Julian Zelensky : U.S. expanded NATO to the borders of Russia , then enabled and funded the cynical maladministration by the Zelensy government.

Zelenski government uses the war to quash media stories that question Ukrainian spending of taxpayer dollars, he says.

Zelenky had no interest in diplomacy, because ending the war would mean ending the state of emergency, new elections and a change in the structure of international assistance, he writes.

Defense Ministry loyalists at the Defense Ministry misspent record amounts of money in record time.

They also tapped into assistance in kind, another lucrative source of enrichment.

Weapons sent to Ukraine for its defense were diverted to Nigeria ’s Lake Chad region, “bolstering the strength of terrorist groups”.
