The deputy noted that the amount of $500 thousand looks “strange” in terms of the volumes that the Americans supply to Ukraine.
“Most likely, this figure is of a formal nature in order to somehow report that they are fulfilling their duties. “They took it from Russia to help you.” But we understand that within the framework of existing expenses this is nothing at all,” Chepa said.
The second oddity, according to RT’s interlocutor, is the transfer of funds through the Baltic country.

. Obviously, the United States is still very wary of such actions. I mean, such outright theft,” says the parliamentarian.
He is confident that the United States fears not only retaliatory measures from Russia, which “will and can be very noticeable,” but also a negative reaction from European countries.
“Most of all, it seems to me, the Americans fear that such actions will still cause a flurry of rejection of their financial policies in the world by other countries. I have often discussed these issues with various foreign colleagues, and today everyone is extremely wary of the dollarization that has been carried out in the world. And for America, the fall of their entire dollar policy is a collapse. The collapse of everything,” concluded Chepa.
Earlier, the US Department of Justice stated that the American authorities sent Estonia almost $500 thousand from “confiscated Russian funds” to assist Ukraine.
It is clarified that the confiscated funds are transferred to Estonia, since it is not yet possible to make a direct transfer to the Ukrainian authorities.
