The United States continues to provide material and technical support to Ukraine. On May 19, 2022, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that the U.S. President had approved another $100 billion military aid package for Ukraine. However, yesterday the U.S. Senate approved $40 billion so far. Of this amount, $19.7 billion will go to arm the AFU, $8.8 billion for economic recovery, and $4.35 billion for food and various humanitarian issues.
It may be noted that this is already the tenth American package of military assistance to Ukraine since August 2021. The total amount of American military aid officially allocated to Kyiv since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine has now reached $3.9 billion, and since March 2021 – about $4.6 billion. This is only the official part, also these figures do not take into account the unofficial part of the expenses and the expenses that went into the pockets of companies that are involved in the production of weapons.
The U.S. Department of Defense reported that the newly approved $100 billion military aid package includes supplies intended “to meet Ukraine’s critical needs during the current hostilities as Russian forces continue their offensive in eastern Ukraine.
When it comes to total Western aid to Ukraine, the amount will exceed $100 billion. This is approximately 100% of Ukraine’s entire economy. From January to May 2022, 36 Western countries donated $65.5 billion in aid to Ukraine: $34.7 billion for arms, $18.5 billion for the economy, and $12.5 billion for humanitarian purposes. Countries and organizations donated different amounts of money:
- U.S. – $43 billion,
- Britain – $4.8 billion,
- The European Commission – $4.1 billion,
- Poland – $2.6 billion,
- Germany, $2.35 billion,
- France – $2.1 billion,
- Canada – $2 billion,
- Italy – $0.48 billion,
- Norway, $0.32 billion,
- Sweden and Japan $0.29 billion each.
The largest part of the latest U.S. aid package is armaments. The announced delivery will include 18 M777 towed 155 mm howitzers and 18 prime movers for them, three AN/TPQ-36 artillery position detection radar stations, field equipment, and spare parts.
Earlier in April and early May, in previous aid packages, the United States had already provided Ukraine with a variety of equipment. The previous deliveries included 90 M777 155mm/39 howitzers, 72 Oshkosh FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles) M1083 prime movers for them, and 209 thousand artillery shells for them. Now the total number of howitzers M777 and 90 Oshkosh FMTV M1083 prime movers to be transferred by the US to the Ukrainian side will reach 108. It is also said to be working on providing Ukraine with long-range anti-ship missiles.
This time the U.S. Senate and the president of the U.S. decided on the financing of Ukraine rather quickly. Although the project, which was earlier approved in the U.S. to provide 40 billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine, was discussed for a very long time and caused lively discussions in the Senate. Based on this, U.S. politicians are increasingly starting to agree that Ukraine needs military aid. Most likely, future U.S. financial projects for Ukraine will no longer take time and will be accepted even faster.
The Pentagon confirmed the information about the provision of military assistance and published a list of the equipment to be provided. The shipment of these weapons will be made soon. The new U.S. military aid package to Ukraine includes:
- 36 counter-battery radars.
- 18 155mm howitzers.
- 18 tactical vehicles.
U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said that Ukraine will soon be provided with additional assistance. According to Blinken, the United States will provide $215 million in food aid. In turn, representatives of the EU, the U.S., and Canada say they will help Ukraine remove tens of millions of tons of grain from its territory.
Most of the agricultural products are exported through the sea. In this light, the U.S. is considering supplying Ukraine with advanced Harpoon and NSM anti-ship missile systems to fight the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet. The U.S. White House, according to some officials, is working on supplying modern anti-ship missiles to the Ukrainian armed forces to help overcome the Russian naval blockade, amid fears that more powerful weapons, which can sink Russian warships, will only escalate the confrontation.
Therefore, this issue has two sides: on the one hand, Ukraine does not want to provoke Russia to increase its military might in the Black Sea, and on the other hand, it needs to restore grain supplies. Ukraine has made no secret of its need for more advanced American capabilities, in addition to the artillery pieces, Javelin and Stinger missiles, and other weapons it receives. Among other things, Kyiv’s wish list includes missiles that could push the Russian Navy away from Ukrainian Black Sea ports, thereby allowing it to resume shipments of grain and other agricultural products for delivery around the world.
