KYIV — To date, the United States has allocated approximately $177 billion worth of aid to Ukraine, but the war-torn nation reports they have received less than half. Now Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is asking for another $20 billion so he can find out what happened to the $101 billion dollars that was somehow lost.
"In order to locate the missing funds, we will need more funds," said Zelenskyy. "That's just basic economics. And if you don't give it to us then you hate Ukraine and democracy."
Given that the money would have arrived in the form of humanitarian aid or weapons, some officials have questioned exactly how Zelenskyy can be so sure he was shorted the funds, to which he replied, "I don't know, that's what I need the $20 billion for."
According to sources, former President Joe Biden's inability to end hidden junk fees may be the reason Ukraine is short on funds.
"Sleepy Joe said he'd end junk fees and didn't do anything about it," said President Trump. "He never should have put Wells Fargo in charge of Ukraine."
"Ukraine has been at war with Russia since 2022 and that costs a lot of money," economist John Havorthorpe said. "If they don't find the missing funds soon they may have to resort to begging for foreign aid — again."
At publishing time, Congress had voted to reallocate funds intended for victims of the LA fires to Ukraine so they could find out what happened to their missing money.
