She did NOT say that.

She said the $5 billion was to help Ukraine "build democratic skills and institutions as they promote civic participation in good governance all of which are pre-conditions for Ukraine to achieve its European aspirations."

That is word for word what she said.

7:42 of the video she says what I said.

And these democratic institutions that promote 'good governance' are considered good because they align with western interest.

You're playing dumb on this, per usual.

You're desperate and over your head on this topic.
