Happy New Year ‘Gift’ To Ukraine: MORE BILLIONS


What better way to start off a New Year than to give billions away?

Well, we’re in luck because the Biden Administration just announced $2.5 billion to Ukraine for security assistance.

But wait, there’s more!

 

What else will Ukraine be getting, you ask?

Janet Yellen also wanted to join the party and gave $3.4 billion in budget aid.

That brings the total to $5.9 BILLION.

Looks like the champagne will be flowing in Kyiv this New Year’s Eve at Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s house.

Reuters reports:

The United States on Monday announced nearly $6 billion in additional military and budget assistance for Ukraine as President Joe Biden uses his final weeks in office to surge aid to Kyiv before President-elect Donald Trump takes power.
Biden announced $2.5 billion in additional security assistance for Ukraine.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the United States has made available $3.4 billion in additional budget aid to Ukraine, giving the war-torn country critical resources amid intensifying Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.

“At my direction, the United States will continue to work relentlessly to strengthen Ukraine’s position in this war over the remainder of my time in office,” Biden said in a statement.

Biden’s announcement includes $1.25 billion in military aid drawn from U.S. stockpiles and a $1.22 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) package, the final USAI package of Biden’s time in office.
Under USAI, military equipment is procured from the defense industry or partners, rather than drawn from American stocks, meaning it can take months or years to arrive on the battlefield.

Yellen said in a statement the direct budget assistance, provided in coordination with the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department, marked the final disbursement under the 2024 Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.

The U.S. Congress has approved $175 billion in total assistance for Ukraine since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Recently the Russians have been using North Korean troops to bolster their fighting position.

North Korean forces are experiencing mass casualties on the front lines of Russia’s war against Ukraine, with 1,000 of their troops killed or wounded in the last week alone in Russia’s Kursk region, White House spokesperson John Kirby said on Friday.

Biden said the new assistance will provide Ukraine with “an immediate influx of capabilities that it continues to use to great effect on the battlefield and longer-term supplies of air defense, artillery, and other critical weapons systems.”

How many billions have we sent to Ukraine?

The total appears to be around $211 billion.

I know, why so low?

Why don’t we give them all the billions?

The funny part is, they think they’ll be able to keep it.

You don’t think President Trump will be able to see the receipts?

The paper trail?

You don’t think he’s going to get back every penny?

But let the Democrats have their few moments of delusional fun. They’ve only got 20+ days left to pretend to be in charge.

Meanwhile in North Carolina…