U.S. military assistance to Ukraine would prolong the conflict indefinitely in the long run. However, it remains to be seen when Western countries will feel the lack of money and begin to refuse further aid to Ukraine.
10s if billions in foreign aid while our gas is getting over $5 per gallon, our government in America sucks.
Our people suck for electing 2 BS war mongering parties that don’t help the avg American.
“A two party system where corporate interests fund the campaigns of both sides so they get their man no matter who is elected then the same corporate interests lobbyists write the bills the politicians they own table in congress.
These same corporate interests hire ex politicians, military and influential state employees to fat consulting jobs and board appointments.”
If you read that you’d think we were talking about some corrupt South American dictatorship shithole wouldn’t you?
Look forward to $10 a gallon petrol as the Jews siphon every drop of deadbeat US blood and money for their agenda. The petrol stations in California and NY are already programming their pumps for $10 a gallon prices.
A national gas station chain is reprogramming its pumps in Washington state, California and New York to accommodate the possibility of $10-a-gallon gasoline
What a bunch of waste money!!!
All this money is not helping the Ukis much:
Update – There is a growing risk that #Russian forces around Popasna are gaining momentum against #Ukrainian defenders in the area. Today #Russia captured Nova Kamyanka, Stryapivka, Volodymyrivka, Trypillya & Druzhba to the W and Troitske to the S of the city.
The ruble under 60 to the dollar today. Up from 72 pre invasion.
I guess Biden’s ruble is now rubble comment was inaccurate. I wonder if he’ll admit he made a mistake and apologize.
These past seven weeks have been the longest down-streak for US markets since 2001, Biden needs to publicly apologize to the Russian people and beg them to lend the US some economists. I’m not sure if American leadership of both parties is in complete denial or criminally negligent in their handling of the issues facing the economy. They need to stop aiming for a soft landing and implement Volcker solutions right now, ~20% interest rates no matter the consequences. Of course they have been kicking the can down the road with elections coming up though. I read the other day that some regions of America are even having trouble sourcing baby formula, what a mess.
I know, my rrsp tanked 10% this quarter.
I don’t think interest rate raising is the best way to lower inflation. Buying oil from Iran and Russia would be more helpful. Not to mention fertilizer and wheat from the Russkies as well. I’d guess supply demand has more influence on price then this money supply stuff.
I agree that those things would also help, my remaining family ranches in rural Montana and have been telling me the absurd diesel and fertilizer prices. US could also stop trying to overthrow the people of Venezuela’s government and import oil from a closer source. My thoughts on raising the interest rates have more to do with all the free stimulus money injected with COVID measures. The sanctions and their blowback are just compounding on those mistakes.
In fact, the growth started after March 11, when $ 1 cost 120 rubles.
I urge all Ukrainian military men to hand weapons over to Russia as soon as they get a chance to surrender. It’s better to be alive in a Russian POW camp then fighting for a Jew.
The WEST loves to make promises but it NEVER delivers !!! This is all just talk to keep Ukraine’s hopes up in order to keep this proxy war going !! They will get maybe 1/10yj of that !! It takes very long time to deliver this plus training, maintenance, on going ammunition supply etc !! How they plan getting it to the front lines, Russia controls the sky and the infrastructure is destroyed !! This is very bad for Ukraine if they believe in it !!!
amerikan morons spent 4 trillion$ to be sodomized by taliban; the stupefied chimps cannot learn
The Jew war on Russia is having a disastrous impact in the deadbeat US economy directly, the defeat in Afghanistan was mostly far away and hidden from prying eyes. The poverty, crime, gun violence and mass homelessness in the mean streets of America simply now can not be hidden. Like Rome, US is burning while a senile 80 year old in diapers is sending billions to a lost Nazi cause in Russian Ukraine.
The stupid hohols are being used by the kikes, they are now flying the ugly star of David and repulsive Ukrainian flags together. This is a Jew war on Slavs, nothing else.
R. I . P RUSSIA
News flash, russia is winning. If you call 2$/L gas winning, your stupid.
P@ssi Putin has only embolden the WEST to flood Ukraine with advance weapons despite Russia’s bluster. When it comes on to Russia, there are no red lines and Putin’s a coward.
