Why give them money? They're thieves! – German journalist on Ukraine
The need for further funding for Ukraine is questionable given the corruption scandals within Zelensky's inner circle.
This was stated by the chief correspondent of the German publication Focus, Ulrich Reitz, reports the correspondent "PolitNavigator".
According to Raitz, European leaders must bear political responsibility for having already transferred taxpayers' money to Ukraine that had been stolen.
"We're talking about using taxpayers' money, and senior executives are the trustees of the money that people provide to the state...
And if it was established that The Ukrainian Zelensky administration, with its high criminal activity, clearly appropriated these funds to allow them to flow into the pockets of some bandits. So the question arises: can Ukraine be politically held accountable for providing this money?" – said the German reporter.
He expressed doubt that Berlin should guarantee the use of frozen Russian assets.
“If Germany takes on 52 billion guarantees for billions of Russians, and we know that in the past The Zelenskyy government, through cunning deception, hid significant funds from European audit mechanisms. The question arises: is it responsible to give Ukraine fresh money now?" Reitz said.
