If you have watched World War Reddit, and understand the basic premise of Ukraine as a U.S. money laundering operation, then you likely understand why and how the recipient side of the $100 billion U.S. aid package is filled with graft and corruption.
Each Ukraine official who is caught using the money for their personal enrichment, is replaced by another person who engages in the same activity. Successful anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine are futile, because everything attached to the U.S. created Ukraine government is corrupt.
A corrupt minister is caught stealing and skimming money for his/her own benefit. The corrupt minister is fired and replaced with another corrupt minister, and then the clock starts ticking until the replacement makes a mistake and gets caught doing the same thing as his predecessor.
The corrupt activity in Kyiv is identical to the corrupt activity in Washington DC, because it is created by the same corrupt process. Wash – Rinse – Repeat.
In the latest exhibition…
[Via Zero Hedge} – […] Defense chief Oleksiy Reznikov has overseen a series of embarrassing military corruption scandals at a time Kiev is trying to tout its democratic and corruption reform credentials. He could be dismissed from the top post as early as next week and given a new role as ambassador to the United Kingdom.
But the decision is “not finalized” according to sources speaking to Kyiv Post, which names Rustem Umerov – currently head of the State Property Fund – as a likely candidate to replace Reznikov.
DM Reznikov has overseen Ukraine’s military and defense strategy since the start of the Feb. 2022 invasion, but the much-hyped counteroffensive launched at the start of the summer has been widely seen as a failure, despite tens of billions of dollars of Western aid and weaponry.
Reznikov is now front and center in an anti-graft probe, Bloomberg writes, citing local Ukrainian media:
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s anti-graft crackdown is fueling speculation that he may dismiss Ukraine’s defense minister following accusations of corruption linked to procuring military supplies.
The Ukrayinska Pravda newspaper, citing sources it didn’t name, said on Thursday Minister Oleksii Reznikov may be replaced as early as next week. The report followed accusations from anti-corruption activists and media that under his leadership the ministry has purchased food and uniforms at inflated prices. It also coincides with comments from a lawmaker that Reznikov may be shifted to the post of Kyiv’s ambassador to the UK.
Additionally, parliament’s People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak, wrote in a Thursday Telegram post that “…Rustem Umerov will be nominated for the position of Minister of Defense.”
Kyiv Post has detailed the latest scandal as follows:
The latest scandal was exposed by Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Nikolov who, citing sources at the State Customs Service of Ukraine, reported that the Ministry of Defense had acquired 233,000 winter jackets for $20 million from a Turkish firm.
Documentation from customs regarding one shipment unveiled a startling increase in cost for a batch of 4,900 jackets en route from Turkey to Ukraine.
The price had tripled, soaring from $142,000 to $421,000 (a per-unit rise from $29 to $86). Furthermore, it was revealed that the jackets, despite being marketed as winter wear, turned out to be lightweight. (link)
The Ukrainian Defense Minister might be removed due to a corruption probe. Hell, He probably pissed somebody off. The entire government is corrupt, a real probe would get rid of the fake president and his entire administration. And save this country a lot of money, in the process.
Big Guy did not get his 10%. And Hunter was not there, sitting right next to his father, to shake him down.
Big Guy was probably oblowme not dementia Joe.

That’s a promotion
Only to pop up in the Caribbean.
“The corrupt activity in Kyiv is identical to the corrupt activity in Washington DC, because it is created by the same corrupt process. Wash – Rinse – Repeat.”
I don’t mind giving 100s of billions of dollars worth of military equipment to Ukraine; I just think Zelenskyy should have to go pick it up in Afghanistan.
A good deal of that 85 billion in US military equipment is most likely spread far and wide to all of the kenyan’s besties in the muslim brohood
I like that lol
I mind. There is no principal in this war – it is foul.
Canaanites all, and the Sheep here are being shorn.
Meanwhile, the Sheep over there are being sacrificed to ‘their’ god.
