US Congress may increase military assistance to Ukraine, but cut back on Georgia

The United States may increase military assistance to Ukraine by $ 2021 million in fiscal year 25. This proposal was made by the appropriation committee of the US House of Representatives, the draft military budget says.

According to representatives of the committee, next year Ukraine needs to allocate 275 million dollars, which is 25 million more than in 2020. Earlier it was reported that in 2021, military assistance to Kiev was expected in the region of $ 250 million. However, the issue of increasing the amount of military assistance has not yet been finally resolved. Before it is signed by the President of the United States, the document has to go through a very complicated approval process.



It is proposed to spend the increased amount on training the personnel of the Ukrainian army, providing weapons, logistic support, intelligence support to the military and the "national security forces" of Ukraine. The Pentagon, which characterizes Ukraine as "a key US partner at the forefront of strategic competition with Russia," advocates increased military assistance.

If news If Ukraine is likely to increase military assistance, it will delight Ukraine, the next one, which also came from the US Congress, can greatly upset another US partner - Georgia. The thing is that the Congress proposed to cut back assistance to Tbilisi, and immediately by 15%.

The US military budget for 2021 includes Georgia’s military assistance in the amount of 132 million dollars. However, Congress believes that it should be cut back, as Tbilisi does not comply with all US instructions. But this amount can be left unchanged if the US State Department provides evidence of the effective policy of the Georgian government "to strengthen democratic institutions and the fight against corruption, as well as protecting foreign investors."

    Once again, the Hammers decided to give us intelligence equipment, but they are embarrassed to do it directly - again, they will have to pick up trophies.

                And the recruitment of the US military command of the Russian language, as well as the development of combat techniques in urban settings, is of course also to cover up Biden’s affairs. As well as the deployment of missile defense systems in Europe.

                  No.
                  This is in order to "contain Russia." Americans do not give up their attempts to arrange an "arms race-2"

                  However, the US military "aid" to Ukraine from the Democratic-run Congress is purely a bribe for silence. For I remind you for those who have forgotten: Trump was just accused of conditioning the allocation of such assistance to an investigation into the Biden arts in Ukraine.

                    I remind you for those who don’t remember, the deployment of missile defense in Europe, the transfer of troops to the borders of Russia, the sharp increase in the number of reconnaissance flights along the borders of Russia, the incitement of hatred towards Russia and the Russians have been going on for a long time. It began before Trump, and with it he only intensifies and associating this only with the upcoming elections is the height of naivety.

        Rodents have already tried on themselves how to really fight with the Russian Armed Forces, even if not in the best times for the Russian army, and while memories are fresh, they do not burn with desire to repeat this. They walk around with a blindfold and the inscription "- 20%" quietly rejoicing that there is no more. And Svidomites from across the ocean are singing an old Georgian song that they are "the strongest and most invincible." Fools from "Square", hanging their ears, happily listen to the sweet voice of the overseas, not bothering their wretched brain with thoughts about the consequences.

    characterizes Ukraine as "a key US partner at the forefront of strategic competition with Russia."
    And Georgia won back in 2008, so it can be cut. Ukraine will fight back according to the same scenario and it will not need any more help. All the "partners" of the United States, which they fed, armed, trained, eventually suffered defeat, or scattered like cockroaches (the so-called "moderate opposition" in Syria).

      I never heard that these data were voiced. Putin then said that there for the Hammers are such that the Americans really want to return them? We know that there is reconnaissance equipment. But this is our legitimate trophy. Maybe not verbatim, but something like that put it. And that’s all. I did not hear anything more on this topic.

    The increased amount is proposed to be spent on training personnel of the Ukrainian army (salary of instructors from the USA and other stationery), the provision of weapons (manufacturers may not pay a little tax), logistic support (here it is clear - we will bring it at reasonable prices), intelligence support to the military and "national security forces" of Ukraine ( inexpensive xerim pictures).
