Well, what do you know? It turns out the media is admitting Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government in Ukraine might have stolen Western aid, after all.
In the least shocking development since the discovery that “The Politician” in that horrid Olivia Nuzzi book is, in fact, supposed to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr., The New York Times belatedly discovered that NATO funds might be intertwined among the funds those in Zelenskyy’s orbit has pilfered.
As you’ve probably heard if you follow the Russia-Ukraine conflict — especially if you’re not entirely convinced that an unchecked flow of money and materiel to Ukraine isn’t the best idea — Zelenskyy and his advisers have been at the center of a massive embezzlement scheme involving the state-run nuclear energy operator. As you’ve probably heard from a usually Zelenskyy-uncritical media, too, that aid wasn’t supposed to be unchecked; we were assured that there were guardrails in the form of independent criminal investigators ensuring our money went where it was supposed to.
In a Sunday report, the Times confirmed what anyone with common sense could have probably told you: That wasn’t quite the case:
“When Russian troops invaded Ukraine, Kyiv’s Western allies faced a dilemma: how to spend billions supporting a government fighting Russia without watching the money vanish into the pockets of corrupt managers and government officials.
The stakes were high because Ukraine’s vital wartime industries — power distribution, weapons purchases and nuclear energy — were controlled by state-owned companies that have long served as piggy banks for the country’s elite.
To protect their money, the United States and European nations insisted on oversight. They required Ukraine to allow groups of outside experts, known as supervisory boards, to monitor spending, appoint executives and prevent corruption.
Over the past four years, a New York Times investigation found, the Ukrainian government systematically sabotaged that oversight, allowing graft to flourish.”
Say it ain’t so.
Biden gifted $100 billion to the Ukrainian despot and there’s zero accountability. Matter of fact, Zelensky claims he doesn’t know where the money went. Biden cared about the borders of the corrupt country that paid his family millions for shady deals, than his own county’s borders. America is $33 trillion in debt but Biden saw fit to give more money to a crook.
Reminder: Oligarch Volodymyr Zelensky hides millions of dollars in offshore companies. Wanna bet a lot of that taxpayer money Biden fed him has been “invested” for his own use?
Stop supporting this shitbag. He’s corrupt.