You’re corrupt and got caught so your punishment is to become ambassador to the Court of St. James’s?
That’ll put the fear of God into those rascals!
That caught my eye right away.
His Majesty’s government can always decline his credentials.
But sadly, they probably won’t.
Can’t prosecute him because he’ll name names and produce receipts. So the options are assassination (dead man switch?) or exile. Appears to be exiled, although he is now exposed to Russian retaliation like Alexander Litvinenko a few years back.
Also indicates (to me anyway) the UK isn’t where the action is for setting up deals. Now, if he had been made Ambassador to Belgium (Brussels) or the US that could be seen as a promotion.
There is the City Of London – the epicenter of deal making.
Ludacris assumption that someone in Ukraine was caught doing something wrong.
Fake “war” will probably end after BRICS is complete. Thats probably what Biden, Zelensky, and Putin agreed to.
ITS ALL STAGED BS
It really doesn’t look fake.
D@mn the corruptocrats in DC and elsewhere who set up this misery
It’s disgusting what Biden and the Neocons are doing to those poor people. If the Ukrainian people only knew who their real enemy is!”
IMO they are killing off enough people for the population control part that the chinavirus didn’t complete. It does look like chinavirus 2.5 is going to be tried again this Fall.
WW3 will take care of that.
“…Biden, Zelenskyy and Putin ….” Which one of these 3 doesn’t belong?
The war against Russia is very real. There has been aggression from the USA for at least 10 years.
” Z ” Is FEEDING THE Masses TRYING TO NOT Be NEXT. Zelensky IS Facing the quandary –
Ngô Đình DIEM or MUSSOLINI – EITHER See Ei AH or POPULACE REVOLT
( Italian Communists got Benito )
When the spooks are done purchasing their foreign hubs Z the Drug addict will be removed.
The upsetting part is that: ITS OUR MONEY!!
It’s actually not our money but it’s put on our credit cards.
The fed Res is foreign owned and run.
The Rothchilds have been funding both sides of wars for 300+ years.
It IS our money, as WE are the ones paying it back. For Decades.

BBC Reveals Horrendous Ukrainian Army Losses-
Graveyards are full. To make room for the battle deaths old graves are being removed many from World War II. Tens of thousands dead in the past two months!
This video is absolutely heartbreaking! All of these brave young men killed for nothing! The comments are shocking because they blame Biden, NATO, Zelensky and Boris Johnson for the killing!
Our brave young men better not be next!
Most people in Ukraine from the everyday citizen all the way up are completely corrupt.
ALL of them and when they openly show (Symbols) of SS Nazis battalions in there military and Z wearing the Nazi iron cross you should not feel sorry for any of them.
Tons flags in the video with the Iron Cross and NAZI Emblems.
We just had a Ukrainian family move “two doors down”
Seem alright but looks are nearly always deceiving.
However they have a Ukrainian emblem emblazoned on their front door.
Silly folks…a Russian family live behind them and one over they may not know that.
Cheers!
They don’t care. They will bully Russian emigres, even if they knew them before the war and conversed in Russian. A lot of Ukes seem to truly be
I have a wonderful Russian family next door. They are about the nicest people on the block. When I asked him about Ukraine he just shakes his head in disgust. It’s like the United States fighting Mexico, he said. What chance do they have?
I’m not casting aspersions on you but doesn’t that claim sound awfully far-fetched? Are we supposed to believe that they can’t find room to bury their dead in a new location? This isn’t the middle ages when the dead have to be carted out of town in hand cart.
