Zelensky-Trump Breaking: US Sent $200 Billion Aid To Attack Russia Missing | Who Took US’ War Money?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has refuted claims made by former U.S. President Donald Trump, stating that the U.S. has not sent $200 billion in aid to Ukraine as Trump has asserted. Zelensky clarified that the actual amount of U.S. aid received by Ukraine is around $75 billion, with the majority being military assistance. Trump, along with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, has repeatedly referenced the $200 billion figure, sparking controversy and speculation. Zelensky expressed confusion about the origins of this inflated figure, questioning where the missing funds went, while acknowledging the significant aid Ukraine has received. The U.S. Congress has authorized approximately $175 billion in aid, but much of this went towards industries and government activities in the U.S. rather than direct assistance to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the U.S. government has scrutinized foreign aid channels, with Trump’s administration suspending foreign aid programs and proposing audits of agencies like USAID. As Ukraine continues to battle Russian aggression, Zelensky's remarks highlight the ongoing controversy over U.S. support and the growing tension around the true extent of aid provided to Ukraine. #ZelenskyTrumpAidDispute #MissingWarMoney #USaidToUkraine #TrumpVsZelensky #UkraineAidDebate #USSupportToUkraine #ForeignAidControversy #ZelenskyOnAid #TrumpAidClaims #USAidAudit #RussiaWarFunding #BillionDollarDiscrepancy #ZelenskyRefutesTrump #USForeignPolicy #MilitaryAidRevealed ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~
