WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is providing $125 million for electrical parts and other supplies to help repair crews in Ukraine keep up with Russian strikes pounding the country’s electrical system, the U.S. international development aid chief said Wednesday.
The U.S. Agency for International Development plans to use the money to procure backup power for Kyiv’s water and district-heating systems. The funding also will help replenish supplies of gas turbines, transformers and other vital power equipment.

It is getting to the point where supporters of Ukraine are enemies of the American people.
Enemies.
I just hope no American tax dollars go towards helping Americans.
Because that would be crazy.
How about another $1.7 trillion dollars for Chuck and Nancy to do whatever they want?
The sooner Ukr surrenders, the better for all.
While the US power grid suffers under psyco Joe’s policies.
Ukraine’s power system is of Soviet design, not a chance in hell that we can help them, unless we can get Russia to send us replacement parts.
They can destroy it a lot faster than we can repair it. Great way to burn through millions more dollars.
Amen
Best to save this until after the war — or the Russians will just wreck it again.
Where did you get that pic of a couple of piles of dogsqueezins?
You are exactly right. They’re doing all they can to ruin our country while lining their pockets in a huge money laundering operation in Ukraine..
Hey, you folks remember the recent stories about these jamokes taking out power sub-stations with hand-held weapons. You may have also heard about the replacement parts being backordered... kinda like as any electrical worker knows about parts being backordered...
... but we’ll get that Ukrainian grid back up and running in no time!
That makes absolutely no sense for US taxpayers. But, it might to those authorizing the money if some of it is laundered to right places.
This is probably the excuse to send American troops in there. Will we be told if any get killed or will this be covered up like everything else they do behind our backs?
It makes perfect sense if thr goal is to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe and a refugee crisis due to no water or power during the winter.
By the way, I think it’s cute you folks think the expenditures so far will bankrupt the country. It’s almost like you aren’t aware you live in a country where even Trump signed off on trillion dollar stimulus checks—which is what kicked off part of our inflation woes to begin with, at least in combination with what’s going on in China.
“We have equipment shortages here.”
Dont worry, the ukrainians will be happy to sell it back to us.
Can’t you dumb bastards make up your mind? I’ve been told plenty of times on this forum that actually Ukrainians aren’t even fighting the war. It’s all just Polacks and US special forces. Because naturally Ukrainians can’t beat your retard army of orthodox Christian masculine men.
You’re just mad you won’t get a chance to have a good jerk session to any frozen Ukrainians, as many on this thread have plainly hoped to enjoy in the past.
Just like promises that Europe would freeze, promises/bragging that Ukraine would freeze were false too.
So now let’s pretend we’re mad over 100 million or so in tax dollars, as if any of you were mad over Trump’s trillion dollar stimulus checks that were utterly useless.
All Ukraine supporters are simpletons in this regard: They believe their enemies, American Nationalists, are motivated by their emotions as they themselves are.
This your childish comment about freezing Ukrainians.
And yes we are mortal enemies.
