The Biden Administration unveiled its second round of military aid to Ukraine for $400 million, following its $95 billion and $60 million for the country.
The new package will consist a number of weapons, including:
Patriot missile system munitions
High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMAR) systems and ammunition
Stinger anti-air missiles, 155mm artillery rounds
Bradley Fighting Vehicles
Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAPs)
“As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine in its defense of its freedom,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
The package marks the second Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package since I signed the foreign aid package earlier this year.
Biden had previously authorized a $6 billion package under the new bill, including the beleaguered nation for a number of years.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that some equipment will arrive within days, while other packages will take longer.
Austin said the Pentagon is working to “move as fast as we can to get them the capability as fast as industry can produce.”
The news comes just a day after Russia launched its largest cross-border operation since the start of the war.
Russian forces advanced close to Ukraine’s second most populous city of Kharkov, where they eized territory and took a number of Ukrainian soldiers prisoner.
The Russian Army has also recorded gains along the frontline in Donetsk, where much of the fighting occurred.
Since the war began in 2022, the Biden administration has sent more than $100 billion in military and humanitarian aid.
Apparently, Barrack, Schillary, George and Julia are raking in enough . . .
Don’t see any quantities. They need very large numbers of these weapons or it’s just.......money laundering.
Excuse me, “not raking in enough.”
How much have we spent already?
Is anyone auditing expenditures at all?
If only there was American taxpayer
money for the American taxpayers
And still not one penny for our own southern border.....
I wish Uncle Sugar will send me money and aid.
How many Ukrainian boys have to die to continue providing bribes to The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate?
The Johnson will stop this obscenity
+++++++++++
This is where we find out if Johnson spits or swallows. I say he swallows.
Did you see the review with Tulsi Gabbard? She said those in the fire only got $700; however, the state found billions in unearmarked funds. Rather than keeping the money in Hawaii, they sent it to Ukraine. I do not get it
Will there be enough left for a palatial FBI headquarters?
Yes, crazy is the word.
How many miles of wall for our OWN southern border would a near half billion buy?
The filthy evil democrats, neocons and Deep State want to kill ALL Ukrainians, not Russians.
Pour all the money you want into Ukraine and they cannot defeat Russia. The Ukes simply do not have enough soldiers. How can you expect to win a war without boots on the ground? Ukraine has already lost 500,000 people on the front lines, with more to come as long as this continues.
It is suicide by proxy for the Globohomo’s and Zeepers (like Williams and MarcusMaximus). They will sacrifice ALL the Ukraine people, in an insane chase for Moby Dick’s Russian whale.
As Ukraine struggles to fight off being conquered by Russia do you think they want you to cut off arms to them?
It’s time for Ukraine and Russia to make a binding treaty.
Ukraine accepts the terms for surrender. Russia stops advancing into Ukraine in exchange for the Donbass and Crimea.
The rest of Ukraine proper remains intact. Ukraine agrees to NEVER become part of NATO or with any third party military alliance.
Russia agrees to help rebuild the Ukraine cities that were destroyed. Russia agrees to never encroach again on Ukraine land else it would be considered a declaration of war on ALL of Europe. If this happens then the UN would have authority to revoke Russia’s charter and approve NATO military action.
Hopefully peace can be attained. Ukraine will have time to repopulate their nation and the degenerate globohomo West will stop meddling in Ukraine affairs.
That was evasive, do you really think the people getting invaded to be conquered by Russia want you to end their supply of weapons to fight with?
