He explained that without such a step, any proposed negotiations would be as illegitimate as Vladimir Zelensky, whose presidential mandate expired last spring.<\/p>\n<p>The US and its allies have channeled more than $200 billion in aid to Kiev, ranging from weapons, equipment, and ammunition, to cash payments for the salaries of government employees and pensions. The Kremlin has pointed to this support as making the West <em>\u201cde facto a party to the conflict,\u201d<\/em> which both Washington and Brussels have officially denied.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/russia\/611796-putin-ukraine-months-sponsors\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine is entirely dependent on Western arms and ammunition and even cash payments for the salaries of government employees and pensions.
