Polish ex-prime minister demands Zelensky account for use of aid

Former Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller stated that aid to Kyiv must be suspended until Zelensky accounts for how the previously received money, tanks, and other equipment were used.

When a journalist asked whether he was hinting at embezzlement of funds, Miller replied that it was a “well-known fact.”

Professor Nikolai Mezhevich, in a comment to aif.ru, assessed the consequences of these accusations for Zelensky.

“Zelensky is already completely indifferent to what the consequences will be in the medium term. The West, for its part, will not acknowledge its mistakes. The dispute about tanks with Miller or anyone else will quietly fade away, just as the corruption scandals faded away,” the expert said.

At the same time, Mezhevich noted that the volume of military aid to Kyiv will decrease, though this is not specifically connected to the accusations of theft against Zelensky.

“The volume of aid will decrease, but regardless of this particular scandal. Above all because resources are scarce. Moreover, influential people in Germany itself are increasingly asking why weapons that the country’s own military department lacks are being transferred to Ukraine, and why money earned by German citizens is being spent in a different direction,” Mezhevich clarified.

It was previously reported that the Donald Trump administration plans to redirect approximately €46.1 million in military aid to Latin America instead of Middle Eastern and European countries, some of which had been prepared to forgo that money in favor of Ukraine.
