The US will send $300m (£234m) in military weapons to Ukraine, including ammunition, rockets and anti-aircraft missiles, the White House has said.
The surprise announcement comes as a bill in Congress to send further aid to Ukraine stalls amid partisan debate.
The US shipment, the first in nearly three months, is intended to prevent Ukraine from losing ground to Russia.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said this aid “is nowhere near enough to meet Ukraine’s battlefield needs”.
“This ammunition will keep Ukraine’s guns firing for a period, but only a short period,” Mr Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday, adding that “it will not prevent Ukraine from running out of ammunition.”
Partisan Debate?
You mean the GOP sabotaging Democracy again?
what the fuck has France got to do with it
Can someone explain if the white house can do this, why didn’t they do it before and we had to wade through partisan nonsense?
The White House had a budget previously approved by Congress for Pentagon operations, and that budget was not fully expended due to internal cost savings, giving the WH room to reallocate some of it. But this is just a drop in the bucket, Congress needs to act on the larger support package and provide dedicated funds for the effort.
Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Politically it may cause issues. Diplomacy is usually the best route.
Wow, it’s like you said nothing about anything.
You would make a great politician.
Imagine using these money to make something useful and not to fuel wars and dictatorships
So you dont think saving the lives of Ukrainian children is useful?
Fueling the war with more weapons like cluster munitions is the opposite of helping ukrainian children. The white house is ok with killing thousand of children in gaza, what make you think they care more about the ones in ukraine?
Hey, thanks for outing yourself as a Russian troll farm account so I can add you to my blacklist very kind of you. :)
What makes you think i work for the russian government when i’m calling out them all for being corrupted scum?
Yep remember all that showmanship about how the Republicans in Congress are evil and preventing aid. Well, then white house just decided to send it anyway, as if that wasn’t always an option…
You guys are trying so hard to make Biden look bad at the benefit of making Trump look good and it doesn’t even compare. Trump is a piece of shit and anyone who supports him needs to realize they are being conned. He is a con artist first. You are a rube. Gullible. Foolish. If you believe he is telling you the truth then you have been tricked. Trump wants to dismantle all aid to any country threatened by Russia, Iran, North Korea and anyone else that might have actually donated some significant amount of “Foreign Aid” to his campaign funds and legal funds. The man is nearly half a billion in the hole because of the recent court cases against him. You really expect him to not take money from literally anyone at this point to pay those legal fees? Seriously? The man is a walking security risk with such a large fine on his hands. He is too hot to elect. He is one step short of being a fucking felon and you want to conflate him as being somehow better than Biden? Fuck all the way off dude.
He didn’t even mention Trump.
It’s funny now that works huh, the polarization
I’m always impressed at how technology has evolved enough to allow people as retarded as you to manage navigating the internet to type braindead shit like this
Lung is dumb as fuck, but can you not use ‘retarded’ as a slur in the year of our lord 2024??
By not obsessing about maybe offending people who are definitely not reading my comment.
Ok Boomer.
