The US Congress imposed a limit on the provision of military assistance to Ukraine

The US Secretary of Defense will be able to spend only $ 175 million from $ 350 million to provide military assistance to Kiev, until Congress is sure that the necessary defense reforms have been carried out in Ukraine, reports TASS report of the Senate Committee of Armed Forces Affairs.

The bill restricts the use of half of this amount ($ 350 million) until the Secretary of Defense (USA) assures (Congress) that Ukraine has made a real effort to carry out institutional reforms in the defense sphere, according to explanatory materials on the committee’s website .

Earlier, both houses of Congress have already passed this bill, but the versions of the Senate and the House of Representatives differed, and therefore their coordination was required. Now both documents are consolidated into one, it was supported, including the Democrats in the relevant committees.

It is reported that an amendment was included in both texts, according to which the Pentagon is allowed to supply Kiev with “defensive weapons, equipment, as well as conduct training for the Ukrainian military and provide them with technical support”. Moreover, for the first time, permission has been given to use these means "to strengthen the Ukrainian Navy by supplying sea mines and coastal defenses."

Both chambers will again need to vote in favor of the document, but this process is unlikely to be associated with any additional debates and approvals.

Maybe they will throw it, or maybe not. "Exceptional" know how to count money, on this skill they raised the country. And the "black hole" (read - 404) is unpredictably tying sponsorship money. Sam goat-bearded Sam scratched his chin and said: "Nope, I’ll wait. Here are sea mines and means for dirty tricks to these" skakuasam "ladies, let them build Russian tricks."

, Maxim. And do not doubt in vain. There are few sensible people in the governments of the current USA, and even those are crushed by the media and hawks. All they have to do is squeak - there’s an accusation of "the hand of Moscow", a sentence, digging in a wallet and "on the bench." From the old Senate Guard, the "ex" are trying to temper the current "McCain", but the system breaks them through the knee. So that (IMHO) the Yankees will not leave the Ruin, they will stand there until the last Khokhl and will come up with new and new dirty tricks in our direction. Again IMHO, after Putin and Trump's get-togethers, we need to recognize the independence of the LDP and withdraw our verdict on the legitimacy of the presidential election in / on Ruin. Nehru to tickle with them.

I also do not understand, and I have spoken out here at VO more than once. But apparently, those who make decisions have their own reasons. The biggest mistake (IMHO) was the stop command of the LDNR armies. But what has been done is done - the repetition will be much more difficult and bloody.

We also need to openly, without regard to their “barking”, provide “defense” assistance to the Donbass. We have more moral right to do so. We protect the Russian population, which has been exterminated.

Good day, Marina.
Half have already been transferred, and the second slowed down. They promised to supply sea mines (probably for sabotage - the grip of Anglo-Saxon is felt) and "lethal defensive means" (which verbiage). In general, there will be no peace and tranquility in the land of the former Ukraine, the fight against the "aggressor" until the last Khokhlov. I see so.

I was always surprised at such news, it means practically nothing! The congress in the USA is a very serious structure, but the Americans are pushing deliveries at the state level through Congress. The United States has a couple of three sponsors with closed articles, where even Congress does not have access. This is primarily the CIA and the NSA. There are a couple more structures affiliated with the Pentagon

The U.S. House and Senate House Armed Forces Committees have approved a draft defense budget for FY 2018. a year that provides for 350 million for Ukraine, including in the form of lethal weapons. It is clarified that the law contains a restriction on the allocation of half of these funds until the head of the Pentagon confirms that Ukraine has taken measures to implement institutional reforms in the defense sector. In general, to counter Russia, the US defense budget for 2018 FY. the year provides for the allocation of 4.6 billion. as part of the European containment initiative to support NATO allies and strengthen US military capabilities in Europe. Plus 100 million. Baltic countries, plus 58 million to respond to a violation by Russia of arms reduction treaties. In general, 700 billion are supposed to be allocated for defense needs. dollars.
