Hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid has poured into Ukraine since 2014, but that could soon come to an end.
This, after two senior administration officials confirmed President Donald Trump is considering blocking Ukraine's $250 million annual aid package, which is meant to curb aggression from Russia.
Ukraine has been using the aid to fight an armed separatist movement backed by Moscow.

Comments should be interesting.
Many variables at play here.
They’re corrupt. I’d take the women though.
In before keyword trolls.

Reuters/AP story. Un-named sources. Confirmed considering? How far away is that from action?
Where’s the beef?
Sorry Reuters yahoo story, as though that makes much difference.
“Aid to follow once we see the Biden deals.” “Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine!”
This article is pure propaganda lying bs. Claiming Trump is capitulating to Russia. At the end it says the aid will probably continue.
#5. Lawrence O’Donnell’s source, again?
Your point makes certain sense.
Ukraine had 25 years to make itself into a fully-functioning independent country, free of their supposedly despised Russian influence - but their leaders were too busy looting the place.
I’m not sure how the USA is going to manage to get anything beneficial out of such a place.
All the Ukrainians need to do is turn over the Biden files, and —poof— the aid will reappear.
They remember what Stalin did.
Half of anything we give them ends up in the hands of a few corrupt oligarchs so either running off the crooked oligarchs or shutting off the cash tap until the Ukrainians do it themselves makes sense to me.
GOOD!!!! Long overdue! But, he won’t do it. Trump talks a good foreign policy game, but Admiral Kangaroo always gets his way.
Chances they would remember Hillary and Nuland in some similar way. The processes today are about the same in nature although on a smaller scale. But the matter of scale is not relevant. People has thinner skin in 21th century Ukrainians included.
I’m in favour of forcing the Ukraine to give up its eastern regions to Russia. From Poland point of view, this creates a buffer state western Ukraine that hates Russia almost as much ad it hates Poland. So a buffer state in between
Do you think globalists consider Polish interest in this case?
And no. They hate neither Russia nor Poland in Ukraine anymore.
Arrogance-hatred-envy-enlightment-repentance circle is in play.
Five years ago Ukrainians called their Russian relatives to say them they don’t want to know them anymore ‘until they get rid of Hitler’. Now they call and say they are sorry and asking how the job market is. Surprisingly for them their European dreams went horribly wrong.
Good
Euromaiden bullshit
I don’t care what others think. I’m saying this estrangement between Russia and Ukraine which is at the people level, is good for creating an effective buffer state
