One estimate by analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency put the embezzled funds at $400 million last year, at least; another expert compared the level of corruption in Kiev as approaching that of the Afghan war, \u201calthough there will be no professional audit reports emerging from the Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As I have noted, the Kremlin is not serious about war.\u00a0 Apparently,\u00a0Russia not only supplies European suppliers of weapons of war to Ukraine with energy, but also supplies Ukraine with the energy to enable its tanks and mobile weapons to kill Russians.<\/p>\n<p>It must be infuriating to be a patriotic Russian. Is the Kremlin intentionally trying to turn Russians against the conflict in Ukraine? \u00a0Why fight for a government that provisions its war enemy?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this could be CIA propaganda fed to Hersh for the purpose of demoralizing Russian citizens.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seymourhersh.substack.com\/p\/trading-with-the-enemy?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email\">https:\/\/seymourhersh.substack.com\/p\/trading-with-the-enemy?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"iqQ7azLQY0\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/\">Donate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Donate&#8221; &#8212; PaulCraigRoberts.org\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/embed\/#?secret=J5QugbzyJK#?secret=iqQ7azLQY0\" data-secret=\"iqQ7azLQY0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also see:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ftYTmUH3oF\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easternherald.com\/2023\/04\/11\/russia-transports-fuel-to-ukraine-via-riga-despite-sanctions\/\">Russia transports fuel to Ukraine via Riga despite sanctions<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Russia transports fuel to Ukraine via Riga despite sanctions&#8221; &#8212; The Eastern Herald\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easternherald.com\/2023\/04\/11\/russia-transports-fuel-to-ukraine-via-riga-despite-sanctions\/embed\/#?secret=20kB4psS2B#?secret=ftYTmUH3oF\" data-secret=\"ftYTmUH3oF\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2023\/04\/14\/seymour-hersh-reports-that-russia-is-selling-ukraine-the-vitally-needed-diesel-fuel-that-is-keeping-the-ukrainian-army-on-the-move-in-its-war-with-russia\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Craig Roberts and Seymour Hersch are not alone in reporting this.
