Zelnsky accused the US of corruption

Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelnsky, insisting that Ukraine had received more than $ 5 billion of military aid from the United States: “Allegations that US support for Ukraine between 5 and 5 “It has been $ 5 billion, it is incorrect.”

“As a president of a war in a war, I can say that we have received more than $ 5 billion from the United States,” he said in an interview with the Associated Press. But allegations that Ukraine has received $ 5 billion out of $ 5 billion or even $ 5 billion is not easy. This is important because we talk about the details. We have not received these aids in cash, but we have received weapons. “The total value of the weapons we received is just over $ 5 billion.”

“When I hear that the United States has given Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars, I have to insist that we have received more than $ 5 billion,” the Ukrainian president said. That is, $ 2 billion out of these $ 2 billion or even $ 5 billion, some say, we’ve never received it. “

Zelksky, whose government is accused of widespread corruption, said: “When they say that Ukraine has received $ 2 billion during the war to support the army and so on, this is not true. I don’t know where all this money is. “

He added that the United States has provided a variety of aids, including humanitarian and social programs, education. However, he insisted that Ukraine’s $ 5 billion military aid was misleading.

Zelksky, thanking the support, said that the figures of $ 1 to $ 2 billion and $ 5 billion were not comparable. He also pointed out that more aid was provided in the humanitarian sector, such as supporting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

The President of Ukraine also said that the energy sector’s aid had reached $ 5 million, while health -related aid was about $ 5 million.

“These $ 2 to $ 5 million has been allocated to government programs, but we will meet these needs either with European partners or through internal resources,” he said.

It had been reported earlier that US President Donald Trump had stopped foreign aid for five days.

On the other hand, Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine and Russia recently told Reuters in an interview that the Ukrainian presidential and parliamentary elections, which were suspended during the war with Russia, “must be carried out.”

“Most democratic countries have elections during their own war,” Clag said. I think it’s important to do it. I think it’s good for democracy. It is the beauty of a firm democracy that you have more than one person who is likely to be nominated. “

Both Trump and Kate Clag have said they are working on a plan to mediate an agreement in the first few months of the new government to end the all -out war that began with the Russian invasion of February.

They have provided little details about their strategy to end Europe’s most deadly conflict since World War II, and it is unclear when they may unveil such a plan.
