US Announces $1.1 Billion More in Military Aid for Ukraine

[1srelluc]

The U.S. will provide an additional $1.1 billion in aid to Ukraine, with funding for about 18 more advanced rocket systems and other weapons to counter drones that Russia has been using against Ukrainian troops, according to U.S. officials.

The latest package is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which funds contracts to purchase weapons and equipment. And it brings the total of U.S. aid to Ukraine to nearly $17 billion since the Biden administration took office. Officials provided details of the package on condition of anonymity because it has not yet been made public.

The aid announcement, expected later Wednesday, comes as Russia moves to annex parts of Russian-occupied Ukraine that held Kremlin-orchestrated referendums on living under Moscow's rule. The votes, denounced by Kyiv and the West as illegal and rigged, underscore that Russia's long-term goal remains taking control of Ukraine.

Jeez....So they approve like an additional 1 Billion a day every day? Sometimes they'll just take 6 days off to trick us and approve $12 Billion that day to make up for the lost days?

That 10% for the Big Man must really be adding up.....Tater's brother is going to have to hire a money manager.

It would be easier to address this without the extreme partisan arguments. When you argue it's happening just so Biden can get a cut you lost a lot of people.

Himars rocket launchers, hundreds of tanks, armored personnel carriers and dozens of artillery systems were found on the border with Russia, reports Avia.pro .

The reason for such extreme activity of NATO forces is unclear, but the latter have been observed for 72 hours, with military equipment deployed near the Russian border.

A few days ago, high activity of the US and Polish troops was noted on the territory of Poland.

Initially, it was believed that the transportation of military equipment was connected with the delivery of weapons to the territory of Ukraine, but later it became clear that tanks, armored vehicles and artillery were transported to the Belarusian and Russian borders.

A day earlier, a high level of NATO activity was noted on the Estonian-Latvian border, associated with the movement of military equipment towards the Russian border, and American Himars multiple launch rocket systems were found on the territory of Latvia.

The situation looks very dangerous because of the extremely difficult relations between Russia and NATO, although the United States justified it with military exercises, although Washington did not comment on why military equipment was concentrated directly at the Russian border and garrison in neighboring Belarus, and not at the training ground.

With all the weaponry that’s being sent, you’re the ones doing the war in a roundabout way.
And you will win because you are a much more a logical army power than Russia.
This Russian army is a mess even we French could beat them.
His only card that’s more or less powerful is his nuclear card that’s driving everyone in a corner.

That works out to roughly $7.00 per tax payer.

Putin is the war mongerer

Allowing him to bully his neighbors without consequences only encourages him
His invasion must have consequences
So will any use of nuclear weapons
