Russia’s State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin took to his Telegram channel to highlight that the US and its partners do not plan to provide real assistance to Ukraine.

Ukraine will only get 15% of the $40 billion promised by the US, he said.

"Washington and Brussels do not really intend to help Ukraine, or solve its economic and social issues. They only need Ukraine to fight Russia till the last Ukrainian," Volodin said.

According to the recent aid to Ukraine legislation signed by President Joe Biden, 35% of the $40 billion is going to finance the US Armed Forces, he explained. Meanwhile, 45.2% of that amount is set to be spent on other countries, not Ukraine, while another 4.8% will be earmarked to support refugees, and restore the US diplomatic mission in Ukraine. "Ukraine will only receive 15% of the allotted sum," the speaker revealed.

Wouldn't surprise me. So Ukraine is getting a $6 billion loan of war goods to fight America's proxy war against Russia at the expense of their own lives, and needs to pay it back with about 566% interest?

And out of that paltry 6 billion, how much of it actually will make it to the soldiers on the front line?

This will guarantee an end to the war in Ukraine. Soon to be a land locked nation.

The Ukraine should lose the war and divide the country up with Poland, Hungary and Russia. No debt.
