Today, We Received a Decision – the U.S. Assistance, Which Will Be Felt by Both the Warriors on the Frontline, and the Cities and Villages Suffering from Russian Terror – Address by the President 20 April 2024 - 21:30

Dear Ukrainians!

From early morning today, various regions of our country have been experiencing air alerts and Russian strikes. From the east to the south... Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk regions, Kherson and the region, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions. Missiles, drone strikes, artillery. There is a lot of destruction — houses, port infrastructure, and energy facilities. There are casualties and, unfortunately, fatalities.

My condolences to their families and loved ones. Throughout the day, our air defense system was in action, there were responses to Russian strikes, the rescuers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and all the services performed their duties.

But this day is still a little different. Today, we received the long-awaited decision: the American support package we've been fighting for so hard. And it is a very significant package that will be felt by both our warriors on the frontline and our cities and villages suffering from Russian terror. The U.S. House of Representatives voted today.

I thank everyone who supported our package – this is a life-saving decision. I am grateful personally to Speaker Mike Johnson, to all American hearts who, like us in Ukraine, feel that Russian evil definitely should not prevail. I hope that the package will be considered in the U.S. Senate and submitted to President Biden’s desk quickly enough.

We appreciate every manifestation of support for our state and independence, for our people, and for our lives that Russia wants to bury in ruins. America has shown its leadership from the very first days of this war. And this kind of American leadership is crucial for the maintenance of an international order in the world based on rules and predictability of life for all nations. We will certainly use American support to strengthen both our nations and bring a just end to this war closer – a war that Putin must lose.

And I thank the entire Ukrainian team, everyone who works and does everything to bring this outcome closer. I thank all the representatives of our state, all our diplomats who are working to increase the support for Ukraine, all the representatives of the public sector, every volunteer, all the friends of Ukraine. I am grateful to my team. The world unites for Ukraine when Ukrainians unite for independence.

And today I would like to honor those of our people who have shown their best in the aftermath of the Russian strikes over the week – helping people, protecting lives. These are the employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, our medical workers, police officers. Everyone who works on the scene after the hits. Everyone who rescues people from under the rubble, stops fires, and saves the injured. Thank you all!

I would like to mention some of them in particular... Dnipro: Denys Mikheyev, Artem Serha, Dmytro Nikolayenko – these guys are from the State Emergency Service. Vitaliy Arkhypov – an emergency doctor in the Dnipro region, Yevhen Holitsyn – an emergency feldsher. I would also like to mention the police officers: Oleksiy Bondarenko and Vitaliy Andriyanov. Thank you! Karyna Kolisnychenko – a dog handler from the Pavlohrad search and rescue unit. Thank you for every life saved.

Odesa, SES: Yuriy Sukhorukov, Vitaliy Telehus and Artem Kopechynskyi. Thank you, guys!

Chernihiv: Artem Lysenko – a firefighter, Vadym Avramenko and Maksym Zhylko – also employees of the SES in the region, as well as police officers Andriy Vovk and Bohdan Tkachuk. Thank you! I am also grateful to Natalia Nosenok, a nurse who really cares about people and helps them.

I am grateful to everyone who cares about Ukrainians, about life in our country, about their city, their community, about our entire country! And I am especially thankful to each of our warriors. To all those who destroy the Russian occupier, who hold the frontline and thus preserve Ukraine on the world map. We are doing everything to ensure that our warriors have as many opportunities as possible so that this war ends as soon as possible on our terms, Ukrainian terms.

Pray for God 's intervention to stop Putin's invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇸)
How stupid can one person be?

Be careful what you pray for. The intervention you pray for just might come unintended in the form of American lives.

Anyone praying for that, knowing or unknowing, should rot in hell.

"I was here before you."


Lol.. you think so?
Many here know that I was on starting in 2003 under a different name, so that is no excuse. You are still a troll though.

That’s what they’re wishing for. They know Ukraine can’t defeat Russia without our military help.

And that was an age of kitty pictures.

My point is I am a guy of “the good old days”, like most of us pro-Ukraine people. You are complaining about “leftists” that arent. Just people who disagree with you.

Correction: believe you mean may Putin receive Nuremberg defendant from International Court of Justice in Hague. Hermann Göring committed suicide in his cell and ten defendants were executed on October 16, 1946. The last imprisoned Nuremberg defendant to die was Rudolf Hessin 1987.

Perhaps, divide Russia sinto East and West ???

Kiryandil: "It's a Joe Blogs video. The Youtube Clown Who Collapsed."

His site was attacked and deleted.
Now he's back with all 366,000 subscribers restored.

Recent Joe Bloggs posts include:

  1. "RUSSIAN War Economy is Destroying Russia as Businesses Abandon Customer & Markets for War Effort" 171k views

  2. "CHNA Economy IMPLODING - Exports Collapse, Property Price Crash, Imports & Factory Prices Down" 203k views

  3. "RUSSIA Authorizes More Private Armies as Drone Attacks Risk Shutdown of Oil & Gas Industry" 157k views

  4. "RUSSIAN Economy Starts to Collapse as Sanctions Inflict Serious Damage on Inflation & Russian Ruble" 256k views

  5. "RUSSIA - India Stops Buying Russian Oil as Sovcomflot is Sanctioned & USA Crackdown Continues" 217K views
Admittedly Bloggs' headlines are a bit hyperbolic, but his analysis itself is a pretty straightforward, sometimes tedious, look at numbers largely published by the Russian government itself, to illustrate weaknesses in Russia's new war-economy.

The key point Bloggs' points out is that Russia's GDP numbers, while impressive, are based entirely on the growth of Russia's war-economy, meaning, Russia's production of weapons and ammunition is driving up GDP, but every other sector of Russia's pre-war economy is in steep decline, most notably, energy.

Blogg's conclusion is that when or if Russian war production ends, Russia will face an economic collapse similar to what every country felt, immediately at the end of WWII.

Trump allows US-Ukraine aid bill to pass
Apr 21, 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeKPdYtvUIg

“He [Trump] did not jump in there to support that minority, and they went down”.

Donald Trump made “positive” statements about Ukraine on social media posts and did not support the Republican minority working to prevent the $61bn deal for Ukraine aid from passing, says Jim Townsend, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO Policy.

7:17 - 7:38
“This can’t be a cakewalk for Russia this has got to be something that is very difficult and very painful for Russia
it’s got to be something that exacts a cost.

We have to make sure Ukraine has what it takes so that the Russians don’t think they can take over all of Ukraine or that they can grab Ukraine and twist their arm to make a
deal against their wishes. In terms of what the what a future resolution might look like for this Warfare

So for our job is to make sure that in terms of what they need to have in terms of tools Ukraine will have
it and their morale will also be high enough so that they can stand firm.”
