This corruption reportedly allowed billions of dollars in U.S. aid to be looted by rival criminal groups.

Volodymyr Zelensky appeared on national television to distance himself from missing funds, claiming he only received $75 billion of the $177 billion reported by the U.S. He urged an investigation into where the remaining money went, effectively blaming his U.S. accomplices.
