          ... the shopping spree story does not even confirm if the report is accurate. What is quite possible is that this story is part of a Russian disinformation campaign designed to turn the West against Ukraine.

          Even if true, $40.000 is a drop in the bucket compared to the money that use to disappear in Afghanistan all the time.

            Former Clinton administration official James P. Rubin has been named Special Envoy and Coordinator of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced.

            Rubin will lead the office charged with identifying and countering foreign propaganda and disinformation.

            Created in 2015, GEC has been at the forefront of U.S. efforts to expose Russian disinformation campaigns, work that became more urgent following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

            In a statement, Blinken said Rubin is “uniquely qualified to direct GEC’s critical work on countering foreign disinformation and propaganda from foreign actors including, Russia, the People’s Republic of China, Iran, and foreign violent extremist organizations like ISIS and al-Qa’ida.”

            Rubin is a familiar face in Washington circles, having served as a State Department spokesman during the Clinton administration, followed by stints at Sky News and later Bloomberg News, as well as jobs in academia.

                              .., like everywhere else in the world, the cost to buy almost everything has risen especially in Ukraine. This is a non lethal form of military aid to keep the Ukraine gov't functioning. The Ukraine gov't has experienced great revenue drops in food, energy and industrial exports because of the war and is forced to spend a huge portion of it's budget on defense.
