Even Zerohedge is reporting about it.
That Ukraine’s corrupt politicians have stolen tens of billions wasn’t news since 2023. The question is which US and European politicians, NGOs and publications got kickbacks and bribes for years to allow the money laundering to continue.

There are rumors Kaja Kallas is being investigated by FBI for the Ukraine money laundering scheme. No doubt heat is increasing on other EU officials/politicians as well.https://x.com/TheMarcitect/status/1994780135753728240https://x.com/Hermann130164/status/1994706591090614705Posted by: unimperator | Nov 30 2025 5:56 utc | 202
Like, call me cynical, but rumor or otherwise I think it’s theater – I’d think the FBI and those EU bigwigs were joined at the hip or something.

Europe/Deep State/Z won’t give Russia a peace plan that Russia will sign…they plan to hang the Ukraine albatross around Trump’s neck and ruin Mid Terms, MAGA, and trash Trump forever.

I said something very similar a few weeks back, and in broad terms I said it a year ago … “He who smiles when things go wrong, has found Trump to blame it on.”
Timing is key of course … the plan is to keep saying that Ukraine will win any minute … then turn on a dime and flip over to, “It was going great then Trump blew it!”
And yeah, of course try to get maximum impact for the mid-terms. Trump knows full well what’s coming and he regularly blames everything on Biden.

It could be possible in the case it’s Trump’s way of pressuring EU to accept the ‘peace deal’.
The Eurolosers are terrified of bad optics, and even more importantly, prospect of jail. They will flip flop around, do anything to avoid it.

“I have never seen Kiev look like this ………..”

It seems that russian attacks on the Ukraine / Kiev have a MAJOR impact on the energy grid in Kiev. A LOT OF propaganda outlets emphasises the large russian losses but here is a report that highlights the dire (energy) situation in Kiev. I consider this to be one of the most honest reports of the situation in both Russia and the Ukraine. It’s – at least – a very refreshing view. Although I don’t agree for the full 100%.
