I’m motivated to refute Russian propaganda. Something you seem motivated to spread. The quote was the only part that talked any solid numbers about aid to Ukraine, so how can you even make and analysis. You also never mentioned the quote is from the very start of the war and how the situation of supplies is very different now.

  CBS is America, not Russian? The history of Ukrainian political corruption predates the war from Russia. Russia is a corrupt aggressor, but that does not mean Ukrainian abuses should be ignored. Zelensky is not allowing Ukrainian citizens the freedom to leave the country for safety. How is it different now?

    What does limiting who can leave the country during war time have to do with corruption? The narrative of Ukraine loosing most western weapons was started by Russia and then they dropped it since UA advance was clearly showing them to be total BS.

      Zelensky gets more money the longer the war drags on. If Ukrainians are allowed freedom to exit to safety, then Zelensky and the oligarchs will not reep as much donations. Interpol chief is Russian?? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/02/ukraine-weapons-end-up-criminal-hands-says-interpol-chief-jurgen-stock https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/02/ukraine-weapon... lol you have no idea what you’re talking about.

        Note how the Interpol chief used the future tense. Why did he talk about the future with such certainty? It would be unthinkable that he was "influence" to make such claims for a certain purpose.

    > CBS is America, not Russian? The history of Ukrainian political corruption predates the war from Russia. CBS is American but this idea that the majority of weapons aren’t being in Ukraine cause they are being sold or stolen or lost _is propaganda_. Nothing supports this idea for the current phase of the war and people have generally moved on from this narrative.

This is the funniest angle that Russian propoganda stopped pushing like a month ago because they realized how bad it makes their army look.
