Mr Zelensky, who is attending the summit in Washington, is likely to be offered a promise of a “well-lit bridge” to Nato membership, a term preferred by the US.

At this year’s meeting, allies are expected to offer further air defence systems to meet Ukraine’s growing needs, including US Patriots, after Washington agreed to prioritise deliveries of its flagship system to Kyiv.

The Telegraph recently revealed that the US is blocking British and European efforts to put in writing an “irreversible” path towards Nato membership for Ukraine. Ukraine has suffered from corruption, particularly in its armed forces, since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Mr Zelensky has sacked military chiefs as part of an effort to curb the problem, especially in the area of defence procurement.

So give me a ballpark %, how much of the billions sent by the west went down the corruption drain?

Despite the lack of Nato promises, almost 20 countries have signed bilateral security agreements with Ukraine.

I swear everyone is a sucker in this story, except American hegemony and the US military-industrial complex, and maybe Ukrainian oligarchs who got the share of the pie.
