Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky has boasted that Washington is providing him with a massive $1.5 billion per month for state coffers as the country piles up a large war-time deficit.
“The United States gives us $1.5 billion every month to support our budget to fight” against Russia the Ukrainian leader explained, during a CBS “Face the Nation” interview. He even pointed out that there remains “a deficit of $5 billion in our budget.”
Activist Post reports: He immediately pivoted to repeating Kyiv’s longtime complaint that it’s not enough – because it’s never enough – though by and large the common American taxpayer seems oblivious amid the onslaught of constant war headlines.

Zelensky said, after revealing the astonishing $1.5 billion in aid on a monthly basis figure, “But believe me, it’s not even nearly enough to cover the civilian infrastructure, schools, hospitals, universities, homes of Ukrainians. Why do we need this? We need the security in order to attract our Ukrainians to come back home.”
“If it’s safe, they will come, settle, work here and will pay taxes and then we won’t have a deficit of $5 billion in our budget. So it will be a positive for everybody,” the Ukrainian leader continued. “Because as of today the United States gives us $1.5 billion every month to support our budget to fight- fight this war. However, if our people will come back- and they do want to come back very much, they have a lot of motivation- they will work here.”
“And then the United States will not have to continue, give us this support,” he concluded, though the way things are going it could be years before the US might “not have to continue” the nonstop aid. Zelensky appeared to be trying to present a strange “win-win” for American, though again if average US taxpayers grasped the full enormity of it, they certainly might question that narrative.
Ironically, or tiresomely, just a day after Zelensky complained “But believe me, it’s not even nearly enough”… Congress is poised to push through another $12 billion, according Reuters.

Relating to Violations of the United States Constitution
PUBLIC DEBT
WE THE FREE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, by and through the Unalienable, Individual Rights Guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for the United States of America, hereby Petition the President of the United States and the members of the House of Representatives and Senate of the United States Congress for
Redress of our Grievances, to Honor their Oaths or Affirmations of Office and their Constitutional Obligations by responding to this Petition within forty (40) days, providing a formal acknowledgement of its receipt with a rebuttal of its legal arguments and statement of facts, or demonstrating a good faith effort to comply with its remedial instructions.
WHEREAS, by the terms and conditions of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution for the United States of America, We the People have expressly established a Republican Form of Government, empowering it to act only in certain ways, while purposely and patently restricting and prohibiting it from acting in certain other ways without Amendment, and
WHEREAS, the public debt is having a devastating, adverse impact on America’s economy and is contributing to the pauperization of Her People, and; WHEREAS, We the People are Entitled, By Right, to public debt that is Constitutionally valid, and;
WHEREAS, a portion of the debt of the United States was incurred in violation of the principle of Enumerated Powers, and in violation of Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 and Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution for the United States of America, and
WHEREAS, the First and Ninth Amendments to the Bill of Rights Guarantees to every American the Unalienable Right to hold the government (public servants) accountable to each and every principle, prohibition, restriction and mandate of the Declaration of Independence And Constitution for the United States of America, NOW THEREFORE:
WE THE PEOPLE hereby seek the following Remedies and Instruct the President and the members of Congress to respond to this First Amendment Petition for Redress of Grievances as follows:
1. Within forty (40) days following the service of this First Amendment Petition for Redress, the Congress of the United States, in the exercise of its power authorized by Article I, Section 7, Clause 1 of the Constitution for the United States of America, to originate “all bills for raising Revenue” and in the exercise of its power authorized by Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution for the United States of America “To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts…,” and in recognition of the prohibition in Article I, Section 9, Clause 6 of the Constitution for the United States of America that “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law,” and in recognition of the principle of “Enumerated Powers,” shall enact a statute:
(a) establishing a National Advisory Commission on the validity of the Public Debt,
and;
(b) calling upon each of the several States to establish their own State Advisory Commission on the validity of the Public Debt, and;
2. That the sole purpose of the said Advisory Commissions shall be to study, determine and quantify which part of the public debt is void and/or voidable under two principles of law, namely:
(i) Under the doctrine of the Supreme Court’s decision in Craig v. Missouri, 29 U.S. (4 Peters) 410 (1830), all contracts, agreements, or other arrangements in which any part of the consideration consists or consisted of the emission of unconstitutional “bills of credit” through or under the auspices of any Federal Reserve Bank, “member bank,” or “depositary institution” within the (privately owned) Federal Reserve System are void ab initio and unenforceable in any court of Law of the United States or of any State, and;
(ii) All alleged “public debts” of the United States, howsoever made and in whatever form, that have been incurred for the purpose of raising revenue to be expended from the general fund of the Treasury in payment of costs arising under a particular budget of the United States are void ab initio and unenforceable in any court of Law in the United States or of any State in the same percentage that the Unconstitutional programs, activities, or expenditures in that budget bear to the total programs, activities, or expenditures therein.
Furthermore, every lender is legally presumed to know, and must bear full and individual responsibility for, prior to such lending, having performed adequate due diligence and challenging, where appropriate, the intended use of such funds and the Constitutional limits regarding the bona fide, lawful expenditures of money the general government borrows, to the same extent that every official of such government knows and is bound by Law and the Constitution to those same limitations and restrictions of public use, and;
Specially, if a lender extends a loan to public officials, knowing that his loan will be used for Unconstitutional purposes, or with willful blindness, reckless disregard or negligence regarding the Unconstitutionality of those purposes, the lender has thereby established himself as a participant in a fraud against the American People.
For the repayment of the fraudulent portions of such loans, there is NO LAWFUL RECOURSE, and the American People Cannot be held liable for such repayment in Any court of Law.
3. That said Advisory Commission shall be made up of persons selected by a Committee composed of: Dr. Edwin Vieira, Dr. Lawrence M. Parks, Judge Andrew Napolitano, G. Edward Griffin, Ronald Mann and William Bergman, and;
4. That, within ninety (90) days from the effective date of the said statute, the National Advisory Commission shall submit to Congress a report containing complete and specific drafts of all such legislation as may be necessary and proper for Congress to enact in order to achieve the goals set out in Paragraph 2, ante, for the Government of the United States, and;
5. That, within sixty (60) days of its receipt of the National Advisory Commission’s report pursuant to Paragraph 5, ante, Congress shall enact such legislation as will achieve the goals set out in Paragraph 2, ante, for the Government of the United States, and;
6. The President shall cooperate with and assist the Congress and the National Advisory
Commission in the performance of Paragraphs 1-5 above.
