Hill: Ukraine should be held accountable for stealing from the West
The columnist of the American publication, criticizing Ukraine’s lack of management and financial corruption regarding US aid, stressed that Ukraine should be held accountable for “stealing Western aid”.
According to Isna, the United States is considered one of the main allies and supporters of Ukraine and has sent significant aid to this war-torn European country since the beginning of Russia’s military operations in Ukraine, and the current president of the United States, Joe Biden, who is in the last days of his presidency. Spending time, before the start of the presidency of the president-elect of this country, “Donald Trump”, he informs about the new aid from Washington to Kiev as fast as possible.
“James Durso”, a columnist of the Hill magazine and a former officer of the US Navy, writes in an article for this American media: “The shameful point of the US military assistance in Iraq and Afghanistan was that while our troops and their local allies were fighting bravely, the leaders of our so-called allies were getting rich. We see a worse case in Ukraine; “While Ukrainian military personnel and civilians fight bravely in a fierce struggle for independence, Ukraine’s leaders have grown fabulously wealthy.”
This American columnist further emphasized: “The shame of the United States is that the United States expanded NATO without considering Russia’s borders, and after Russia retaliated, the United States provided financial support to the Ukrainian government; A country that will be remembered as the biggest example of waste and theft of Western aid in history and must be held accountable in this regard.”
Durso writes in a part of this report referring to the response of the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: “The true extent of this waste of money and fraud will only be determined by an independent investigation after the end of the war. Zelenskyi government uses war to suppress media reporting; Reports often raise questions about Ukraine’s handling of the budget and our taxpayers’ money. “However, many brave Ukrainian officers and journalists are still highlighting the financial scandals of the Ukrainian government.”
On Monday, Joe Biden announced a $2.5 billion aid package to Ukraine. The US Treasury Secretary also announced the aid of 3.4 billion dollars from the aid budget to Ukraine. In this way, the total of the latest aid package of the Biden administration to Ukraine is about 6 billion dollars.
Almost three years have passed since the war in Ukraine and there is still no prospect of peace in this country. Meanwhile, some Western countries, especially the United States of America, insist on sending financial and military aid to Kiev instead of focusing on diplomatic solutions to resolve this conflict, and on the other hand, Russia has repeatedly pointed out that the continuation of such a process is only It prolongs the war.
In the midst of the war in Ukraine, the “Joe Biden” government has provided a lot of financial aid to Kiev, and in many cases, since the necessary clarifications are not made, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has not managed these amounts properly, and sometimes there are reports of financial corruption in this ministry. has found a leak.
“Steven Moore,” the former chief of staff of one of the top Republican representatives of Congress, recently mentioned his presence in Congress and said: “Since the Republicans will take control of Congress and the White House, there will probably be hearings about the corruption in Ukraine. »
