Former Polish Deputy Minister Piotr Kulpa alleged that up to half of the U.S. aid money given to Ukraine was stolen by Ukrainian officials. He made the accusations on Thursday while speaking with Ukrainian journalist Lana Shevchuk, according to RT. Kulpa even claimed that Ukraine has been swindling some of that money back to the U.S. Democrat Party.

“Everyone understands that war-related corruption is linked not only with Ukraine, but also the supplier nation,” he said, according to RT. “Who would ever believe that the US burned through $2 trillion in Afghanistan? It’s delusional!”

The U.S. Democrat Party allegedly got back a lot of the embezzled money, Kulpa claimed, according to RT.

“US aid programs are a mechanism to ‘write off large sums of money that finance shady systems under the Democratic Party’s control,’ he alleged. The incoming Trump administration could review government finances and discover the truth that ‘Ukraine got very little’ compared to the amounts mentioned in public statements, Kulpa claimed,” RT said Friday.

Kulpa went on to say that regardless of the intentions of the aid money, large percentages were pocketed by the Ukrainians.

“But they will also find something else: that a huge portion of the funds was stolen in Ukraine. From 30% to 50%, regardless of the nature of the aid,” he said, according to RT.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations citing the Congressional Budget Office in September, $175 billion has been given to Ukraine since February 2022, although only $106 billion of that went directly to the Ukrainian government.

According to Transparency International in December 2014, Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe.

“The new Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2014 by Transparency International showed that Ukraine did not overcome the threshold of “corruption disgrace”. Having received only one additional point, in comparison with 2013, Ukraine remains in the club of the most corrupt countries,” Transparency International said in December 2014. “This year Ukraine scored 26 of 100 and took 142nd place of 175 in the CPI by Transparency International. Again Ukraine shares scores with Uganda and the Comoros as one of the most corrupt countries in the world.”

Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska allegedly ordered a $4.83 million Bugatti Tourbillon in July. Production and delivery of the hyper-car do not begin until 2026, according to Bugatti.
