The United States is ready to provide Ukraine with up to $20 billion, reports the Financial Times. These funds will be allocated as part of the G7 loan, which will be repaid from the profits generated by frozen Russian assets.

The newspaper noted that the loan negotiations are accelerating as Western officials want to provide funding to Kyiv by the end of the year, realizing that if presidential candidate Donald Trump wins the US election, Washington's aid to Ukraine could be cut off.

Negotiations on a loan for Ukraine

The Group of Seven countries have been negotiating the structure of the $50 billion loan agreed in June for several months, with Washington's contribution expected to be less than originally planned because the EU could not guarantee that Russian assets would remain immobilized for at least three years.

But on Friday, US officials told their G7 counterparts that Washington would provide the full initial amount, which is about $20 billion.


Uh huh, "frozen Russian accounts". Oh yeah, that's sounds legit, because we've been through years of "oops the Pentagon had an accounting error and now we can give them more money", but nobody ever thought to give them money from the mythical "frozen Russian accounts" up until now?

Yeah right......I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

Christmas is right around the corner and Paris is calling Mrs Zelensky's name again.

Not many people are paying attention to what Trump is saying. As the saying goes, they take him literally, but not seriously.

Trump has said that because of Biden's incompetence as a "world leader," this war has gone on for much longer than it would have if Biden had balls, and hence most of the money sent there has been wasteful and he (Trump) would not have done it that way.

He has no intention of cutting off funds to Ukraine (ignoring for a moment the fact that the President has no Constitutional power to send even a dime to anyone). What he will do is get the parties to the negotiation table, get a cease fire, and stop the war, thus making further military funds unnecessary.

While the loss of life is the biggest tragedy, paying for Ukraine to be rebuilt will be an enormous task, made worse by the rampant corruption for which that country is known.

Let the EU pay for the Uke's rebuilding.....See how they like the bottomless pit of Uke corruption.

The trick will be to figure out how to get Russia to pay for it. And get American goods, machinery, and contractors on site to do much of the work.

Um... this negotiation has been going on for like 2 years, my man.

No, we will let Russia pay for it.

No, we will let Russia pay for it.

Like Mexico for the wall on the border?

Like Mexico for the wall on the border?

Did we sieze billions of dollars of Mexican assets?

No?

Then, no.

Finally some good news. Every cent that goes to Ukraine is money well spent.

I see, as a true gangster state, the US is going to just steal these Russian assets.
