Meanwhile, poor Ukrainian men are sent as cannon fodder against Russian drones and artillery.

The tweet from @NewRulesGeo (posted on December 1, 2025) shares a video montage that contrasts scenes of wealthy Ukrainians partying in luxury nightclubs, driving high-end cars (Mercedes G-Wagons, BMWs, etc.), and vacationing at European ski resorts with footage of poor Ukrainian soldiers fighting and dying on the front lines.
The caption quotes American economist Steve Hanke, who estimates that of the roughly $360 billion in aid sent to Ukraine, between $54 billion and $108 billion has been lost to corruption and embezzlement.
Key points highlighted in the thread and video:
- Ukraine ranks poorly on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (33 out of 100 in 2024).
- The video implies that while ordinary soldiers suffer, a portion of the elite is openly enjoying lavish lifestyles funded (directly or indirectly) by Western aid money.
Reactions (as of now):
- Over 4 million views and strong engagement from accounts critical of Ukraine aid.
- Many Ukrainian users and pro-Ukraine accounts label it Russian propaganda or an exaggeration.
- Similar themes have appeared before (e.g., the 2023 “Yachtgate” scandal that was largely debunked, alongside verified cases of multi-million-dollar defense procurement corruption in Ukraine).
In short, the post is a highly viral, emotionally charged criticism of alleged corruption and inequality in Ukraine amid massive Western financial support.
