President Biden on Wednesday approved an additional $800 million in military aid for Ukraine, saying the United States is "answering" Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's call for more help, while warning of a "long and difficult battle" ahead against Russia.
The additional $800 million comes on top of the $200 million in funding that was announced Saturday.
The new package includes 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems; 2,000 Javelins, 1,000 light anti-armor weapons and 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems; 100 unmanned drones; 100 grenade launchers, 5,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, 400 machine guns, and 400 shotguns; more than 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenade launcher and mortar rounds; 25,000 sets of body armor; and 25,000 helmets. The equipment will be transferred directly from the Department of Defense to the Ukrainian military, Biden said.
"I thank the Congress for appropriating these funds. This new package on its own is going to provide unprecedented assistance to Ukraine," Biden said.
Biden stressed that U.S. allies are also flowing weapons to Ukraine, and promised that "more will be coming as we source additional stocks of equipment that we're ready to transfer."
Biden warned that "this could be a long and difficult battle," but said "the American people are supporting the people of Ukraine in the face of Putin's immoral, unethical attacks on civilian populations."

“this could be a long and difficult battle,”
For who? It’s not our war.
Money for the Southern US border when? /s
"We can't be sure, but we're hoping for it to last at least until the Midterms are over."
When Russia sets off chemical weapon it will be. CIA. Whoever.
Yeah, if’n I were the Russkis, I would be trying to intercept this shipment. It isn’t terribly important, but sinking the ship carrying it or destroying the trucks trying to bring it into Ukraine might finally clear things up for these idiots.
Weren’t they on the verge of an agreement this morning ?
BIDEN JUST GAVE AWAY ANOTHER $1 BILLION OF YOUR $. NOT A WORD ABOUT PEACE, or SEEKING PEACE! the military industrial complex in overdrive!— Michael Savage (@ASavageNation) March 16, 2022
Where is the money to pay for these weapons coming from?
Dems figure if they can get the U.S. in a war with Russia, that people won’t be willing to change the party in charge of Congress this fall. And Congressional Republicans are helping them with that. Makes me glad I am no longer registered as a Republican, and will be sitting out all elections from here on out. My Congresswoman voted to send money to Ukraine, so she can go pound salt. Hope the Dems steal her seat again.
The propagandists can’t seem to get their lies straight:
(1) Putin is stuck in the mud and will give up in defeat soon.
(2) Putin is brutally crushing civilians on the way to an evil victory.
(3) Putin is stuck in a long term quagmire.
Must feel nice choosing not “to saddle up again”.
How much money is the Biden crime family making off of all of this?

“..Weren’t they on the verge of an agreement this morning?...”
It sure sounded like it.
pedoJoe, Piglouzi, horseface Kerry, Mittens and probably a host of others cannot afford any “agreement” that might openly and totally expose their money laundry schemes in Ukraine. It would be an absolute disaster for the UniParty.
On the previous episode of "As Brandon Blathers"...
"...this will be a winter of death and despair"
Aha, it must be about over.
When will that be? When will they be delivered and operable? This is the problem when the resident has dementia and his handlers do not allow press questions.
