White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan traveled to Kyiv on Friday to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and announce a new $400 million military assistance package the United States is sending amid the Russian invasion.

The new security assistance package includes refurbished T-72 tanks, which is the first time the U.S. is sending tanks to Ukraine, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles and the refurbishment of 250 HAWK surface to air missiles for eventual transfer to Ukraine, according to the White House.

Sullivan visited with Zelensky to “underscore the United States’ steadfast support to Ukraine and its people as they defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the White House said. “He also affirmed the continued provision of economic and humanitarian assistance, as well as ongoing efforts with partners to hold Russia accountable for its aggression.”

Everybody knows that once the Republicans retake the House and Senate in January, the checkbook will be closed.

So the DemocRATs will shovel as much cash and prizes to Ukraine as possible during the November-December lame duck session, and Putin knows all he has to do is hold out until January when the arms taps are turned off

That is about $1 per American. And given the fact that the rich pay most of the taxes (as they should), probably about 25 cents of that will come from your pocket.

Should have been a one way ticket. Give him a refurbished tank and send him to the front lines.

It's deficit spending, added on top of our already $31 trillion dollar debt. But yeah, Sláva Ukrayíni!

That is true. Many countries are helping them stop Putin's invasion

He had to tell him in person “Biden and Putin get a bigger cut than you. You’re just a supporting actor.”

“...to stop Putin’s invasion”?
Really.

More like the fact the incessant pleading and begging for money is to continue to prop up a failing state and government.

Ukraine has no economy and broke, therefore, has no income generation to sustain its own government and state which requires roughly $3-8 billion a MONTH to operate that is separate from the cost of fighting or stopping a ‘Putin invasion.’

Ukraine has been a parasitic, deadbeat, failed state for a decade plus.

Now it’s a parasitic, deadbeat, failed state run by a drug-addicted, butch/femme cross dressing, Banderist Jewish midget comedian who has a number of mansions throughout the world....

Where in the Constitution does Jake Sullivan get the authority to announce a new $400 million military assistance package to Ukraine?

You are paying for it at the grocery, at the gas station and every other thing you pay for under Biden.

This war support is for the purpose of breaking America in perpetuity. We can figure some of this money is going as kickbacks to the scum in DC.

The lunacy is that the small patch of land in question has always been Russian. It is very small, almost exactly the size of Vermont, and it is ethnic Russian. Russian is the language spoken there. The religion is Russian Orthodox.

If a spouse is hell bent on divorce, just let go and move on. Ukraine should focus on the real Ukraine, and let the Russians be.

There is none.

But as par, Constitution be damned as the pro-Ukrainian NEOCONs, NAFO folks, etc cheer the continuation of funding and the war/conflict....all the while attempting to literally creep us into that war/conflict.

It’s almost Sunday. In two days, and in between war chants and blood dancing, Cronos will drop to his knees and pretend to pray in front of the Forum. Can you say hypocrite?

Zelensky should have cut a deal with Putin months ago. Now Putin is poised to run through the Ukraine like chit through a goose.
