized.
“Perhaps the US President’s administration will audit these programmes and find additional billions, but I don’t know where those funds went,” he added.

The remarks come after President Trump froze all aid to foreign countries with the exception of Israel and Egypt.
Zelenskyy made the same claim last month on the Lex Fridman podcast, claiming that Ukraine has not received even half of the funds allocated by the US, and implied it may be down to corruption or lobbying by US entities.
Elon Musk, who is heading up Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, took note of Zelenskyy’s remarks.

Where has the money gone?
Wait what? So over $100 BILLION is just missing?! 🤡This is exactly why Trump is right to freeze aid.
Where did all that money go? Corruption, middlemen, slush funds? Americans deserve answers before a single penny more gets sent. Our Tax money is hard earn money. Remember.

It was money laundered to go back to the military industrial complex (MIC) and numerous corrupt NGOs on to the bought and paid for Democrats and RINOs by the lobbyists and special interest groups from the MIC and corrupt NGOs.

The point of money laundering is to make the money untraceable

Audit and prosecute. That is the only way to handle this.
