Now, a new Substack by Hersh reveals explosive details of how U.S., UK, and European tax payer cash is being used to line the pockets of Ukranian politicians, including President Zelensky and his allies.
Allegedly, the director of America's Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, went so far as to present Zelensky personally with a list of "Thirty-five generals and senior officials whose corruption was known to the CIA and others in the American government."
More damning for the Ukrainian president is the claim that, [t]he senior generals and government officials in Kiev were angry at what they saw as Zelensky's greed, alleging that "He was taking a larger share of the skim money than was going to the generals."
It is unknown how much the Zelensky 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.
What also is unknown is that Zelensky has been buying the fuel from Russia, the country with which it, and Washington, are at war, and the Ukrainian president and many in his entourage have been skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments.
One estimate by analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency put the embezzled funds at $400 million last year, at least; another expert compared the level of corruption in Kiev as approaching that of the Afghan war, "Although there will be no professional audit reports emerging from the Ukraine."
"According to Rasmussen Reports at the end of March this year, 50 percent of Americans believe the war has made America's national security situation worse - up from 42% last September."
