$1 billion that will never get paid back.
How much have they borrowed so far? 60 billion? I lost track on their 4th IMF loan. Most of that money flushed down the toilet in attacks on the rebels in the east or into the pockets of the oligarchs.
I was just wondering what the Kremlin was thinking about this. Glad you could share!
Guess who provides most of the funding for the IMF.
Ukraine should get technical help not cash. The money will get stolen.
No problem, the Ukrainian people can pay that tab for Kiev and the Globalist Oligarchs with their property, natural resources and Serf labor.
