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.”
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…
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.
Imagine using these money to make something useful and not to fuel wars and dictatorships
I mean, defending the borders of a sovereign, democratic state from invasion, rape, murder and genocide seems like “something useful” to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ukraine is not a democracy anymore it’s a military state under martial law where no man between 18 and 60 can surpass an invisible line on the map or they would get arrested. There are a thousand ways to help ukrainian people that don’t involve forcing them into a proxy war against russia. For example sanctioning Arab Emirates where russian are chilling or stopping business partnerships with china who is providing russia weapons. Politicians simply are not interested in this, they seek profits and building weapons and giving them to other governments is an investment for them and a tool to increase their power. The west and russia too are supporting and making possible a genocide in gaza right now, rulers don’t care about people.
Ukraine can’t win without foreign troops on the ground, though.
This is just using them as cannon fodder to weaken Russia.
I feel bad for the Ukrainians duped by the West into thinking they actually have a chance because of some weapons.
Jaaayyyysus…All you ever do is come into these threads repeating “Ukraine can’t win without foreign troops on the ground” over and over and over.
4 times in the last 2 days by my quick check. (edit: sorry, 5 and more if we go back to 3 days)
Alright, alright. We heard you. You can stop saying it now.
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. :)
