😢 MASTER BEGGAR ZELENSKY WANTS YOUR TAXPAYERS' CASH (more than $125 million😐) to cover cost of Ukraine's elections.

Zelensky's begging comes following proposal during meeting by US Senator Graham Crackers that "Ukraine should show it's different from Russia by holding elections during wartime" - Elections are currently banned in Ukraine under martial law, due to expire on 15 November before the March 2024 presidential vote.

🗣 I gave Lindsey [Crackers] a very simple answer very quickly and he was pleased with it: As long as our legislators are willing to do it. You and I should send observers to the frontlines so that we have legitimate elections for us and for the whole world.

🗣 It normally costs $125 million to hold elections in peacetime, I don't know how much in wartime, so I told him that if the US and Europe provide financial support ... - Zelensky.

He took "freedom ain't free" literally! @IntelRepublic
