Trump Jr calls Ukraine ‘one of the most corrupt countries on Earth’

Donald Trump Jr, the son of the 45th United States President, claimed that Ukraine is one of the "most corrupt countries in the world" after President Joe Biden asked Congress to approve a $33bn aid package for the war-torn country.

President Biden on Thursday proposed a further $33bn in security, economic and humanitarian assistance to aid Ukraine at what he called “a very pivotal moment" as Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces shifted their attack to the country’s eastern region.

Asking the Congress to approve the package "as quickly as possible", Mr Biden said: "We can’t stand by as the Russians continue their atrocities and aggression in Ukraine."