Actually that is typical for the wars in that area. The cemeteries are something new, probably due to America funding the war and the introduction of “western values”. In wars past, because the bodies were so numerous, they were just “plowed under“:
EXCAVATIONS OF GERMAN SOLDIERS & AMMUNITION
There are hundreds more here:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=excavating+german+soldiers+russia
This describes some of the current findings:
NYT: A Current War Collides With the Past: Remnants of World War II in Ukraine
“When you dig into a trench” looking for bodies of soldiers recently killed, he said, “you find a trench from World War II.”
https://archive.is/5Wa55#selection-489.0-489.73
If you watch enough of those videos, the excavation teams occasionally find bodies and relics from the Napoleonic War, Crimean War, World War I, the Russian Civil War and World War II. The whole region is a layer cake of corpses and military relics.
Remember, the moral arc of history always bends toward progress. Obama’s enlightened, compassionate, intellectual, technocratic “progressive” America is now laying down the next layer. This is just the beginning of the Earth healing under new American leadership.
The Western peoples never really recovered from the Wall St WWII.
At least the wars against the Muslims, Huns, Mongols were to save the West. Makes me sick all those people dying for some to make money
It’s from BBC in the video. That’s what they are saying!:
I wonder if we will ever learn just how much of this $100B may have ended up in the pockets of DC elites?
I also wonder if there might be a correlation to those who scream the loudest about staying in Ukraine and those who may have received some of these dollars?
$150+ billion
Many children of politicians and the DC Elite and their kids (like FJBs kids) we will never know.
Just like all the military hardware that touches down in Ukraine and then flown out of that country.
Same as the Bankman-Fried Scam.
Ukraine invested tens of millions of dollars with Bankman-Fried who in turn donated tens of millions of dollars to the DNC and Democrat politicians! Of course, the money Zelensky invested with Bankman-Fried came from the United States!
Now, ask yourself why Ukraine, a totally bankrupt country dependent on the United States and Europe, would be buying CRYPTO investments from anyone much less Bankman-Fried???? If they have money gamble why are we giving them ours?
Bogeyfree: Once laundered, a lot of that money is being spent on espensive home renovations and new homes in the Virginia suburbs of DC.

Hold on… hold on… HOLD ON… somebody’s complaining about a $86 winter jacket?… $86 DOLLARS?!??!?
I’m living in Clown World, and these Clowns are on Steroids…
THE GUY IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND HIS CRACKHEAD SON AND SCUMBAG BROTHER HAVE DEPOSITED TENS OF MILLIONS… AND POSSIBLY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS… OF DOLLARS INTO THEIR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS THROUGH SHADY GOVERNMENT- and POWER-PRIVILEGED “DEALS” OVER MANY MANY YEARS…
And these fools are worried about $86 dollars? Does anybody else get the feeling that Team POTATUS called Team Z and said “we need a anti-corruption sideshow… PRONTO!”
They probably gave Little Z a nice kicker for his troubles… how’s that for irony…
Hello! Mr. Piddles…
The Ukrainian Government paid (with US Taxpayer’s money) $142,000 for each of the $86 winter jackets!!!
Wrong!!!
Please re-read the last paragraph of the post. The unit cost went up from $29 to $86 per jacket.
The total price went from $142k to $421k for 4900 jackets.
Oops! Sorry. I’m thinking big money not $86. If that’s all they’re revealing then it’s bullshit! These people are stealing billions not pennies.
Also note in the article that the “winter jackets” were lightweight jackets – not heavy winter outerwear. Also, if buying in bulk the wholesale cost should be half of what we think an 86$ jacket is plus another discount for major BULK.
Was $421,000 total.
Check out how the NY Post reports this one:
https://nypost.com/2023/09/02/ukraine-tycoon-who-backed-zelensky-campaign-accused-of-fraud/
No mention of Burisma, the real estate he bought in Cleveland, or the FBI raid. No comments allowed, either.
5 billion missing.
And the winter jackets were ‘lightweight’, not real ‘winter’ type jackets?
Layers are better anyway. :^) An $86 lightweight jacket that repels wind and water, and maybe keeps the heat in (say reflective lining, Thinsulate, or whatever)… something built for the elements and heavy daily use… I don’t see $86 being very expensive at all. But you gotta wonder… what the hell were they buying for $29?
