TL/DR you could donate crypto to Ukraine via FTX.

It was supposedly converted to regular currency and sent to the Ukrainian national bank.

And how was it funneled from Ukraine's government back to political candidates in the United States?
Oh, I don’t think it was! I meant my post to be read as ‘here’s the fact that’s being twisted to fit this narrative!’

I think we’re intended to assume that it never reached Ukraine, was embezzled by SBF, then donated to Democratic campaigns.

And, of course, we’re meant to misread ‘Ukraine’s Aid Money’ as being _all_ the money Ukraine received in aid from the US government, and then go on to believe that all the aid money the US was sending to Ukraine was being funnled to the Democratic Party. Two more obviously ridiculous leaps.
