The US will dispatch an additional $1.2 billion in military aid to Ukraine as Kyiv prepares its long-anticipated counter-offensive against Russia, the State Department announced Tuesday, the NY Post reports.
The package, which will not come from US stocks but be purchased with congressionally approved funds, will include additional air defense systems and munitions; ammunition for counter-drone systems; 155mm artillery rounds; satellite imagery services; and “support for training, maintenance, and sustainment activities,” the department said.
The aid is designed “to bolster its air defenses and sustain [Ukraine’s] artillery ammunition needs,” according to an agency statement, which added that the material is also meant to support “building the capacity of Ukraine’s Armed Forces to defend its territory and deter Russian aggression over the long term.”
The package will also include “equipment to integrate Western air defense launchers, missiles and radars with Ukraine’s air defense systems,” which is particularly important as Kyiv’s troops work with both donated weaponry and their existing systems.
why? what does the US get out of this? this just proves that you can get the benefits of Nato, without having to have the responsibilities of belonging to Nato
Guns and ammunition. Almost as good as thoughts and prayers.
This era is weak to nerve. Russia finalizes only its cunning theft.
The evil regime over the US pumping another $1,200,000,000 to its evil puppet regime over Ukraine to continue its abuse & murder of Russian civilians and its fight against Russian troops who came to stop this abuse and to continue shooting its US made drones & rockets into private Russian lands is simply trying to bring us all one point two billion points closer to full nuclear annihilation World War III, Rachmana Litzlan!!
It has been revealed and is well known that a huge amount, probably the vast bulk, of all this US money going to Ukraine, WILL NOT reach any of the destitute embattled Ukraine civilians. Rather, it will end up thickly lining the personal pockets of Zelensky and his many cronies. This way, their wives will have plenty of $$$$$ when they go on their shopping sprees in Europe’s super-ritzy stores, as Zelensky’s wife did in her recent trip to Paris. And in this way, they will have plenty of $$$$$$ to keep fully financing their secret rings of to kidnap & traffic & murder millions of children for the worst pedophile Toeiva and Satan worship sacrifices.
We must increase our tax revenue that we give over to the butcher Zelenskyy. Being that Ukraine is not even a member of NATO means we must give the poor downtrodden Ukrainian nazis every month billions of US tax dollars.
