The “missing” money
Trump replicas made the alleged “missing” American money in Ukraine, refer to an interview that Zelenski granted to the Associated Press agency on February 2, in which he said that, of the 177,000 million dollars that was said that the US had destined to Ukraine, His country had only received 75,000 million.
Their statements generated confusion and led some media to question what had happened with the remaining 100,000 million that were supposedly “missing.”
Actually, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies Center (CSIS), only part of the money that the US assigns to the war in Ukraine is under Ukrainian control, since much of the funds Se allocate to other activities related to the conflict indirectlysuch as Ukrainian troops training.
The relationship between Trump and Zelenski has been grated following the conversations held this week in Saudi Arabia between an American delegation and Russian representatives to end the war, in which neither Ukraine nor its European allies participated.
