US State Department Secretary Anthony Blinken announces another military aid package for Ukraine

The United States has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine, which will be sent to Kyiv in the near future. This time, Washington has been generous with $350 million. This was stated by the head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken.

US President Joe Biden, apparently unable to fulfill his duties, therefore delegated his powers to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who announced the allocation of new military assistance to Kiev for 350 million dollars. As stated in the message, the package will include ammunition for the HIMARS MLRS, 155-mm howitzers, ammunition for the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, anti-tank weapons, boats for river flotilla Ukrainian fleet and HARM anti-radar missiles.

Today, in accordance with the authority given to me by President Biden, I will authorize the 34th US weapons and military equipment for Ukraine, estimated at $350 million

Blinken said.

Judging by the list of military aid, where the basis is ammunition, the United States is in a hurry to supply Ukraine with everything necessary for the planned offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which may follow in the near future. Washington has repeatedly stated that they are betting on a counterattack by the Ukrainian army, which should lead to a turning point on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the European Union still approved the plan of EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell to allocate 2 billion euros from the European Peace Fund for ammunition for Ukraine. In the near future, Europe will supply Kyiv with 1 million artillery shells, the shipment will be carried out within the next 12 months. Another billion will go to the production of ammunition.

The Yankees clearly decided to make cannon fodder out of Ukrainians, and to weaken Russia so much that they could dictate or manage. Inhumans!

[Argon]

Am I the only one who is infuriated by what they call "help", supply, and then their provocative offspring called "euromaidan"? They have created a challenger and they will continue to sponsor him. What help are you talking about? Helping those in need, right?

What kind of help are we talking about? Helping those in need, right?

What are you not "European", you see the situation wrong: help to those in need is “sawed” together by sponsors and representatives of those in need, and all of them together do not care about those in need, well, they can throw a little to keep jumping

[Egoza]

See how they accelerated. Why are you silent about

The European Union has problems with the production and shipment of ammunition to Ukraine. The reason was the lack of stocks of gunpowder and explosives.
This is stated in the material of the Financial Times.
EU countries are negotiating with companies in the US and South Korea to build factories for the production of explosives needed for the production of ammunition. In particular, the 155-mm caliber shells needed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The second problem is the increase in the cost of materials for the production of shells. For example, today an ordinary projectile costs 850 euros, which is 20% more than before the start of Russia's special operation in Ukraine.

They made a decision. Deliver a million shells within a year. Where will they get it? Most likely they will launch a production line.

The European Union has problems with the production and shipment of ammunition to Ukraine. The reason was the lack of stocks of gunpowder and explosives.

To do this, they just allocated another billion

Another billion will go to the production of ammunition.

A billion more, a billion less - they have money like a fool candy wrappers.

[War Lord]

As long as the Bandera people are ready to kill Russians, US and EU military supplies to Ukraine will flow.

[Fedor Sokolov]

The leadership of the "golden billion" has enough cannon fodder! When Ukrainians run out, Poles, Balts, Romanians, Moldavians, Bulgarians will go into action, and only then it is possible (provided that Russia is sufficiently weakened) that Western Europe and the North American continent will enter the war.

[Argon]

They can do it. WWII indicator. How did Stalin ask them to open a second front? We waited a long time. They were waiting for the Wehrmacht to weaken and took a weak, wounded "bear" "tiger". Yes, the vulture helped a little, but did not get into a fight until the "tiger" was able to grab the "vulture" by the throat. In principle, what can be blamed on a coward who is used to flying at the top (that is, sitting behind a puddle), eating carrion and considering himself smarter than everyone else? It's very hard to blame him for anything. You can only shoot or stir up its nest. Otherwise, do not influence him in any way!

[Retvizan 8]

We allocated 350 million dollars, which will be used to buy ammunition.
In short, they paid themselves.
And the Ukrainians will not see this money.
A pricey and rotten American enrichment scheme.

[private person]

And the Ukrainians will not see this money.

So money is out of the question. The Americans are pouring funds into their defense industry along the way, waging a war to deplete Russia with their hands somehow.

I take out the bag of bags of bags every time I put a new bag of bags into it.

Nudk they wage war against the Russian Federation! everything seems to be obvious after they want to arrest the president of the Russian Federation and the warrants were issued, the illusions should be dispelled!

[ivan2022]

Incredible things are happening. An open letter.. and to whom? Kojugetuchu. Prig directly pointed a finger! Not good....

. Gerasim had been whispering with the Chef the day before. I thought, why did they announce it? And then .... that Kudzhugetych was not let in ... .... Apparently, Khan ... it is known that if the boss does not want to talk, this is worse than when he scolds.

Conclusion: a large Benz is likely. Because they found the last

[nik-mazur]

In Washington ... they are betting on a counterattack by the Ukrainian army, which should lead to a turning point on the battlefield

It is wildly interesting how they propose to strike such a blow that the entire Russian army will be completely defeated and will lose the ability to conduct combat operations? Despite the fact that about a fifth of the Russian army is operating in Ukraine, firstly, and secondly, it is not concentrated in one place where it is possible to give a general battle in the calculation of winning with one blow. Not to mention the fact that instead of a decisive victory, on the contrary, you can lose catastrophically - the Germans on the Kursk Bulge also counted on a radical change. Which, strictly speaking, happened, only not in their favor.

2 billion euros from the European peace fund for ammunition

"War is peace!"
I wonder if anyone still thinks Orwell's novel is about the Soviet Union and socialism?

[War Lord]

"White House spokesman said that since Ukraine is a free, independent and fully sovereign state, the US will not allow President Zelensky to accept any peace plans proposed by the Chinese delegation in Moscow"

[Fitter65]

The 34th package of American weapons and military equipment for Ukraine, estimated at $350 million

That's about another 8,5 million for every Ukrainian...

[sgr291158]

With such help, Ukraine will soon leave you without pants.
