US Congress bans Ukraine from spending money on Azov battalion

31
The lower house of the US Congress banned Ukraine from spending the funds allocated to it to support the Azbat national battalion. The corresponding provision is enshrined in the appropriation bill to the Pentagon, reports RIA News

Until the end of September, the Pentagon can allocate 150 millions of dollars to support Ukraine through military lines, including training, lethal weapon defense equipment, machinery and equipment. At the same time, the USA also determines for what purposes the money received by Ukraine should not be spent.

US Congress bans Ukraine from spending money on Azov battalion


Funds provided in accordance with this bill cannot be used for the supply of arms, training or rendering any other assistance to the Azov battalion.
- says the text of the document.

Ukraine is also prohibited from spending the money on the acquisition or transfer of man-portable air defense systems. In addition, according to the bill, Kiev cannot enter into any deals with Rosoboronexport.

"Azov" - one of the so-called volunteer battalions, which were funded from private sources. Later, the Ukrainian authorities declared that there should be no illegal armed formations in the country, and the Ministry of Defense volunteer battalions offered to join the ranks of the armed forces of Ukraine.

The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against the fighters of the Azov battalion on the grounds of crimes provided for in the articles “kidnapping”, “torture”, “using prohibited means and methods of warfare”.

    Yes, bullshit all these prohibitions. Well, the lads will come from the N-th brigade, but in reality there will be "Azov" ... The main thing here is the total AMOUNT that the US is ready to spend on the Armed Forces

      that’s exactly what they’ll mark with each color a new otpiska of striped bureaucrats, but the Azov dogs will throw a piece of meat anyway, otherwise they will gnaw off their hand and it doesn’t matter whose.

          You misunderstood something. They banned spending on Azov because it is included in a separate article and is funded directly from the USA ... winked

          But Ukraine is an independent and great power. And who thinks differently, he does not understand anything in geopolitics. And, in general, “padded jacket” and “separ”.

      The amount as a result was also cut off. From 350 to 150 million. At least something pleases.

        Strange news, this office has long since grown from a battalion to a regiment. Those. it turns out that the battalion can’t be sponsored, and the regiment cannot be sponsored?

        In fact, all this beating is still of Soviet origin. As a state, Ukraine can be completely bankrupt and can live only due to external financing, however, like all post-Soviet states. Only Russia is self-sufficient and can support itself independently.

    The Pentagon may allocate $ 150 million by the end of September ... forbade Ukraine to spend the allocated money on the Azov battalion

    But it’s not easier not to allocate money for APU at all. Although what am I talking about. A parent feeds his brainchild. Again zrada, since even Penganon forbids the financing of Azov.

    In addition, according to the bill, Kiev cannot conclude any transactions with Rosoboronexport.

    This already smacks of dibilism - Rosoboronexport will sell weapons "Svidomo"?

    This is a manifestation of humanism in the American way: we allocate money for the murder of civilians in the Donbass, but it’s for such killers, especially sophisticated, that we don’t allocate money ...

    It looks like an attempt to wash pens from blood .. they say we see we want to help people and not pay for civil war .. although it’s not worth joking around here .. even though the Liliputian little step may be flashy but still common sense .. but still it would be it is more correct to give grain, agricultural machinery, medicines .. anyway, the traitors of their people fulfilled the main task (the earth is in blood, the poor are blamed, they blame the Russians) they would put their rulers more adequately and would buy up the country .. you look, people would have sighed at other companies I would plow .. everything is better than today.

    strange, this was known for a long time. What was fixed is also a long time ago. The official amount has been officially cut back, too long ago.
    What's the news then? The fact that you can not use 150 million to buy in the Russian Federation? Well, the sanctions of Ukraine and the breakdown of all ties with the RF Ministry of Defense, the ban on buying and selling military products from and to the Russian Federation are 2014!
    What's the news?

    Probably they failed to fulfill the standards for the killing of civilians for this month, so they decided to lower their financing significantly.