Then again… I’m not fighting a war on a Blood-Soaked Frozen Hellscape… whadda I know…
I hope the jackets are bulletproof!
Gosh,….. we thought all those flag-waving, flower-garlanded, blond-braided, young lady Ukrainian folk dancers who got in our faces 24/7 in their peasant blouses offering us homemade Ukrainian cookies …………..were sooooo sincere.
Were they from central casting too?
Probably.
Hill and Knowlton, maybe.
I bet how it works is there is a level of skim one gets, when that is reached, another takes their place to get theirs. They need to keep the grift from US going so everyone in line gets theirs. However, it is a game of musical chairs and there is always one more person than there are chairs. That’s why the, “we will be in Ukraine for years” is said.
That’s been the modus operandi since WWII and we’re just now catching on!
10% for the Big Guy, of course.
In this case, there’s enough $billions sloshing around for a LOT of Big Guys.
“Psst, hey Mac. Wanna buy a hammer for $800? Final cost to you is $4.99. Just don’t ask about where the rest is going.”
What about Zelenskyy who just purchased a multi million dollar mansion in Egypt under his mother in laws name ?
He has bought properties in so many different countries with our money spending millions upon millions including Miami yet he is untouched.
Zelensky ain’t going to Egypt! Maybe Israel but definitely not anyplace he won’t have serious protection!
How about Miami? Or up there in Martha’s Vineyard with Michael and his wife Barack? They are looking for a chef who could double as a male escort.
It is His money that we gave to Him/His country. Who are we to demand how it is to be used?

Dodge City needed Wyatt Earp, Ukraine needs a Wyatt Earp. America is not responsible for sending over to Ukraine a Wyatt Earp.

So the penalty for corruption is appointment to ambassador to UK???? Just amazed at how the worst of us fail upwards every damn time.
The world wide center of corruption and money laundering is centered in the semi autonomous “City of London” (not Greater London, which is the capital of the UK.
The “City” is the HQ of the banking and finance elites. That is why he is appointed to Court of St James – to be near the “City” and their allied monarch, King Chuck who sucks.
Interesting that London was originally founded as a Viking city.
Wonder if that has any bearing on what the City of London came to be?
That was Greater London.
Londinium (approximately where the ‘City’ lies) was a Roman outpost to my understanding well before the Vikings.
If I recall correctly, somewhere around the time the Banksters financed Cromwell, that approximate 1 sq mile autonomous region was ceded to them. If you look at its location, it was dead center on the wharfs and docks upstream on the Thames (trading location and easy egress to sail down into the open sea for possible future escape route).
The Strand.
Yeah, I’m starting to dig into the history and see I was a mite in error there.
What a world, ‘eh?
Victoria Nuland et al, formed this corrupt government in Ukraine—a FOR PROFIT operation. I don’t know what else to expect.
What ever music is playing when you are coming of age yet still innocent will always be special.

Sorry, intended for Jimmy Buffet thread.
No problemo! Gibbs Rule #18-easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

Here is a great interview as it really clarifies the corruption
https://rumble.com/v3dedne-the-biden-bribery-files-with-guest-john-solomon.html
Quote – Successful anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine are futile
And if someone does try, Joe will see to it that he or she is fired.
The Great and Powerful Z has also arrested Igor Kolomoisky.
Who is Igor Kolomoisky? Well, he is the
tech guru… oops, that title only applies to rich Westerners. Allow me to start over.Well, he is the oligarch who bankrolled Servant of the People, a sitcom in which a teacher becomes the President of Ukraine. The lead actor became a protege of Kolomoisky and began a political career. Somewhere along the way tens of millions dollars began a great migration starting at Kolomoisky’s bank, passing through the actor’s political machine, and into landing safely in offshore bank accounts.
Did I mention the actor’s name? I haven’t yet? Oh, it is Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Somehow that minor detail slipped my mind.
