Ukraine has been a money-laundering operation for Democrats/Bidens primarily since at least Victoria Nuland's 'color revolution' there.

USAID involved in routing the money, memo alleges
The declassified report is a summary of raw intercepts from U.S. spy agencies in late 2022 concerning the alleged plot, and officials who have reviewed the files said there seemed to be a lack of curiosity to investigate such an explosive allegation of foreign interference in a U.S. election.
"The Ukrainian Government and unspecified U.S. Government personnel, through USAID in Kyiv, reportedly developed a plan that would provide hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90% of funds allocated to the DNC to fund Joe Biden's reelection campaign," the declassified summary of the intercepts stated.
"They were confident the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At this time, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose," the report added.
The intercepts mentioned two American subcontractors as possible recipients of the money that would eventually be moved to Democratic coffers, officials said. The names are included in still classified raw spy data but were redacted from the declassified report obtained by Just the News.
"The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track," the declassified summary stated. "Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify. In this manner, most of the U.S. funding would be diverted to Joe Biden's election campaign without the ability to track where exactly the funds came from."
More at the Just The News link. USAID/USIP were principle tools for DNC graft, and the massive 'green new deal' just expanded the operation's reach using the war as cover. Remember,
VP Biden was the Obama administration's chief envoy to Ukraine, and always treated it like his personal fiefdom, before he became demented peepaw.

The public humiliation of Poroshenko illustrated the unusually aggressive approach
employed by Biden, the Obama administration's chief Ukraine envoy, to bring the
distant but strategically important former Soviet republic closer to the West.
(Note, there was never anything 'strategically important' about that corrupt cesspool to the American people.)
This particular scheme 'only' involved hundreds of millions of dollars, and is likely just a small fraction of the total
USAID funding (via over 100 programs) that was skimmed by the Democrats/Biden crime familia in Ukraine. Note some of the connections:
Quote:
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), long the primary spigot for American funding in Ukraine, has abruptly shut down the majority of its programs in the country, exposing a labyrinth of alleged corruption, money laundering and political favoritism that funneled billions back to Washington-linked entities. According to data reviewed by RT and confirmed by NBC News, over 100 USAID initiatives in Ukraine once earmarked as part of a $825 million effort to shore up Ukraine's power grid a lifeline for both civilians and military operations. Its termination, according to a USAID official who spoke to NBC on condition of anonymity, "significantly undercuts this administration's ability to negotiate a ceasefire" and "signals to Russia that we don't care about Ukraine or our past investments."

The money laundering nexus: How USAID funds circulated back to Washington
Vasilyev's assertion that USAID served as a "black fund" for American nonprofits aligns with a pattern of financial obfuscation that spans decades. The agency, founded in 1961 as a Cold War tool to counter Soviet influence, has long operated with minimal oversight, its budgets shielded by bipartisan support for "democracy promotion" abroad. Yet as Trump's audit revealed, USAID's grants often flowed to organizations with tenuous connections to their stated missions and strong ties to U.S. political operatives.
A 2023 investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that nearly 40 percent of USAID's Ukraine funding was awarded to NGOs with board members or executives who had previously worked for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) or affiliated PACs. Among the recipients:
- The National Democratic Institute (NDI) received $85 million for "anti-corruption initiatives." Critics argue the funds were used to undermine Zelensky's political rivals.
- The Atlantic Council, a think tank with deep ties to the Pentagon and NATO, which was granted $60 million for "strategic communications" a euphemism, detractors say, for pro-Western propaganda.
"The system was designed to recycle money," Vasilyev explained. "USAID would disburse funds to a Ukrainian NGO, which would then subcontract an American firm often linked to the same political networks to 'implement' the project. The cash would circle back to D.C., minus a cut for the middlemen in Kyiv."
More at the link. With the utterly corrupt Biden familia at the helm, the war was a perfect opportunity to quite literally explode the circular cash pipeline via USAID-Ukraine. Thank goodness Rubio seems to have cut that off last year, and I'd note the desperate cash position of the
DNC (and their outside groups) this year which is likely...not a coincidence.
