Ukraine Government Asks US To Provide ‘Gas Lend-Lease’
Zubu Brothers ^ | 7/27/22 | Staff

The Ukrainian government on Tuesday asked Washington to provide Kyiv with a “lend-lease” program to import natural gas from the US to ensure Ukraine has enough gas for heating this winter, Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal indicated.

The idea is for the US to provide gas to Ukraine and collect payment at a later time, similar to the World War II-era lend-lease program that was revived this year to facilitate military aid to Ukraine.

“Preparation for the most difficult winter in our history continues, and in this preparation we are looking for all possible tools to be ready for any scenario,” Shmyhal wrote on Telegram.

According to Foreign Policy, one of the proposals that has been floated by Ukrainian officials would be for the US to provide Ukraine with 6 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG) without collecting payment for two years. The US would deliver the LNG to terminals in Europe, where it will be shipped to Ukraine via pipeline.

Yuriy Vitrenko, the CEO of the Ukrainian state-owned gas company Naftogaz, discussed the lend-lease proposal in Washington earlier this month. “They were surprised to hear such an idea, but it was well received,” Vitrenko said.

It’s estimated that the 6 billion cubic meters of LNG would cost about $8 billion. So far, the US has authorized $54 billion to spend on the war in Ukraine, more than half of which is for military aid. But the US is expected to spend more as the current funding is only meant to last through September 30.

Yes, I want to double or treble my natural gas bill, in order to make sure that Elenskyy's Cayman Island bank accounts and his Miami dacha are safe and sound.

Europe can kill each other for all I care. Where were their armies defending our freedom during the coup de tete? Where are the billions of aid for us? Didn't we sail away once before?

I hope they nuke each other right in the mouth.

So after US conservative political leadership leads the way in winning the Cold War you want to throw it all away.

Putin called; this month’s check will have a few extra roubles. Good work comrade!

Comrade Putin wishes to thank you for your friendship. Do you accept roubles?

I agree. That grifter is asking for *our* money. Us. The taxpayers. We’ve already given him more than we’ve wanted to.

Let Hunter and the Pelosi criminals give him money if he needs it.

Zelensky needs to get his grubby hands out of our pockets.

Check your natural gas bill, pal. You're not going to like what you see in January.

I'll give you some math:

Multiply the COG at Henry Hub by 0.1, and that will give you your rough cost per therm.

We were paying about 30 cents a therm in 2020.

My last bill was 76 cents a therm, which is a lagging indicator. The price at Henry Hub was 8.59 today [86 cents a therm].

We might be paying most of a buck a therm this winter, in small part due to High Heels and his neocon slime backers who are puppeting Senile Joe.

1.) Biden isn’t Reagan. He is anti-Reagan.

2.) He, Obama, and a Ukrainian woman/govt official were behind the 2014 coup in Ukraine of a legally-elected president.

3.) Biden tried to foist this propagandist upon America:

Trump, Russia, and How Not to Lose the Information War With Nina Jankowicz

https://irishtechnews.ie/trump-russia-the-information-war-nina-jankowicz/

She herself said she is Polish/Ukrainian. She worked for the Ukrainian government before working for Biden.

Her job was to attack Trump and knock down anything said negatively about Biden or Ukraine.

4.) It’s been other people ad well from the Ukrainian govt and others from Ukraine who tesified nonsense against undercut Trump and/or testified nonsense against Trump.

5.) Soros, the WEF, etc, are also involved and tied to the hip of Zelensky.

6.) The part from you of “Putin called; this month...” sounds like something Rachel Maddow would say.

Yes, let’s Putin start another Cold War. Remember, it was conservatives who provided the bulk of the leadership that *won* the CW.

And Zelensky isn’t asking for a single drop of US blood.

To paraphrase a famous boxer [Mike Tyson]:

Everyone has a plan until they get asked to pay in roubles...

Ask the Germans what their plan is for this winter.  winking face face with tears of

He's asking for MY money - after working the grift with a crowd of our sleazeball pols from both parties [Romney, Biden, McCain, Kerry, Pelosi and others (Burisma)].

Except we didn't.

The communists have infiltrated and marginalized everything, starting in the 60s or before, and are now running (destroying) the country.

Did I say Biden is Reagan? I’ve looked over my posts and I’m pretty sure I never said that or even implied it.

But hey, I’ve been wrong before. So please enlighten me. Please show where I said Biden is Reagan.

Nina Jankowicz has zero, zip & nada to do with this. An epic non-sequitur that suggests either you have a natural gift for them or have trained for this for years.

Yanukovych was a Russian stooge in a patently rigged election.

This is an *easy* call. Russia by its very nature has geopolitical interests that conflict with ours. And you’re on Putin’s side.

Whose side were you on 30 years ago?
