Question

The offer of NATO expansion to Ukraine, maidan coup, indifference to crimes by the Kiev regime against it’s citizens, sabotage of the Istanbul Accords and war all enabling grotesque *money* and weapons to flow to Ukraine of which about half made it to the fighters was all about becoming oligarchs.

Answer 1

The only source provided here is a personal Bluesky account, and this claim seems to be more an opinion than a statement of fact. It is difficult to parse this claim due to the structure of the run-on sentence, and more difficult to determine the intention behind any of the actions listed here. The claim that only half of the money and arms sent to Ukraine "made it to the fighters" appears largely unverifiable, as I cannot find any source that confirms it. I can, however, find a declaration of Volodymyr Zelenksy's assets and income in 2024. The income consists of $386,556, $207,000 of which includes the sale of government bonds. The remaining income consists of salary, bank interest, and the rental of private properties. This does not lead me to believe that the Ukrainian government is personally hoarding aid money from NATO in order to become oligarchs. The law that requires this disclosure was established in 2014 in order to stymie corruption, and while it was suspended during the initial invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Zelensky reinstated it in October 2023.
