Tonight, I want to address the ongoing situation with Ukraine. I called Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, a dictator, which is a term Putin would love to hear. I said Zelensky should move fast or he won't have a country left, noting his poor job and the shattered state of Ukraine. Some say I echoed Putin's talking points by questioning Zelensky's legitimacy due to the cancellation of elections. I mentioned that Zelensky admitted half the money we sent is missing, which he didn't say, and that his poll numbers are very low, but that's not true either.

I'm glad to be working with you all to make this deal happen. The Ukrainian people on both sides are trying to stop a world war. We need to provide you with weaponry because Russia is not a threat and has always hated us. I'm trying to make a deal here, so whose side are you on? We're about action, not empty words. Diplomacy is what makes America strong. We had a ceasefire, but it was broken. I believe you should be grateful and not act disrespectfully. You were campaigning on the other side, but now you're on the right side, so you should be thankful. We're getting you $350 million, and without us, this would be over quickly. We had a ceasefire, but you're not listening. We've been helping you destroy tanks, while others have only given you sheets. Wars don't happen under my watch. Now, let's get some lunch, and then we'll sign the papers. Do you have your pen?

I want to address the figures being circulated about the financial aid Ukraine has received from the U.S. I often hear numbers like $177 billion, or even $200 billion, being cited. As the President of a nation at war, I can tell you that we've received just over $75 billion. The difference is significant. This aid isn't given as cash, but primarily as weaponry. The $75 billion covers the cost of arms, training, transportation, humanitarian programs and social support. Claims that Ukraine has received $200 billion in military aid are simply untrue, and I don't know where that money is supposedly going.

I just signed a $200,000,000 drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

America's strength lies in diplomacy, which we are pursuing with the current president. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine back in 2014, and despite numerous conversations and ceasefire agreements, they continued attacks. My administration is trying to prevent the destruction of your country. Everyone faces challenges during war, but you need to appreciate the support you're receiving. We've provided substantial financial and military aid. If you had to fight this war on your own, it would have been over in two weeks. Be thankful. It's important for the American people to see what's happening. Without our support, you don't have a chance. We gave you javelins, not just sheets. I have empowered you, but without us, you're vulnerable. Make a deal, or we're out. You're not acting thankful at all.

We have artillery, but is it sufficient? Ukrainian soldiers can't operate American tanks. Let's show the world that the United States is present. Translation: We have artillery, but is it enough? Ukrainian soldiers cannot operate American tanks. Let's show the world that the United States is here.

Regarding military equipment, while documents show significant aid, the reality is different. Out of the supposed $183 billion from the US over three years, $67 billion arrived as weapons, checked and verified, a process shared with the American side. Additionally, $31.5 billion was direct financial support to the budget. This is all transparent, digitized, and accessible. We encourage anyone to review it. We maintain complete openness.

I'm looking for the money. Zelensky, where's the money? NATO says you're good for it. So again, where's the money, Zelensky? I need to know, where's the money? Also, where's the fucking money she had?

We are actively discussing how to support Ukraine, having recently engaged with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky. We have provided over $10 billion in aid, including military equipment like drones, armored vehicles, guns, and ammunition. We will continue to support Ukraine by purchasing necessary equipment on the international market. Our commitment to Ukraine is unwavering as we stand by our allies in the face of Russian aggression.

Up to half the weapons we send Ukraine are being sold off, often to drug cartels at our border. This isn't speculation; it's fact. Our intelligence agencies know this is happening. They, and likely the CIA, are profiting from it. Billions of dollars in aid are being stolen and sold to our enemies. Zelensky recently denied these claims, and the media reported his denial. But it's true: anyone can easily buy Ukrainian weapons online. This is a crime, and no one is talking about it.

Up to half the weapons we send Ukraine are being sold, not by guess, but by fact. A significant portion ends up in the hands of drug cartels at our border. Intelligence agencies are aware of this, and I believe they profit from it. Billions of dollars' worth of arms are being stolen and sold to our enemies. Zelensky denied these claims in an interview, and the media simply reported his denial. However, it's a fact that one can easily purchase Ukrainian weapons online. This is a crime.

I've asked Congress to investigate where the money sent to Ukraine has gone. The American people deserve to know, as it's our taxpayer money. There's reason to be concerned because Ukraine has been known for corruption and money laundering. It's not just a billion dollars; it's a hundred times that amount sent to one country. Zelenskyy claimed Russia fired a rocket into Poland, which would be an act of war, but it turned out the rocket came from Ukraine. If Zelenskyy is going to beg the world for more money and demand more from the US, he needs to be more careful about making global statements that could bring us to the brink of war. We can't have full faith and trust by giving a leader a hundred billion dollars when he says, "I'm not telling you where the money went."

We're spending $350 billion, and Europe gets their money back as a loan, while we're just giving it away. Why didn't Biden demand equalization? Zelensky, a dictator without elections, better move fast or he won't have a country left. If he asks Biden for money, Biden says yes. What about the foreign bank accounts and the woman the FBI didn't interview? What if we started opening those bank accounts? He's compromised. I'm not saying that's happening, but it could happen.

