President Joe Biden will provide an additional $250 million in military aid for Ukraine as Kyiv faces advancing Russian forces in the east and devastating strikes by Moscow.
US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said Friday said: ‘I’m pleased to say that President (Joe) Biden will announce today an additional $250 million security assistance package for Ukraine. It will surge in more capabilities to meet Ukraine’s evolving requirements’.
The announcement comes at a perilous time for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into Russia’s Kursk region, despite Russia‘s threats to plough through the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk.
It also comes days after Ukraine suffered one of its darkest days after two ballistic missiles killed at least 51 people and injured 219 in the Poltava region.
The missiles hit a military training centre and a nearby hospital in a central region of Ukraine with Zelensky vowing ‘Russian scum will pay for this’ following the devastating attack.
It appeared to be one of the deadliest carried out by Russian forces since the war began more than 900 days ago on February 24, 2022.
This comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently slammed Western allies for taking too long to make key decisions on military support.
The Ukrainian leader also said he was pushing partners to get more involved in the conflict Ukraine to use Western weapons against the enemy.
The call to accelerate aid and push so-called ‘red lines’ of engagement in the conflict reflect the growing pressure Ukrainian forces are under along more than 1,000 km of front lines in the northeast, east and south of the country.
That’s not to say Zelensky has not expressed gratitude over the $61 billion aid package that was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in April following months of delays.
The long-awaited military and economic assistance from Biden in April was warmly welcomed by the Ukrainian president, who said that the package would ‘save thousands and thousands of lives’.
The U.S. has been the chief military backer of Ukraine in its war against Russia, but Congress has not approved large-scale funding for its ally for nearly a year an a half, mainly because of cross-aisle bickering.
Biden and Democratic lawmakers in Congress have been pushing for a major new weapons package for Ukraine for months.
But Republicans, influenced by the party’s presidential candidate Donald Trump, have been reluctant to provide funding to Kyiv for the drawn-out conflict.
its no matter worthless fiat money out of
thin air + some digitalnumbers in ccomputer .
millions, billions, trillions BULLSHIT !
worth is only WORK ! like Hitler knew .
not digital numbers .
I can only conjecture that Lloyd Austin must be getting crate-loads of bananas from Ukraine in return!
With the help of a military budget that is KNOWN to be almost a tril, Joe (once again) subverts the will of the American people. No idea what the money actually does, who gets what, the headlines say HUGE, hurling (another) $250 million is a clearly losing proposition, MORE taxation without representation. NO SAY at all anymore in how money the people don’t really have is pissed away, tack on the interest too…
From the constitution saying ‘no standing armies’ to being slowly bled by giving away moola that doesn’t really exist, in the name of ‘national security’ , war really IS a racket.
Look at this treasonous man, and yes, he does what he is told, what an obedient dog.
Yes, the money is going to the pockets of the bought out treasonous Ukraine leaders. Blackrock and all the other big investments firms from the same tribe must all be very happy.
MIC whitewash operations ..
If it’s just $250m they’re giving Ukraine instead of even in the low billions then America is running out of money and time is getting short. The CIA and MI6 are warning Russia is planning terrorist attacks in Europe, without bothering to say why the side that’s winning and has never done that before would do it now, so Russia must be watching closely for NATO Operation Gladio false flag attacks in Europe like in the 1970s, to be blamed this time not on Reds but on Russia. If that happens Italy may be the target, not because of the old Red Brigade but because Georgia Meloni is becoming Little Miss Independent again who’s also going soft on the war.
Russia must be ready for such an attack because the west will call it a casus belli, and because US-led NATO may send nukes immediately after before even proclaiming who did it.
ZWOG (US/Russia) isn’t satisfied enough whites have been liquidated in Ukraine yet. War must go on.
The language used has followed money-obsessed America: it is not 250 million in military equipment, it is military equipment, and money does not buy you that unless there are the people and resources to make it. These are not a given, while the fiat money is
