US To Provide $1bn More In Security Aid For Ukraine: Biden by Hermzou: 7:33pm On Jun 15, 2022
US President announces a new package of
arms and ammunition to help Kyiv fight
Russia in eastern Ukraine.
The assistance package includes coastal
defence weapons and advanced rocket
systems for the Donbas fight, US president
says.
US President Joe Biden has told his
Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr
Zelenskyy that Washington is
releasing $1bn in new security
assistance to Kyiv amid fierce
fighting in eastern Ukraine, the
White House said.
In a statement released after the call
between the two leaders on
Wednesday, Biden reaffirmed his
commitment to helping Ukraine
against what he called “Russia’s
brutal and ongoing war” on the
country.
“I informed President Zelenskyy that
the United States is providing
another $1 billion in security
assistance for Ukraine, including
additional artillery and coastal
defense weapons, as well as
ammunition for the artillery and
advanced rocket systems that the
Ukrainians need to support their
defensive operations in the Donbas,”
Biden said.
The release of aid comes from the
more than $40bn the US has
allocated for aid to Ukraine.
The US had previously sent rocket
systems to the country while
stressing that it will not provide
weapons that can reach targets
inside Russia.
Russia launched its all-out invasion
of Ukraine on February 24 after a
months-long standoff that saw
Moscow amass troops near the
Ukrainian borders as Russian
President Vladimir Putin demanded
an end to NATO expansion into
former Soviet republics.
After its failure to capture the
capital, Kyiv, Moscow has scaled
back its war objectives, shifting its
war efforts to the eastern Donbas
region and the southern parts of
Ukraine.
In recent weeks, Russian forces have
been making slow advances in the
area. Russia captured the strategic
port city of Mariupol last month, and
it is seeking the surrender of
Ukrainian fighters remaining in the
town of Severodonetsk .
US officials have said they are
tailoring their military assistance to
Ukraine to the needs of the
battlefield in Donbas.
“The bravery, resilience, and
determination of the Ukrainian
people continues to inspire the
world,” Biden said on Wednesday.
“And the United States, together with
our allies and partners, will not
waver in our commitment to the
Ukrainian people as they fight for
their freedom.”
The US president also announced
$225m in humanitarian assistance to
Ukrainians. The funds will go to
“supplying safe drinking water,
critical medical supplies and health
care, food, shelter, and cash for
families to purchase essential items”
inside the country, Biden said.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
also spoke with his Ukrainian
counterpart Dmytro Kuleba on
Wednesday.
“The Secretary and Foreign Minister
Kuleba discussed steps to expedite
the delivery of heavy weaponry to
Ukraine and bolster the Ukrainian
economy, including efforts to ensure
that Ukrainian agricultural products
reach international markets,” the US
Department of State said in a
statement describing the call.
Earlier on Wednesday, US Secretary
of Defense Lloyd Austin called on
allies to step up military aid for
Ukraine to resist the Russian
invasion.
“We must intensify our shared
commitment to Ukraine’s self-
defence , and we must push
ourselves even harder to ensure that
Ukraine can defend itself, its citizens
and its territory,” Austin said at a
meeting in Brussels for dozens of
countries backing Ukraine.
In the White House statement, Biden
said he discussed Austin’s efforts in
Brussels to “coordinate additional
international support for the
Ukrainian armed forces” with
Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy. The
White House said the call between
the two leaders lasted more than 40
minutes.
The Biden administration has been
periodically announcing military aid
packages to Ukraine, each worth
hundreds of millions of dollars and
containing weapons to help
Ukrainian forces fend off the
invasion in the east.
Earlier this year, the US Congress
approved $13.6bn for Ukraine, and
last month, lawmakers authorised
another $40bn in additional military
and humanitarian assistance for the
country. The administration has
been dispensing Ukraine aid from
those funds.

Where did the €40B go shocked shocked
USA and EU have supported Ukraine with over €10B within 3 months yet they are losing everyday that even BBC and Sky news are making noises everyday for Ukraine to get to negotiation table because the more the war goes on, the more Russia gain increases.

Today IKEA said they will sell off Russia factories just like McDonald did, meaning indirectly operating in Russia just like many manufacturing companies have opened up back especially German, Austria and French companies.

Ukraine proposes to Gazprom to increase the transit of gas through its territory via the Ukrainian GTS against the backdrop of a decrease in gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream.

See the country that is making noise oooh cheesy


Just now
The White House is urging US citizens to refrain from fighting in Ukraine: there are many other ways to support Kiev, a spokesman for DB Kirby said

Not just that. What happened to the land lease agreement, that was suppose to provide Ukraine with whatever weapons they need.
Isn't it obvious to these people that Russia can not loose this war.
It appears Zelensky and the people around him have mental issues.

When I say the comedian isn’t wise someone said I was not correct!!!

America gave you loan of 40bn dollars of which you got only 8 but you’d pay d full 40bn when repaying, the lend lease is still there ooo!! Now the whole weapons they have been supplying you has not been helpful!! Sanctions aren’t even working!! Your nation and soldiers are being destroyed!!

Why don’t you come to terms with reality and negotiate peace?? Noooo!! You are a western puppet!! Tueh

You need to see BBC and Sky news before June and now, they are already reporting that Ukraine needs to negotiate with Russia now before it’s too late as it looks like Russia is ready for long war.
The more the war goes on the more money Russia is making and more territories, they are taking from Ukraine.

Some NATO members, USA and France except UK have said Ukraine need to start negotiating with Russia.
If Ukraine don’t negotiate now and Russia start offensive on Odessa then it’s full over for Ukraine.

Davyd Arakhamia, advisor to Ukrainian Minister of Defense says Ukraine loses up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers daily - with 200 to 500 killed on average.

He said those losses had risen significantly over the last two weeks of fighting, but he added Ukraine can offset the growing losses because they had drafted about a million people into the army and had the potential to recruit another two million.

Joe Biden is on his way to be a one- term president.
Too bad he is falling too short of expectation on economy.
