American officials at the State Department are striving to maintain aid to Ukraine despite the announcement of a freeze on foreign aid by the new Secretary of State, reports the "Financial Times." It remains unclear what impact this decision will have.
High-ranking diplomats in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs have appealed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to exclude support for Ukraine from the memorandum suspending foreign aid for 90 days, issued by him on Friday. Rubio has already made exceptions for Israel and Egypt, as well as emergency food programs, but Ukraine was not included.
SNIP
The Ukrainian edition of Voice of America reported that the FMF program is subject to suspension, but the main military support channels, such as the Presidential Drawdown Authority (transfer of equipment from U.S. resources) and the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (purchase of equipment for Ukraine from arms manufacturers), have not been affected.

That would be nice, but it's never going to happen. Instead, I propose that Team Trump investigates where all that money went, and then goes after every individual responsible for its disbursement. It's there where you'll find the locus of what I suspect is a massive money laundering scheme benefiting both corrupt Yooks and American politicians, propagandists and individuals, including members of the Biden Crime Family. Maybe even snag a few Zeepers too!
More targets for Trump administration firings!
It would be very nice... but knowing the power of some of those in the deep state, I am pretty sure that lots of the paper trail are already destroyed.
Nah, that’s a bridge too far for her. Even markiemarkimus would fail to “go there”.
Lol
I doubt the allowance he gets from his mommy would even cover a few K.
Why? The US insisted on sending the money. There are a million dead Ukrainians due to the US meddling for the past 15 years. Ukraine is the puppet. The US is the puppet master. The US is to blame.
Are you talking about the US government, since it has zero money but has somehow sent $200 billion to Ukraine while telling Ukraine it must fight and while telling Ukraine it cannot sign a treaty in 2022 with Putin, that it signed, that would have ended this over two years ago?
So, are you saying the metrosexuals running the EU put a gun to the heads of the US leaders and forced them to send money? That is a joke. This debacle was the US policy for the past 15 years - force a war with Russia. That is why the US blew up the Nordstream pipeline. That is why the US sent Joe Biden to Ukraine around 2012 or 2014 and threatened to end all aid if they didn’t fire a certain prosecutor, who was looking into US subsidized corruption in Ukraine. This is a US foreign policy operation.
NO MORE MONEY TO LAUNDER!!
Speaking of which, our resident spooks and contractors are awfully quiet today.
“Are you talking about the US government, since it has zero money but has somehow sent $200 billion to Ukraine while telling Ukraine it must fight and while telling Ukraine it cannot sign a treaty in 2022 with Putin, that it signed, that would have ended this over two years ago?”
Yep, absolutely...
And it’s STILL NOT OUR WAR!
I didn’t ask to pay for it, neither did 99.99999% of the other Americans.
You want to pay for, have at it.
You want to support it, fly on over there and jump right in.
Which part don’t you Zeepers get?
Everyone striving needs to be fired.
Sure are. I wonder why ...
Any State Department officials doing so in violation of the President’s wishes need to be fired.
PLAESE don’t let our money train stop!!! We have mistresses and yachts to support!
The Zeepers claim there are no mistresses and yachts.
We should be fair about this.
Freeze all funds while we investigate where every nickel went!
