The Biden administration has announced almost $3 billion in additional aid to Ukraine alongside a shift toward supporting the Ukrainian war against Russia long-term.
The latest announcement came on Wednesday just weeks after the Pentagon sent what was its largest package so far to Ukraine, a $1 billion injection of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, among other things.
The US and Ukraine have both expressed concerns that Russia will ramp up its attacks on civilian infrastructure and government buildings in the near future. The US Embassy in Kyiv has urged any Americans still in Ukraine to leave immediately.

PBS reports: In a statement, Biden said the aid will allow Ukraine to acquire air defense systems, artillery systems and munitions, drones and other equipment “to ensure it can continue to defend itself over the long term.”
The announcement comes as Ukraine is celebrating its 1991 declaration of independence from the Soviet Union.
“I know this independence day is bittersweet for many Ukrainians as thousands have been killed or wounded, millions have been displaced from their homes, and so many others have fallen victim to Russian atrocities and attacks,” Biden said. “But six months of relentless attacks have only strengthened Ukrainians’ pride in themselves, in their country, and in their thirty-one years of independence.”
The aid package is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which funds contracts to purchase weapons and equipment. It includes money for the small, hand-launched Puma drones, equipment for the longer-endurance Scan Eagle surveillance drones, which are launched by catapult, and, for the first time, the Vampire anti-drone system, which can be launched off ships.
In addition there is money for six advanced surface-to-air missile systems, known as NASAMS, munitions for them, 24 counter-artillery radars, precision rocket systems, and more than 300,000 rounds of artillery and mortar ammunition.
As Russia’s war on Ukraine drags on, U.S. security assistance is shifting to a longer-term campaign that also will likely keep more American military troops in Europe into the future, U.S. officials said.

95% is being kicked back right into Biden and friend’s bank accounts.
how is this allowed to happen?
we need to rise up now, our country is being fleeced.
Exactly. Very little of this is going to help any ordinary ukrainian people. Just more Biden grift.
cccccccccc
Kiev was the russian capital city .it is russian .They’re liars .And theres no way Zelesky won the election when ukraine has about 2 or 3 %jews They arent popular there .They don’t live there.
International observers stated Zelensky won with a landslide of 70% of the vote. He ran on a popular platform or rapprochement with Moscow and the breakaway republics and de-militarization. Once elected the Nazis in Ukrine and Washington put a gun to his head. He’s all in with it now of course, he’s likely a billionaire and is a rock-star figure to western fans.
The money laundering operation continues for Joe’s mafia crime family. Zelensky and his buddies are reaping large sums of money from this scam as well. Plus the weapons that are sent over seem to disappear. It is a shame that people are still buying into this phony war.
And $300 Billions for votes in November.
Just another moronic step by Biden to have China supply weapons to Russia and the Biden administration will just sit on their thumbs.
NO!

Relating to Violations of the United States Constitution
PUBLIC DEBT
WE THE FREE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, by and through the Unalienable, Individual Rights Guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for the United States of America, hereby Petition the President of the United States and the members of the House of Representatives and Senate of the United States Congress for
Redress of our Grievances, to Honor their Oaths or Affirmations of Office and their Constitutional Obligations by responding to this Petition within forty (40) days, providing a formal acknowledgement of its receipt with a rebuttal of its legal arguments and statement of facts, or demonstrating a good faith effort to comply with its remedial instructions.
WHEREAS, by the terms and conditions of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution for the United States of America, We the People have expressly established a Republican Form of Government, empowering it to act only in certain ways, while purposely and patently restricting and prohibiting it from acting in certain other ways without Amendment, and
WHEREAS, the public debt is having a devastating, adverse impact on America’s economy and is contributing to the pauperization of Her People, and; WHEREAS, We the People are Entitled, By Right, to public debt that is Constitutionally valid, and;
WHEREAS, a portion of the debt of the United States was incurred in violation of the principle of Enumerated Powers, and in violation of Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 and Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution for the United States of America, and
WHEREAS, the First and Ninth Amendments to the Bill of Rights Guarantees to every American the Unalienable Right to hold the government (public servants) accountable to each and every principle, prohibition, restriction and mandate of the Declaration of Independence And Constitution for the United States of America, NOW THEREFORE:
WE THE PEOPLE hereby seek the following Remedies and Instruct the President and the members of Congress to respond to this First Amendment Petition for Redress of Grievances as follows:
1. Within forty (40) days following the service of this First Amendment Petition for Redress, the Congress of the United States, in the exercise of its power authorized by Article I, Section 7, Clause 1 of the Constitution for the United States of America, to originate “all bills for raising Revenue” and in the exercise of its power authorized by Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution for the United States of America “To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts…,” and in recognition of the prohibition in Article I, Section 9, Clause 6 of the Constitution for the United States of America that “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law,” and in recognition of the principle of “Enumerated Powers,” shall enact a statute:
(a) establishing a National Advisory Commission on the validity of the Public Debt,
and;
(b) calling upon each of the several States to establish their own State Advisory Commission on the validity of the Public Debt, and;
2. That the sole purpose of the said Advisory Commissions shall be to study, determine and quantify which part of the public debt is void and/or voidable under two principles of law, namely:
(i) Under the doctrine of the Supreme Court’s decision in Craig v. Missouri, 29 U.S. (4 Peters) 410 (1830), all contracts, agreements, or other arrangements in which any part of the consideration consists or consisted of the emission of unconstitutional “bills of credit” through or under the auspices of any Federal Reserve Bank, “member bank,” or “depositary institution” within the (privately owned) Federal Reserve System are void ab initio and unenforceable in any court of Law of the United States or of any State, and;
(ii) All alleged “public debts” of the United States, howsoever made and in whatever form, that have been incurred for the purpose of raising revenue to be expended from the general fund of the Treasury in payment of costs arising under a particular budget of the United States are void ab initio and unenforceable in any court of Law in the United States or of any State in the same percentage that the Unconstitutional programs, activities, or expenditures in that budget bear to the total programs, activities, or expenditures therein.
Furthermore, every lender is legally presumed to know, and must bear full and individual responsibility for, prior to such lending, having performed adequate due diligence and challenging, where appropriate, the intended use of such funds and the Constitutional limits regarding the bona fide, lawful expenditures of money the general government borrows, to the same extent that every official of such government knows and is bound by Law and the Constitution to those same limitations and restrictions of public use, and;
Specially, if a lender extends a loan to public officials, knowing that his loan will be used for Unconstitutional purposes, or with willful blindness, reckless disregard or negligence regarding the Unconstitutionality of those purposes, the lender has thereby established himself as a participant in a fraud against the American People.
For the repayment of the fraudulent portions of such loans, there is NO LAWFUL RECOURSE and the American People cannot be held liable for such repayment in any court of Law.
3. That said Advisory Commission shall be made up of persons selected by a Committee composed of: Dr. Edwin Vieira, Dr. Lawrence M. Parks, Judge Andrew Napolitano, G. Edward Griffin, Ronald Mann and William Bergman, and;
4. That, within ninety (90) days from the effective date of the said statute, the National Advisory Commission shall submit to Congress a report containing complete and specific drafts of all such legislation as may be necessary and proper for Congress to enact in order to achieve the goals set out in Paragraph 2, ante, for the Government of the United States, and;
5. That, within sixty (60) days of its receipt of the National Advisory Commission’s report pursuant to Paragraph 5, ante, Congress shall enact such legislation as will achieve the goals set out in Paragraph 2, ante, for the Government of the United States, and;
6. The President shall cooperate with and assist the Congress and the National Advisory
Commission in the performance of Paragraphs 1-5 above.
