Summary
The U.S. announced $5.9 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, including $2.5 billion in military support and $3.4 billion in budget assistance, as President Biden finalizes his term.
This brings total U.S. military aid since 2022 to $61.4 billion and budget aid to over $30 billion, supporting Ukraine’s government and military amid intensifying Russian attacks.
Biden emphasized the importance of continued support, though uncertainty looms under Trump, who has questioned U.S. involvement.
Treasury Secretary Yellen warned against cutting aid, calling Ukraine’s success vital to U.S. interests.
And good morning to you too. How’s the weather in Russia?
Just because I don’t like Zelensky consequently I am Russian? hahahaja
Of course I don’t, I just hope they pay you well.
Putin pays me very well, of course
I don’t have anything to add to that. Enjoy the new year, man :)
you too
Or you have every single hit released by Putin, including the Christmas special where you can see Elon Musk covered in jingle bells jumping around in the background.
Part of me thinks this could actually be a real thing.
Yeah…
It’s more russian sympathizer than a meme
You know what you are, otherwise you would have stuck to a hexbear or lemmy.ml user
Do you actually think they just send a load of cash to them?
I don’t know how many times this needs to be explained, but this is not money. It is not stacks of cash we could use to hand out to the homeless, or to rent them apartments.
This is war materiel. Artillery shells, vehicles, etc. It is assigned a dollar value. This is stuff we have sitting in warehouses, sometimes pretty old and in need of replacement anyway.
I’m no fan of the military industrial complex, but these donations could even be seen as a way to create American jobs in American factories, building modern replacements for what is being sent.
