I mean, what are we, stupid?” Trump <a href="https://www.rt.com/news/611437-trump-ukraine-sanctions-putin/" target="_blank">said</a> last month. US Vice President J.D. Vance referenced the figure as early as last July, saying, “We have now spent $200 billion. What is the goal? What are we trying to accomplish?”In an interview with AP published on Sunday, Zelensky insisted that Ukraine never received even half of that sum.“When it is said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war – that’s not true. I don’t know where all that money went. Perhaps it’s true on paper with hundreds of different programs – I won’t argue, and we’re immensely grateful for everything. But in reality, we received about $76 billion. It’s significant aid, but it’s not $200 billion,” Zelensky said.<a href="https://www.rt.com/news/612066-usaid-block-doge-audit/" target="_blank"><img src="https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2025.02/xxs/679fe41485f540190116b2f4.jpg" alt="Musk accuses USAID of ‘covering up corruption’" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />READ MORE: Musk accuses USAID of ‘covering up corruption’</a>Since 2022, the US Congress has <a href="https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-us-aid-going-ukraine" target="_blank">authorized</a> roughly $175 billion for Ukraine, but a significant portion of that funding has reportedly gone to American industries and various US government activities related to the conflict. According to Germany’s Kiel Institute, as of October 2024, the US had allocated approximately $92 billion in financial and military aid to Ukraine, while EU countries and the UK had allocated $131 billion. Zelensky also insisted that he has seen little actual cash, as more than $70 billion of the aid came in the form of direct military assistance.“There are also many other humanitarian programs I’m uninformed about, except for knowing of their existence. Perhaps the US president’s administration will audit these programs and find additional billions, but I don’t know where those funds went,” he said.<a href="https://www.rt.com/news/610302-ukraine-accountable-stealing-western-aid/" target="_blank"><img src="https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2025.01/xxs/67758dd385f5400d0f5b943a.jpg" alt="Ukraine must be held accountable for ‘stealing’ US aid – retired Naval officer" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />READ MORE: Ukraine must be held accountable for ‘stealing’ US aid – retired Naval officer</a>Among his first actions upon returning to office, Trump suspended US foreign aid for 90 days to review its alignment with his administration’s objectives, vowing to put “America first.” The cut affected many Kiev-related initiatives, particularly those funded by grants from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).Over the weekend, USAID’s official website went offline, and its X account disappeared, amid reports that the White House was considering merging the agency into the State Department. The newly created US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, has reportedly sent inspectors to audit USAID’s activities.“USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die,” Musk wrote on Sunday. In a brief comment the same day, Trump also criticized the agency as being “run by a bunch of radical lunatics and we are getting them out.”</blockquote>
