    The receipt in the video is dated September 22, 2023, when Zelenska was in Ottawa, Canada, with Zelensky. The pair visited the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, with Zelensky giving an address mid-afternoon that day.

        Did I even look at it? I quoted it in my reply. So, yah!

        As for sources, you yourself have provided one no one has even heard of before. And, no one has even heard of you before with your one day old account and single post about this topic, so maybe try a little harder next time if you’re going to spread Russian propaganda.
