Budanov added that a year ago, Ukraine was visited by Biden administration officials regarding an "inspection" about how the funds were being spent and that they came up "with acceptable conclusions."
"Let me repeat myself: It's more of a profound matter," he said. "We have to see where the money was channeled at what price. For example, they were procuring ammunition. Who was the real beneficiary? Through which countries was it going? I mean, it's clear everybody was covering themselves with Ukraine. That's going to be unanimous. But was it really Ukraine? That's an open question."
Meanwhile, Budanov was asked about President Donald Trump referring to Zelenskyy as a dictator because Ukraine's president canceled elections.
