WASHINGTON, Sept 25 (Reuters) - The United States plans to announce more than $8 billion worth of military assistance for Ukraine on Thursday during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's visit to Washington, two U.S. officials said on Wednesday.
President Joe Biden's administration has been engaged in urgent discussions with Congress to allow it to use up $5.6 billion in military aid for Ukraine before Sept. 30 - the end of the federal fiscal year - when the authority was set to expire.
Congress has approved nearly $175 billion of aid and military assistance for Ukraine and allied nations in the 2-1/2 years since Russia's full-scale invasion, and many lawmakers say they expect Washington will need to approve more money to help the government in Kyiv in the next several months.

Coups have consequences, you’re confused because you start with the third act.
” Period. If it’s a test of wills. They win. If it’s a test of manpower they win. If it’s a test of materials. They win.”
They are not winning they are running out of weapons. The only will to win is by the orligarchs and supporters of Putin. Pull your head out of Russia today.
Is it enough, President Zelensky, or do you need more of our taxpayers’ money?
That pic will pi$$ Putin right off. We’re deliberately poking the bear.
More US weapons going to another country, draining our military’s ammo and weapons stockpiles. Saw an article yesterday that said that we ARE NOT prepared to fight a war!!!!! What does THAT say to you? Don’t you think all the commie nations and surrogates and the izzlamic murdering thug countries and surrogates are paying attention to all tis chatter?? We are in deep sneakers when it comes to ammo and weapons supplies.
excellent
Which we must replenish. Meaning, much profits for arms manufacturers.
America Last
Americans Last
“US prepares $8 billion in arms aid packages for Zelenskiy visit, sources say”
Thank God!
LOL! They are running out of weapons? This is an assertion so absurd, so devoid of fact, I don’t even know where to begin. You are clearly getting your news about the war from mainstream sources or gosh, I don’t know where. Let’s just start with this. Where are you getting your news about the war from? What is the state of the conflict, today?
The backlash will elect Trump.
No doubt it will send a few votes towards President Trump, however the bad news is pundits are suggesting the GOPe will lose the house, I agree. The scum of the Earth GOPe Speaker Johnson will make sure Xiden gets billions to make the war machine keep going as usual. In the event the GOPe holds in a squeaker one better hope that this Johnson puke is tossed aside.
No Shiite! Excellent meme. :)
“Is this Zelenskiy’s reward for bashing Trump the other day? As stated, money down the rat hole.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
No. Zelensky never bashed Trump. That is false information.
Trump has never proposed any peace plan yet. So why on earth could or would Zelensky bash Trump on a hypothetical idea that has not even been uttered yet?
However, basically what Zelensky said (he has repeated the same thing for over a year now) is that the Ukrainian people will never surrender and give away their homes and lands to the Neo-Colonialist Kremlin.
Zelensky supports the idea that the protection of BORDERS is a God given right. Conservatives happen to support the idea that BORDERS must be protected you see.
Don’t you support the idea that a BORDER must be protected from foreign military attacks?
How on earth is it “Trump bashing” when Zelensky says he wants to keep his country whole and not be chopped-off to pieces by foreign illegal little green men paid by Moscow?
Now lets have some Monty Python fun:
Example:
Imagine this scenario:
>>>If Trump was sitting in the White House right now, Alaska being 17% invaded by Russian soldiers. Entire American villages and towns there being ravaged by Russian bombs and missiles. The frontline being more or less stable after 2 years
of intense combat. Trump travels to Canada asking for some extra support.
Isolationist Canadians and and peace-activists there respond angrily, saying “it’s not our war”, “Canada has a deficit, stop pumping money into the Yankee laundering machine”, “Let Russia take back Alaska, Alaska was Russian once!”, “Tell Trump to stop asking for help to finance his war against Russia... etc... etc...<<<
So here is the question?
In such a scenario, would you agree with the Canadians or would you support Trump asking Canada for some extra help?
Your initial comment leans towards you would support the Canadian anti-American “peace-activist” crowd.
And... guess who I would support... ?
TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Some humor.... but still, think about it.
War mongers figuring out how much money they can grift per bomb. $$$$$$$$$
Better back up on that as it is a trillion dollars every 100 days not to mention the waste of the ammo and material, we send these people which will do no good and we will need to defend ourselves for World War 3 and it is coming to the shores of America, get ready!
Sadly you bought into the lie this is about Ukraine defending itself from Russia, we started this mess and it will finish us as well. Guess you missed out on what Commie Harris said during the debate didn’t you?
