www.yahoo.com Ukraine has received less than half of US assistance allocated during full-scale war, Zelensky says

Zelensky implied that half of U.S. assistance was "lost" due to corruption or lobbying from the side of U.S. companies. Ukraine's head of state said this in response to Fridman's question about corruption concerns in Ukraine.

Ukraine has not received even half of the $177 billion the U.S. allocated to support Kyiv throughout the full-scale war, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with U.S. podcaster Lex Fridman released on Jan. 5.

While acknowledging corruption in Ukraine, Zelensky said that his country works hard to combat it through the "most complex" anti-corruption system in Europe. He also said that what would be called "corruption" in Ukraine might be called "lobbyism" elsewhere.

No western country should complain bout corruption in Ukraine.

Was it stolen by Israeli terrorists?

Honest question, what about the EU help, is that similarly tied down?