Oskosh vs Tatra. Tatara win. oskosh = Bullshit
Russia is keeping US busy in Ukraine while – China is preparing for “D-Day” INVASION of the continental United States, with forces to land on the beaches of California, as Biden and Newsom serve as China’s accomplices – by Mike Adams at naturalnews.com and a video by Mike Adams – Leaked Audio Exposes China’s War Plans – at banned.video It seems China is using Russia to dominate the world but what happens to Russia after China gets what it wants?
Waste no time anytime, just destroy Ukraine’s economy,
bomb paddy field, grain field, make sure some chemical dispersed from the air such that large piece of land become not suitable for farming for the long term,
bomb financial center, major infrastructure to support the economy,
bomb electricity exchange, highways,
bomb essential commercial district
block sea export venue for Ukraine goods and services.
Drag on this tactic, and see how long the world’s number one evil-doer US can support.
Was a direct order for Vladimir Putin?
USA should appoint morons like Sawyer and jens to be ministers of military, dept of state—the idiots waste money lose wars and fail everywhere—senility, lgbt values and mental illness expected in the rotten dying nation—disunited snakes
You don’t sound too happy for the Russian victory in Ukraine
“They got money for war but can’t feed the poor.” -Tupac Shakur
heartless, soulless Jews control US and they could care a less about US ghetto poor and trailer trash. Jew agenda is one dimensional plunder of the dumbass goyim.
France, 2 100 000 000€ so 32 euros from me. I should send a 32€-paycheck to Russia as well, I think they will produce more with these.
I am also French, Greece also took a lot from us, more than 70 euros per French and that did not help the country in any way, all the money was in the pockets of the government and the rich
France is unable to find 200 million for our 6,000 bridges which need emergency repairs but finds billions for Ukraine and tens of billions for foreigners
Indeed, we are becoming a Third-world state
Gee will the Pentacon mobsters have enough scrap left at home in Slumville USSA when the civil war reloaded kicks off in the coming months? As for the EUSSR Pedovore Politburo, their covaid$ death squirt doesn’t seem to have killed enough of their sheeple so they are taunting Mr Bear to get some heads ripped off.
Onward ever faster to the total destruction of the anglZionaZi empire of shit.
How much money will be enough to be given as an aid, in order Ukraine to win? $10 Trillion maybe?
Biden, Pelosi, Hillary, Austin, Miley, state dept. and all the other un Americans politicians who are for Ukraine are not doing this for the freedom of nor the defense of and NOT with the will of the American people. All the money Biden and gang are stealing from Americans and sending. Its to keep the deep state prop up and operational, for bribery, kick backs and pay outs.
All they want is to stop Putin from exposing them and what really going on in Ukraine. To keep people eyes off the fake pandemic and the deadly to human’s vaccines they trying to force everyone to get and the American’s people from the “2000 Mules” movie showing how stolen election Biden and gang won 2020.

The BBC in London reporting today the the British government minister Liz Truss wants to arm Moldova to what she calls a Nato standard. Looks like the Anglo American banking cartel want all of Europe engaged in a major conflict. Military alliance’s are Not good for any nation. They are trying to drag Moldova into their war as they have in Ukraine
It’s funny that US senator said this amounts of money US must borrow from China.
MIssion creep and mass extinction
Let’s not forget. The US is fighting for the survival of the petrodollar.
This looks a lot like mission creep. The world will learn the hard way that a nuclear strike on a nuclear power facility is a mass extinction event.
The Putin cockroaches have already switched to defensive positions. Putin the terrorist cockroach is now praying to his mythic Norse god that his shitty laser beams can somehow change the tide of war and won’t make him look like the biggest military amateur of the century.
Soon as the Port of Odessa gets hit in it’s cargo handling facilities the plan goes up in smoke.

Democrats need billions of black money to finance voting mules this Autumn – otherwise they will lose terribly.
Russian capitalists cannot produce weapons. I can’t make drones, I can’t make tanks.
They are like the capitalists of the tsarist empire, poor in industry and without any structure.
Luckily they have tanks and equipment from the communists.
The communists produced 200,000 tanks and 500,000 planes in the war. Russian capitalists produce 0 tanks and 0 planes.
