The US is giving Ukraine billions more in weapons

The Biden administration's latest infusion of more than $2.7 billion in military aid for Ukraine and the promise of billions more will give Kyiv a massive boost in air defenses, but much of the aid is in long-range contracts for weapons that won't be seen on the battlefield for some time.

Included in a $2.4 billion long-term assistance package announced Thursday — just before meetings between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — is another Patriot missile battery and additional munitions for the system.

Patriots are critical air defense systems that the U.S. military uses around the world to protect American forces and allies. It is a high-demand air defense capability, and the U.S. has a limited number of them and the missiles they fire.

The system is being provided through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which funds longer-term contracts.

How the U.S always giving million and billions to other countries when the U.S can use that money for its own people..

[Jannette]

He is involving US more than it should be

[RachelScott-zy]

The only money running out is social security benefits for American citizens. Wow

[hpotter]

Every US taxpayer is working 4 months of every year to sustain foreign governments, because the money sure ain’t getting used here.

[timwiechmann]

The US has no money to give. We can’t even take care of ourselves

[mikeengelmann]

Quit giving all these other country's billionaires of dollars

[christinelivebird]

Where’s the financial audit of this money???? Anyone who has eyes and ears know what is going on here. This doesn’t serve the US at all

[anthonywillis]

Damn this dude. Keep coming back and sleepy Joe. Keep giving him everything he ask for

[vivM.]

Ever time he come you crap him billion an we cant afford to eat or pay rent..stop

[ChristopherWilsoncroft-hjlp]

Zelensky knows a fool when he sees one. He lives like a King on our dime. Laughing all ofthe way to the bank.

[DeMan]

Ukraine better have a plan to pay all this shit back. Fucking ridiculous.

[louisewoods]

Sounds like he's getting his retirement pay in order

[CoercedJab]

CALL YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT THIS. If their offices had as many calls as this video had comments WE WOULD BE DOING MORE

[juliab]

Whoever's giving $ and weapons to Ukraine needs to stop!
I am an American and I say no more.
We need to do more for the U.S. first!

[spencerathearn]

Zelenskyy begs more than a homeless person

[charleneanderson]

I don't understand why US is sending billions of money to Ukraine and also left a lot of our military supplies in the Ukraine. US has so many people homeless and no food. We should take care of our own first

[davidscott]

When was the last time Ukraine had a democratic election?

[mklover]

Why isn’t the legislature in charge of the purse strings stopping this? Too many RINOs

[go]

nothing will change unless we the people make them (:

[JohnSmith-cfgn]

Let me get this straight, we are trillions in debt but we can give away billions???? Something stinks here. 🙄😝
