Ukrainians have stolen up to half of US aid – ex-Polish deputy minister

Kiev laundered money for the Democrats, taking a cut of what was left over, Piotr Kulpa has claimed.

 

Ukraine did not receive as much foreign aid as claimed by the administration of US President Joe Biden, and a lot of whatever help it did get was embezzled, a former Polish deputy minister has claimed. Up to a half of the funds that reached Kiev was stolen by Ukrainian officials, Piotr Kulpa has alleged.

 

The political commentator previously held several posts in the Polish government, serving as deputy labor minister in the mid-2000s, and is currently a regular contributor on Ukrainian online shows. Kulpa is a vocal supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump, as evidenced by his remarks to Ukrainian journalist Lana Shevchuk on Thursday.

 

“Everyone understands that war-related corruption is linked not only with Ukraine, but also the supplier nation,” he said. “Who would ever believe that the US burned through $2 trillion in Afghanistan? It’s delusional!”

 

US aid programs are a mechanism to “write off large sums of money that finance shady systems under the Democratic Party’s control,” he alleged. The incoming Trump administration could review government finances and discover the truth that “Ukraine got very little” compared to the amounts mentioned in public statements, Kulpa claimed.

 

“But they will also find something else: that a huge portion of the funds was stolen in Ukraine. From 30% to 50%, regardless of the nature of the aid,” he added.

 

If Kiev were to recover all the embezzled money for the Ukrainian budget, the country would have enough for a year, Kulpa said. He denounced senior Ukrainian officials, whose regular salaries and bonuses he believes are outrageously high.

 

“It’s a spit in the face of every Ukrainian,” the former minister asserted. “To every European and American taxpayer. This system is criminal from start to finish.”

 

Trump and his allies have been highly critical of the amount of assistance that the Biden administration has sent to Kiev. The president-elect has argued that EU nations should assume the burden of propping up Ukraine, while the American government should focus on its own priorities.

 

US concerns about graft in Kiev have been reflected in some government documents, such as a report that Pentagon Inspector General Robert Storch’s office released last week. It said corruption “continues to complicate Ukraine’s efforts to achieve its EU and NATO aspirations.”

China breaks silence on growing WW3 fears with message to Russia and its enemies

The country has sent a message to Russia and Western supporters of Ukraine as Putin makes new threats.

China has sent a message to Russia, the US, UK and Ukraine as fears of World War 3 grow.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Friday that "all parties" need to show restraint to avoid further escalation.

He said: "Under the current circumstances, all parties should remain calm and restrained, work to cool the situation through dialogue and consultations, and create conditions for a political settlement of the crisis [as China refers to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine], in order to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in the US, made similar remarks in an interview with Newsweek.

He said: "Realising an early ceasefire and striving for political settlement serves the interests of all sides.

"It is important not to fuel the tension. China always encourages and supports all efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis and stands ready to continue to play a constructive role in its own way for the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis."

China's intervention comes after the US and UK permitted Ukraine to strike Russian territory with their missile systems.

Russian President Vladimir Putin lowered Moscow's nuclear threshold in response, and he also fired a medium-range ballistic missile in Ukraine.

He warned on Friday that Russia has new missiles "ready to be used" against Ukraine.

>UK told Ukraine that they can not use anymore of their "Storm Shadow" long range missiles

Probably upset that they aren't the 'war winning' weapon they thought, just like the US ATACMS.

“No one believes these cables were severed by mistake, and I also don’t want to believe versions that it was anchors that by chance caused damage to these cables,” he said at a regular meeting of European Union defense ministers.

“So we have to state - without knowing in concrete terms who it came from - that this is a hybrid action. And we also have to assume - without already knowing it, obviously — that this is sabotage.”

 

Of course NATO holding a submarine exercise in the area prior to the damage had absolutely nothing to do with it… sarc

Same modus operandi as the Nordstream pipeline explosion.

NATO holds maritime exercise in area and a short time later sabotage followed by accusations it is Russia.

Hybrid warfare US, UK, NATO carry out false flag attack and blame Russia.
