Grin

The fact he looks like of smug and he is on a Apple laptop makes it slighter funnier, I gotta admit it.

Anyways, I am not sure why you have decided to come and open this thread at such stage of the war, if anything, I personally find it a bit distasteful to make fun of leaders while their people mare killing one another in a hot war.
Still, enjoy your freedom of speech, you would not be able to do such a thing in Russia.
Also, I recall this type of memes became very popular during the presidential campaign of Harris versus Trump, specially in Twitter/X, and on the profile of accounts which were pro Trump and we're planning to vote Republican.

Just for the sake of clarity, Zelensky got weapons which were worth billions of dollars, he was not sent billions of dollars in cash. That is a very important difference most people willingly ignored on Twitter/X during the presidential campaign.

Someone has to pay soldiers, MPs, president's salary and ton of other goverment obligations. Plus someone must be propping the currency hryvnia from a complete collapse. So for the sake of clarity, besides weapons Ukraine was and is getting sent billions of dollars in foreign aid, to keep it from collapsing and running it's day to day operations. Sliding in the Corruption index to 105/180 place by definition implies that a lot of sent funds don't make it to their intended targets and instead get accumulated by corrupt politicians.

September 04, 2024 Supporting Ukraine’s government. As of May, USAID had obligated $22.9 billion for direct budget support for Ukraine’s government, largely to reimburse the government for eligible expenses, such as salaries for teachers, civil servants, and healthcare workers.

EU and other countries are also sending cash to keep the UA government afloat.

They are sending cash. But they are creating it out of thin air before sending it. This devalues all the currency in existence, and essentially steals from their own people thereby, giving it to Ukraine. So, as long as the people use their own currency, they are unwittingly supporting Ukraine simply by using their currency.

Cool
