Corruption in US vassal state Ukraine is "rampant", charges Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his latest Substack article. At least $400 M have been embezzled buying Diesel fuel from Russia, with which the Ukraine is allegedly at war. Hersh charges a "total breakdown" of leadership and trust in the US government as "the US army is getting ready to go to war."

The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been "using American taxpayers' funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel" including fuel from Russia, which it – and the USA – are ostensibly at war with, Hersh writes.

Ukrainian President Zelensky and many in his entourage have been "skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments", Hersh writes. "One estimate by analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency put the embezzled funds at $400 million last year, at least. "

Hersh's sources compared the level of corruption to that of the Afghan war, where the US puppet government embezzled $19 billion, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR).

The intel sources predicted "there will be no professional audit reports emerging from the Ukraine." Several House Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene have called for an audit of US taxpayer spending in Ukraine.

Corrupt politicians in Kiev have been literally "competing … to set up front companies for export contracts for weapons and ammunition with private arms dealers around the world, all of which provide kickbacks", Hersh wrote. "I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there are others in places like the Cayman Islands and Panama, and there are lots of Americans involved," a US expert on international trade told Hersh.
