Ukraine really is our 51st state. Ukrainian President Zelensky is calling for $40 billion annually into the unforeseeable future. Just so you know that money goes to pay off his bureaucrats’ salaries, pensions, and medical. We’re his sugar daddy.
Lindsey Graham snuck $48B in the Big Beautiful Bill for Volodymyr. We don’t know if it’s still in there.
Zelensky says he needs it to keep fighting Russia. Why are we fighting Russia again?
The Ukrainian leader wanted to corner President Trump, but he had to leave due to turmoil in the Middle East.
After being sidelined in favour of the Middle East war, Zelensky blasted his demands on social media on Tuesday.
“It’s crucial to have $40 billion annually in budgetary support for Ukraine – to ensure our resilience and the ability of our country to carry on. This should be a joint decision by G7 leaders, including the U.S,” the Ukrainian leader wrote.

He brought in the big guns, socialite Cindy, speaking for the late John McCain.
I met with the @WFPChief, Cindy McCain.
I thanked her for the continued attention to our country and our people. Mrs. McCain’s husband, Senator John McCain, who sadly is no longer with us, also visited Ukraine multiple times and supported Ukrainians.

Zelensky asked the Europeans to “continue urging President Trump to use the influence he really has – to force Putin to end this war.”
“It was the U.S. and President Trump who proposed a ceasefire, the resumption of diplomacy, immediate meetings and negotiations. But Russia has blocked every effort,” he said.
“This war continues because of Russia. From the start, it has been an unprovoked and criminal war of aggression. We must not forget that. We must continue applying pressure in every direction – diplomatic, economic, military – to finally bring peace,” Zelensky added.
Zelensky seeks $40bn a year for ‘resilience’.
The Ukrainian leader has appealed for continued aid after Trump refused to meet with him at a G7 event.
The money would go to pay for standard government expenses such as pensions and health service. Government salaries are also… pic.twitter.com/anZy4Io8rk

Zelensky loses on all counts.
Canada, from which Zelensky wanted to receive $40 billion in annual aid, refused to provide it.
Trump ran away. The others managed to walk away.

I have a finger for this man. Any guess which one?
Zelensky = FAILURE. Somebody PLEASE STOP THIS MISERY. #BHOGFY
What are the chances that Zelensky is Newsom’s twin brother?!! They’re both arrogant extortionist, with zero remorse for the damage they are inflicting on the very people they claim to be protecting!! I say give him the $40 billion, and pay it in cash with Monopoly Money because that all it is to him at this point.
Graham has a serious challenger for the primary next June. If the $48 B was not in the house bill, then the house should remove it.
Well stated. Z’s logic about the money needed could be accurate, but that does not mean the USA should pay him. He has mismanaged what could have been a wealthy country.
Trump seems to be siding with Lindsey Graham lately and has taken up the “pro-war” mantel that nobody voted for.
What is nice is the conflict in Iran is jacking up the price of oil, which is a windfall for Russia and their war effort against Zelenskyy.
