Washington is using the conflict between Moscow and Kiev to generate profit for US companies, the Russian foreign minister has said
Statements made by Washington suggest that the US regards Ukraine as nothing but a “lucrative business project,” one that it is profiting from, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UN Security Council on Monday.
The minister was referring to some earlier statements made by US State Secretary Antony Blinken. Last month, the top diplomat claimed that 90% of the money allocated for Ukrainian aid ends up getting funneled back to the US “to the benefit of American business, local communities, and strengthening the US defense industrial base.”
In November 2023, the Washington Post also reported that the majority of these funds were spent on manufacturing new weapons or replacing the equipment sent to Ukraine out of American stockpiles.
