$1 Billion in New U.S. Military Assistance for Ukraine
Washington, DC...Nearly six months into the unprovoked and brutal assault on Ukraine, Russia continues its destruction of Ukrainian towns and villages. President Biden has been clear that we will continue to support the Ukrainian people as they defend their country from Russian aggression, for as long as it takes. As part of those efforts, pursuant to a delegation of authority from the President, today I am authorizing our largest single drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment utilizing this authority. This eighteenth drawdown since August 2021 of up to $1 billion includes arms, munitions, and equipment from U.S. Department of Defense inventories for Ukraine’s self-defense.
This package provides a significant amount of additional ammunition, weapons, and equipment that Ukrainians are using so effectively to defend themselves and will bring total U.S. security assistance to Ukraine to approximately $9.8 billion since the beginning of this Administration.
The United States stands with Allies and partners from more than 50 countries in providing vital security assistance to support Ukraine’s defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russia’s aggression. As this war stretches on, the courage and strength of Ukraine’s military and its people become even more evident and even more extraordinary. Together, we will continue to consult closely with Ukraine and surge additional available systems and capabilities carefully calibrated to make a difference on the battlefield and strengthen Ukraine’s eventual position at the negotiating table.
We stand united with Ukraine.
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
AUGUST 8, 2022

Billion Dollars to Ukraine and you're talking monkeypox? Okay loser, why not go back to your coloring book and crayons and let those over 12 have and let the intelligent commenters have time without you?
Now imagine if President Biden didn't abandon 80 plus BILLION DOLLARS worth of US tax payer bought weapons and equipment in Afghanistan? I'd imagine that the Ukraine would of received some of it.
Let's hope Joe will remember to replenish many of our own weapons he abandoned, and gave away first, THAN help the Ukraine. But Joe doesn't seem to believe in America First

Sniveler knows, the monkeypox vaccine will take all the lead out of his “pencil.” Maybe turn boys into real men. There is hope.

trump tried to roll Zelensky to fabricate shyte on Hunter, just like how bush had T Blair "sex-up" the Iraq war effort.
More evidence trump knew Putin's plans to invade Ukraine, and tried to help Vlad.
TRAITOR.
