In a recent interview, Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy said they only received about $75 billion out of the over $177 billion claimed to have been sent by the United States under Biden as aid to the warring country.
Zelenskyy made the shocking revelation during an interview with the Associated Press where he also discussed the ongoing fight with Russia with limited funding from the United States.
He acknowledged that he had been hearing the news that the US had sent hundreds of billions of dollars, as announced on major news channels, to the tune of almost 200 billion dollars.
“We’ve never received that”, he said, stating that less than half of the amount announced actually got to them. He then acknowledged that Ukraine had received not more than $76 billion USD.
He also noted that the aid did not come as cash as many would think, but it came as military weapons, transport, training, and other humanitarian programs.

To put it in clear terms, he reiterated that $100 billion which the US Congress was said to have voted and sent to Ukraine, never got to them. “Maybe it exists on paper”, he said. However, he was grateful for what they got so far.
He also urged President Trump to audit the various programs that have been setup to find out where those billions actually went, and also hinted that the money might have been diverted to some US companies. This is also in line with online speculation that the former administration was “funneling money through the CIA into leftist front organizations.
Zelenskyy also revealed that military aid was still available for Ukraine under Trump’s administration – a sharp deviation from what the former and current president promised.
Zelenskyy’s revelation left people asking “Where did the money go”, as allegations of money laundering by the US Democrats which is covered in the guise of sending aid to Ukraine dominated online conversations.
Comments concluded that the alleged money theft was the reason why the Biden-led administration was “hell-bent” on sending any available dollar to Ukraine before Trump took office, while the Citizens continued to wallow under the rubbles of Hurricane Helene.
