The U.S. on Friday announced a $400 million security aid package for Ukraine, providing more ammunition, equipment and munitions for Kyiv in its fight against Russia.
The State Department said the latest package includes munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and howitzer artillery guns, as well as ammunition for the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles the U.S. first announced for Ukraine in January.
The latest round of security aid also includes demolitions munitions, equipment and other material, as well as services for maintenance, training and support of Ukrainian troops, who have been fighting against a Russian invasion for more than a year.
“Russia alone could end its war today,” the State Department said in a release. “Until Russia does so, for as long as it takes, we will stand united with Ukraine and strengthen its military on the battlefield so that Ukraine will be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table.”

WHERE IS MY END???
MSM: Economists are perplexed why inflation is so resilient
What’s announced here is military equipment, not cash it seems, so its doubtful that there is an opportunity to skim it. There is no black market in M777 howitzers and HIMARS missiles.
Surely the red wave will put a stop to this nonsense.
Anyone in agreement with this deserves a right hook to the side of the head.
America Last
Americans Last
Throwing good money after bad.
How do you know? Where’s the audit? Anyways, every single dollar and bullet spent on this war is a waste and makes America weaker.
Because they aren’t properly usable without US support. And being components of heavy weapons systems there are no likely non state actors who would want them, certainly not in any numbers. It’s not easy to sneak components of a battery of field artillery around.
155mm ammo isn’t likely to be pilfered either. The biggest market for that currently is Ukraine. One could, I suppose, steal some and then try to sell it back to Ukraine. It’s too easy to get caught though. None of that is fungible.
You don’t get the point. You are talking out your ass. There is no way to prove there are no buyers. This war is useless. Your support for it and making excuses for Biden is sickening.
the latest Zelensky charge back to keep his lips zipped abut the UniParty and MAidan....
. MARK MILLEY put Washington-Kyiv relations in tough spot after comments last week that the winter fighting pause could open the door to peace talks with Russia. The Biden administration has since mobilized to deliver a clear message to Ukraine: Milley didn’t say what we really think….
….. The scramble follows comments last week by Milley, the Joint Chiefs chair. The four-star general said during an appearance at the Economic Club of New York that a victory by Ukraine may not be achieved militarily, and that winter may provide an opportunity to begin negotiations with Russi…..
You can find a copy of his entire speech on the internet, of course the Biden war cheerleaders were quick to say he “ didn’t mean” negotiations, and their damage control efforts went into full overdrive.
The Pentagon knows exactly the Ukies are spent, and many junior level officers say Milley meant exactly what he said, time to negotiate.
Nothing to see. Just funding for the 24 election.
More if you care to look. Everyone in the EU knows the Ukies are cooked. I find it unlikely NATO intervenes or they are given nukes. Did further and you will find the same remarks made by Italy and Hungary…..
“ Only NATO or Nukes Can Save Ukraine From Russia: Estonia Foreign Minister
Story by David Brennan • Yesterday 8:05 AM”
—”ThePentagon has acknowledged the fall of Artymovsk ( Russian for Bakmut) is the beginning of the end”—
The Pentagon didn’t say that, did they.
You are constantly posting falsehoods and this is another one isn’t it.
Bakmut fallen, the Ukies blown all bridges, those left are trying to march out on foot…
View the video, I guess you say that is falsehood also. The Ukies are toast, get used to it.
—”ThePentagon has acknowledged the fall of Artymovsk ( Russian for Bakmut) is the beginning of the end”—
As usual, you made that up about the Pentagon statement.
You make up things, yesterday you were reporting the first Leopard already being taken out by your Russians when the tanks hadn’t even reached the field yet.
Whatever, only one thing is clear:
Ukraine 1991-2023, Get used to it.
What is clear is that you just make things up and post them.
