DISINFO: European aid to Ukraine a corruption scheme for Zelenskyy
SUMMARY
Macron was not elected by French voters to give money to Kyiv, while France needs this money.
More generally, the aid to Kyiv does not aim at helping Ukrainians, because so far 100,000 Ukrainians died, and Russian victory is ineluctable. Ukraine is only 500 km away from Moscow and it is easy to send their equipment and soldiers. Western military reserves are running out and cannot be produced at a faster pace. Russia will progress inexorably like steamroller. The point of European aid is to enrich Zelenskyy. All international rankings show that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Moreover, the speeches about peace are hypocritical since peace is reached through discussions and negotiations not with money and weapons.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative aiming at whipping up resentment against Western support to Ukraine and forcing a capitulation to Russian military aggression and targeting personally the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The idea that Ukrainian and Western leaders are convinced of a Russian victory and use the war for personal embezzlement does not fit with reality. The only evidence provided is a world ranking of corruption. In 2021, Ukraine was 122nd out of 180 countries in the Global corruption perception index (whereas Russia was 136/180). There is no evidence that Western aid is stolen by Zelenskyy or his government.
The European Union made the decision to provide 18 billion euros to Ukraine next year (2023) to help run the country while it defends itself against Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The money will support the economy of Ukraine.
