"Sources familiar with the matter" triggers my bullshit detectors, but IF it is true, this would be hilarious:
He explained that according to one source in the American intelligence community, Zelensky has been purchasing "discount diesel" from Russia with American money, and stashing the leftover funds.
Europe is fucking its economy so that they don't use Russian gas while supporting a guy who is buying Russian gas to embezzle. (Although, why would Russia be selling diesel to fuel the vehicles of a nation they're at war with? This claim makes me think someone has oversimplified the supply chain in their reporting, or is spreading outright bullshit).
As much as I like to shit on Biden's little money laundering nation, "sources familiar with the matter" means the report is BS. No one says "sources familiar with the matter" if they have an expert, audited, professional, or even inside source.
Only $400m? I'm surprised.
That's all they could find left in the cookie jar after the western governments took a breather.
Was that before or after the defense contractors?
One in and the same.
That's all they feel comfortable reporting at the current time.
News like this will trickle out to give the GAE plausible deniability to leave Ukraine.
10% for the big guy
That just needs we need to send another $400 million to cover the corruption.
Slava Ukraine!
It's got something to do with Slavs

The number could be anywhere from 0-100 billion.
Only $400 million out of $100 billion? That's a fraction of a percent. That's less than a credit card transaction fee!
oh so it's bullshit, lol
Embezzlement is illegal if you or I do it regardless of what percent we embezzled.
Ukraine was corrupt, is corrupt, and will always be corrupt. They're a Little Russia.
