DISINFO: 70% of western aid to Ukraine is stolen by Zelenskyy and corrupt officials
SUMMARY
Zelenskyy and his team are accused of financial fraud in the United States and of embezzling money that had been earmarked for aid to Ukraine.
There is a money laundering team in Ukraine. Only 30% of declared humanitarian aid and weapons reach their target. A large part of this money is circulating abroad, we are talking about real estate acquisitions. According to information from verified sources, many Ukrainian officials have bought houses in other countries.
Kyiv is not interested in a peaceful resolution of the crisis as they are quite happy with the way they make money in cooperation with American defence companies.
The flow of money to Ukraine will stop as soon as control of the US House of Representatives passes to the Republicans.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative about Ukraine, seeking to undermine the Western support for the country that has been attacked by Russia.
Disinformation claim has been spread exploiting the reporting of FOX news, where a guest expert and a former helicopter pilot claimed that 70% of humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine was stolen before it could reach its destination. No evidence were given to substantiate the claim.
The US, the EU and other countries have been consistently supporting Ukraine and its people. Ukraine requires not just humanitarian and military assistance, but also help rebuilding critical civilian infrastructure that is deliberately destroyed by Russia.
Pro-Kremlin media has been trying to portray Ukraine as the "most corrupt country in the world" on numerous occasions in the past, see here; here; and here.
