Ukraine War: Zelensky Embezzled $400 Million Allocated By The US For Purchasing Fuel – Seymour Hersh
Eurasian Times ^ | 4-12-23 | By EurAsian Times Desk

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars that the US allocated for the purchase of fuel, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh.

In his blog, Hersh writes – The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been using American taxpayers’ funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia.

It is unknown how much the Zalensky government is paying per gallon for the fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, into Afghanistan during the decades-long American war there.

The issue of corruption was directly raised with Zelensky in a meeting last January in Kyiv with CIA Director William Burns. His message to the Ukrainian president, I was told by an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the meeting, was out of a 1950s mob movie.

My heart aches for the common soldiers who answer the call for service, love their country, live in a dirty, cold trench and have their limbs blown off - all in the service of filthy corrupt crooks and ideologues in Kiev and DC.

Between you and Hersh, one of you indeed is not believable, that much is true, hint: it’s you.

Hersh backs up his claims with evidence. You, not so much.

You sure loves you some Wikipedia.

The COMMUNITY-EDITED “information” “source”.

And you claim Hersh deals in misinformation? ROFL.

"....the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline...."

Wow! I wonder how much kickback Austin and Milley were getting on this. (We know what Biden gets.)

I can totally believe this story—in fact, it’s what I assumed was taking place all along.

You can rest assured this is a drop in the Ol bucket.

By the time TheBigGuy gets his share and all the corrupt politicians pull some bits out, the money is in the billions

Zeepers hate Hersh, because the truth hurts.


LOL. The Chomskyite crazies have always loved Hersh. It’s only very recently he has become an icon of the “conservative” movement.

“but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline”

Wouldn’t it be cheaper and better for the environment to send them windmills? They could use electric missiles that way.

I believe Seymour, my own self.

I recall seeing him on some news show and he spoke about meeting Monica Lewinsky.

He said "Oh no, she didn't seem suicidal at all."

It's about damn time somebody did some investigative journalism around here. Why should Miranda Devine have to do all the work?

Incorrect - Joe and the rest of the Biden crime syndicate always gets their cut. And remember, the Bidens are the bagmen for the true criminals behind the throne...

There is always another story behind every story Zelensky tells. I disdained him before the war and even more now. ....he's robbed his own people and other nations all along and prior.

US Official said it's solely up to Zelensky when he wants to negotiate with Putin to end the war.....he won't negotiate until he's bleed our nation of $$ and his nation in a continued blood bath. ....standard Ukrainian leadership ...Zelensky's just getting more of more this time around.

Further......Ukrainian regime change is inevitable if Russia's objective of 'denazification' is to be achieved because the current far-right, nationalist, ukrainian regime is neither politically nor ideologically qualified nor willing whatsoever, to negotiate a neutrality stance for its country. There has to be another political elite in power to negotiate and implement the post-war status.