The Ukrainian regime is clearing the decks for its very free, very fair, totally secure, completely democratic elections which will apparently happen sometime soon, provided Russia has been destroyed and the US government has opted to pick up the bill. Free and fair elections cost a lot of money, you know.
A secure election is in the bag.
Where is the brilliant Ukrainian patriot Alexander Vindman when he is needed most?
Genie: He’s taking his uniform to the dry cleaner, just in case he needs to testify before Congress.
You mean the uniform that’s four sizes too small?
Zelenskyy should replace him with Hunter Biden.
Guess NABU, National Ant-corruption Bureau Ukraine, an FBI department operating within the Ukrainian Government since before the Maidan is getting to the bottom of Ukrainian corruption.
I will sleep better knowing these people are hard at work.
In Mexico they have the Anti-Kidnapping Police. Does it work the same way? LOL
If you remember, in January, William Burns carried to Ukraine a list of 35 generals and government officials who have made millions from US taxpayer money. Zelensky fired 10 of them and allowed the other 25 to continue their activities. The amount of corruption is staggering.
Today, the oligarch Kolomoisky was detained by the Shevchenko District Court of Kiev on suspicion of money laundering and fraud. He was a major backer of Zelensky in his election and funded the Aidar, Azov, Dnepr-1 and other neo-Nazi militias.
He pleaded not guilty, but refused to pay the $14 million bail. So, he will be held in detention for 2 months pending investigations.
I’m guessing this may be another shakedown, rather than a true court case against him. He was part owner of Ukraine’s largest bank which Zelensky nationalized. He was part owner of 2 oil companies of which the Ukrainian state has taken a large stake “for the war effort”. His popular television channel is now under a unified state-controlled signal. Many of his industrial assets in the east and south have been destroyed or taken by the Russians.
No wonder why the criminals in Congress were quick to impeach PDJT for a phone call about Ukraine.
Exactly. Upvote to Colkitto
“You’re doing exactly as I expected…..you’re fired”…
The war monger Biden maladministration, and the Zelensky regime, has now succeed in getting at least 200,000 Ukrainian troops stone cold dead. Adjusted for population that’s at least the equivalent of 2,000,000 dead American troops, about twice as many as all our wars combined.
Is all the graft money worth it to these depraved soulless monsters? Obviously to them it is.
the dead all within a 1-1/2 year war so far and counting.
Afraid their massive theft of American tax dollars in a money laundering op in Ukraine (and other crimes) was going to be exposed?
Democrats react to president’s call with Ukraine
Military Industrial Complex. We know they need to have their constant client, US. I think we have read that equipment we send is our old obsolete stuff. Deplenishes our stash. Maybe our stash is being replenished with the new stuff. Old stuff to Ukraine to be used by the cannon fodder.
I just wish the voters had the say so on sending money to Ukraine instead of the ones that were voted in by the voting system that they use
That little green con man has several houses stashed all over the world worth hundreds of millions
I’m talking about Zelensky
I can’t believe it! My stars, if true, this would be like if the Democrat party and the Deep State had stolen the 2020 election! Oh, wait…
Removed? Like in CIA removed? Bill & ILLary removed?
Imagine the Dirty Laundry this guy’s got stashed away for a Rainy Day…
It probably reeks by now.
Nice crew
The Ukrainians are as corrupt as the Biden Crime Family.
Ukranians seeded Alexandra Chalupa in the Hillary DNC, Alexander Vindman in the Military, Victoria Nuland in State, Robert Kagan with Neocons, and Freeland in Canada. That and 10 million to Hunter Biden got them 150 Billion at least.
WE are paying for all Ukranian pensions. Thank the idiotic John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, General Milley, Lord Austin and the Military Industrial Congressional Complex.
Doesn’t DeSantis have Pushaw…a consultant to Zelensky in 2018 when he ran for President of Ukraine?
