“Does anyone really think that Washington will spend more than $40 billion on armaments because it cares about Ukraine’s borders and democracy in Ukraine?” Vauro Senesi asked this question after the lightning visit of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the US in a video on Twitter. Zelenskyy was received at the White House by US President Joe Biden. Ukraine will get Patriot missiles to defend its skies and a new aid package.
“Zelensky is returning from Washington where he met Biden, he’s also bringing the Patriots home. With these additional armaments, since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the United States has spent over $40 billion on aid and armaments for Ukraine, I want to ask you a very simple question: does anyone really think that Washington is spending more than $40 billion on armaments, because it cares about the borders of Ukraine and democracy in Ukraine?” says the cartoonist.