**Original Language Summary:** Президент Байден сильно обеспокоен коррупцией в Украине и требует ее решения, иначе оружие не будет поставляться. Он постоянно говорит, что если ситуацию не взять под контроль, то он найдет виновных. Союзники хотят, чтобы во время войны боролись с коррупцией, чтобы образ украинцев был чистым: ни коррупции, ни расизма, ни гомофобии. Без коррупции вся администрация развалится, потому что все хотят заработать, особенно сейчас. Каждый ворует деньги и является частью коррупции. Никто не будет заниматься войной за деньги. Шульц и поляки тоже создают проблемы. **English Translation:** President Biden is very concerned about corruption in Ukraine and demands a solution, otherwise weapons will not be supplied. He keeps saying that if the situation is not brought under control, he will find those responsible. Allies want corruption to be fought during the war so that the image of Ukrainians is clean: no corruption, no racism, no homophobia. Without corruption, the entire administration would collapse because everyone wants to make money, especially now. Everyone steals money and is part of the corruption. No one will wage war for money. Scholz and the Poles are also creating problems.

That's your interpretation, not mine, and definitely not a betrayal. We acknowledge the significant commitment made over the years. As President Trump has noted, the U.S. has contributed the most to the Ukrainian mission, exceeding $300 billion. The United States has invested in stabilizing the front lines after Russian aggression. Therefore, there is no betrayal. The U.S., along with the rest of the world, is invested and interested in achieving a negotiated peace.

We're also wondering about the money situation in Ukraine. The U.S. has given over $174 billion and has inspectors on the ground to track it. Some of that money is spent here to build weapons systems that we send over, so it's not all sitting in a bank in Ukraine. Regarding elections, every democratic state has them, even during wars. The Ukrainian constitution currently prevents them until the war ends, but they will eventually need to hold them. That doesn't mean Zelensky should leave, but the willingness to have elections, even during wartime, is a sign of a healthy democracy. Next week, we're going to the Munich Security Conference, but reports that we're presenting a peace plan are false. I did not speak with that news network. If there is a peace plan, it will be presented by the President of the United States, not myself.

I just signed a $200 million drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

Okay, so sending in offensive equipment like planes and tanks would be World War III. That being said, the US will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. We have artillery, but honestly, it's not enough. We're basically out of money, so I'm sending Congress a supplemental budget request, so the Ukrainian people will be able to receive pensions and social support. This is the largest assistance package from the US to Ukraine yet: $3 billion in direct aid. The US will also send over a billion dollars in new aid, plus another $150 million in military assistance. The US locked down an additional $2 billion in military aid, and the total now stands close to $130 billion.

I am working very hard to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security. Do you want to keep it going for another five years? 2,000 people are being killed every single week, or more. They're Russian young people. They're Ukrainian young people. They're not Americans, but I want it to stop. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far. They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending Ukraine.

Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, including Crimea, starting in 2014. During the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations, no one stopped him as people died on the contact line. In 2019, I signed a ceasefire deal with Macron, Merkel, and him, but he broke it, killing people and not exchanging prisoners. We need diplomacy to end the destruction of Ukraine. We have problems during the war, like everyone else. We are staying strong and thankful for the support, but we are not winning. You have given us billions of dollars in military equipment. I have said thank you many times to the American people. We want to stop the war, but we want a ceasefire with guarantees. Ask our people about a ceasefire. Obama gave us sheets, but Trump gave us javelins. Without your support, we have no cards.

The United States has been sending hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense, with no end in sight, and with no security. Do you want to keep this going for another five years? Two thousand people, or more, are being killed every single week.

Zelensky got the U.S. to spend $350 billion on a war that was unwinnable and unnecessary, a war that wouldn't have started under my presidency. Without U.S. involvement, this war will never end. The U.S. has spent far more than Europe, who will get their money back as a loan, unlike us. Why didn't Biden demand equalization, especially since this war affects Europe more? Zelensky admits half the money we sent is missing and refuses to hold elections. He played Biden, a dictator without elections needs to act fast. We will negotiate an end to the war with Russia because Biden and Europe have failed. Zelensky is upset he wasn't invited to Saudi Arabia. The losses are staggering, and Zelensky has done a terrible job. To end the war, you must talk to both sides, which hasn't happened for three years. We aim for a ceasefire and stability in Europe and the Middle East.

There's a new report out from the Defense IG stating that American defense officials didn't fully account for nearly 40,000 weapons that the U.S. provided to Ukraine. These are sensitive materials, small enough to be bartered or put on the black market. I'd refer you to the Defense Department for a more detailed reaction. Speaking broadly, we've been interested in improving accountability over the end use of the material provided to Ukraine for many months now. We've discussed this with our Ukrainian partners, and they share our concerns about accountability.

I recently attended a meeting in an expensive Alpine town, overwhelmingly populated by wealthy Ukrainians spending lavishly. This is a pattern across Europe; the richest people are Ukrainian. This money, I believe, should belong to American taxpayers. Furthermore, I know that a significant portion, possibly half, of the arms we send to Ukraine are being sold, some ending up with drug cartels on our border. Our intelligence agencies are aware of this. The media reports Zelensky's denials, but the New York Times could easily order Ukrainian weapons online—this is a fact. The official death toll is likely a lie; the entire situation is a deception. Sending billions in aid without tracking its use is irresponsible, and the possibility of these weapons being used against us is terrifying. This situation mirrors the issues we faced with the Mujahideen in the 80s. The lack of transparency and accountability is appalling.
