U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is currently withholding approval for at least six commercial orders for arms and ammunition from U.S. companies to Ukraine, BuzzFeed has reported.
"The Trump administration is currently withholding approval for at least six commercial orders for arms and ammunition from US companies to Ukraine, together worth roughly $30 million, according to three current Ukrainian officials and a former senior U.S. official who have direct knowledge of the sales, straining an already fragile relationship between the two countries," says the article posted on the BuzzFeed's website on Thursday.
All four officials said that five of the pending sales from U.S. companies have been delayed for around a year, and one of the sales has been held up for more than a year. The officials said they haven't been able to get any answers from the Trump administration about why the deals, which typically take around two months to approve and must be licensed by the State Department, haven't received approval.
"It might be wise for the Ukrainians to look for other sources" from which to buy arms and ammunition, said the U.S. official, who said he has questioned senior White House and State Department officials about the issue.
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv declined to comment on the matter, and the White House and State Department did not respond to requests for comments. Ukroboronprom, the Ukrainian state-owned arms conglomerate and the official buyer of all the arms and ammunition, also didnt respond when asked for comment.
"Two Ukrainian officials who spoke to BuzzFeed News believe the delays could be related to a Chinese attempt to buy a strategic Ukrainian aerospace company that the U.S. has tried to block, raising the possibility of Kyiv getting caught up in a power play between Beijing and Washington," BuzzFeed said.
There is a you tube up now. Search Glenn Beck Ukraine:The Final Piece. I just finished watching a second time with my wife. If this doesnt change things, frankly, its too late.
I wasn’t aware of this. It is interesting that the Ukraine is a cog is so much of that which is of importance to the US.
I agree with you. Check Post #33 for interesting info.
For The Record...
Ukraine never corrupted any U.S. politicians; U.S. politicians who were ALREADY corrupt merely found a venue for their preexisting corruption in Ukraine.
Yeah so Putin does not like homosexuality hrc and Obama do. They did the Iran deal to tank the Russian petrobased economy, and open Iran’s oil to Europe and China. Putin responded by giving the Iranians nuclear technology. With all those bad actors what could possibly go wrong. Just a theory made it up while having lunch

I understand that in 1979 when the Shaw was overturned and the US Embassy attacked, many of those pilots escaped to other countries and the US; the pilots as well as many of the military leaders and government officials. Of those who didn’t get out, many faced the firing squad.

I know that this money laundering is happening and it is our tax dollars that is being cleaned back into the pockets of these corrupt politicians. I

A global superpower cannot escape having global worries.

That's the ticket buddy!
Thanks for the Glenn Beck Post Viewed it twice. He said he was turning the information over to Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson
Interesting point bro. Someone else pointed out this might be fake news. Who knows? But then again, fake news, is all Adam Schiff for brains had in the impeachment scam.
Want to bet. Time will tell, as the HYDRA is so big, it is anyone's guess who is and isn't in the club.
My guess is the "Proxy war" model is more the rule than the exception. I feel there are players on both sides of the aisle working hard to distract from the real conspiracy. Mark my words, Hunter Biden is just the patsy in this.
The words of Eisenhower return with a vengeance regarding the Military Industrial Complex. Historically someone's life will end soon to cover this up.

I recall in 1949 at San Angelo where pilot training included a detachment of foreign student pilots. All training was in the T-6. A foreign student froze on the stick causing the plane to stall and go straight in killing both he and the instructor.
