Ukraine has received a second shipment of weapons from the United States as part of $200 million in defensive aid promised amid fears of a Russian invasion.
"The second bird in Kyiv! More than 80 tons of weapons to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities from our friends in the USA! And this is not the end," Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in a tweet on Sunday.

How long until Ukraine sells these weapons to the warlords in Africa? They have a history here.
“..Perhaps so, but it will be a much more costly lunch...”
Agree. But a tasty lunch it will be!!
Our national security is compromised by only one name: BIDEN.
Did we buy this stuff from Afghanistan?
Unfortunately, we pay too.
“I often wonder how America/Americans/our stupid damn leaders would react to Russia placing arms and soldiers in Messy-co.”
Well, from an historical standpoint, Ukraine WAS a part of Russia on and off throughout history; so, Russia at least has an argument that it wants it back. I’d like to see Ukraine remain independent, but I understand Russia’s mindset.
Mexico has NEVER been a part of the US, so that comparison does not work. A better comparison would be if, say, the Russians introduced arms and troops into the Confederate States of America in 1862.
The bottom line is we should not go to war with Russia over Ukraine.
These troops are in a bad mood
No, this has been the biggest bipartisan project of the last 30 years.
The border has been intentionally left open and the laws intentionally unenforced by both parties.
Until Trump broke through the Bush blockade, we were only allowed to vote for amnesty/open borders candidates.
Suppose Russia starts arming BLM with Kalashnikov’s and rocket propelled grenades? I’m not seeing any moral high ground.
At least do it secretly and with plausible deniability. Use Iranian smugglers and products actually made in Russia.
Biden’s gift to the Russians, just like he did the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Putin will say “BOO!”, Biden will —— his pants and back out leaving all this behind for the Russians.
Hopefully the Ukrainians can make it hot like the Finns did to Stalin.
Stupid example, BLM is not a country. Russia gives weapons to Cuba and Venezuela.
200 Million in party poppers, just window dressing for the new Russian State.
Will this turn out like the weapons we gave to Afghanistan?
Will Ukraine fight or run? Look at all the weapons we left in Kabul? Do they have the will to fight? My bet the Gov. of Kiev will run for the border and the army retreat. BUT, I don’t think that’s part of Putin’s big plan. It is not what we think. We think like “D-Day” they are more apt to use more subtitle means. Remember, Putin was trained as KGB—The poison cup and assassins bullet is more his speed. He has plans but we will not see them till May. Who will he not assassinate? Biden.
Putin isn’t the one who’s hungry. Xiden and the msm are starving for conflict.
our military industrial sector must be in 7th heaven - another war!!
Why....just why...we have no interest in Ukraine. As far as I’m concerned, they would/could be better off under Russia.
Probably too close to the truth. We don’t make ammo, etc. that is compatible with commie block weapons. Seems like we sent them a bunch of stuff they can’t use. Didn’t Obunghole send someone some blankets and rations?
True, but its probably better to pay a little now to contain Russia, than to end up in a war against a stronger bigger Russia later.
I am tired of this crap too. I do not care about Ukraine and who crosses their borders.
