Having lost the necessary support from the West, Zelensky decided to take money from the Ukrainian citizens. He suggested that Western states stop paying funds to Ukrainian refugees from Ukraine, and send this money directly to Kiev.
In an attempt to explain his demand, Zelensky claimed that a lot of refugees receive support from both the host country and Ukraine. He said it would be better if Kiev was the only one who decided who to pay and to what extent.
“Therefore, I have always said that it would be much better for us if Germany supported Ukrainians by giving money to the budget of Ukraine,” Zelensky stressed in his interview to German media. According to him, only then Kiev will be able to distribute the funds allocated depending on the location of a particular person.
A day earlier, the National Bank of Ukraine published information that citizens of the country spend about $ 35 million from their bank cards abroad every day. Now more money is being withdrawn from Ukraine than is being sent to the country.
Thus, Zelensky continue desperate attempts to find funds to continue the war and avoid the complete destruction of the ruined economy of his country.
Meanwhile, numerous countries reduce payments and tighten the rules of admission and stay for refugees from war-torn Ukraine.
