- April 20 marked the end of a months-long struggle in the U.S. Congress to pass a $95 billion foreign aid package, which included $61 billion in aid for Ukraine. The bill was approved in the Senate yesterday and then sent to President Biden to be signed into law, with weapons and equipment expected to start arriving in Ukraine by the end of this week.
The Kyiv Independent’s Anna Belokur breaks down the contents of the aid package and what it will mean for Ukraine, both on the battlefield and at home.
As an American I'm glad the legislation passed. As an American I am FURIOUS that it took so long.
Slava Ukraini!!
As a fellow American, I AGREE!
Heroyam Slava !!
I'm furious it passed! Why prolong an unwinable war? Why sponsor the death of hundreds of thousands more Ukrainians? Why not pursue peace instead? Why has our government learned nothing from the failures of the Iraq and Afghan Wars? Why is it instead repeating them by prolonging yet another forever war? Even if as Mike Johnson says that this war is different since it is Ukraine who is supplying the bodies and not us. What could we have done here at home with $60B dollars?
I'm furious that it passed. Why send even more Ukrainians to certain death in a lost cause? Why not peace instead? After all, most experts continue to say that the war will end in negotiations. Why not have those negotiations now?
@@michaelwilson9921 Lost cause? Certain death? WoW that's some propaganda level BS right there. If these are your actual thoughts I feel bad for you, if you're just reading from a script, I still feel bad for you lol. How about Russia goes back to Russia and stops killing it's neighbors kthxbai.
@@michaelwilson9921 You should write that on Putin's yt channel ?!? No ?
Great news. Well done US Senate.
God bless Ukraine.
Thank you for support!
❤❤❤ Ukraine 🇺🇦 from USA California
After 3 months in Ukraine, I left Ukraine 9 days before… I miss this country so much 😢 I will come in some weeks again Ukraine 🇩🇪😘🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
As a republican I’m grateful and thankful that many in Congress passed the critical aid for Ukraine 🇺🇦.
However; I’m absolutely disgusted with the republicans who played this freaking circus for six months while both 🇺🇦 defenders and civilians suffered and died. I’m so sorry Ukraine for the absolute stupidity of some moronic idiots in my government 🇺🇸.
I know most 🇺🇸 citizens do and have supported 🇺🇦 from the start of this freaking war.
I pray this aid gets to the frontlines fast and I know the courageous and awesome Defenders will make good use of all the “tools” as they have proven again and again.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🌻❤️ Heroyam Slava🌻🇺🇦❤️ Eternal Strength and Glory to all who defend Ukraini.🌻🌻🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️
They all know Ukraine cannot win because they don’t have enough manpower
The key to liberating Ukraine is for the free and brave people around the globe to cooperate!
We will continue providing aid till it is enough
Yes 🇺🇲 we will.
I am sure that the US aid will make a significant difference on the battlefield.
It certainly will, just like the last 380 billion. It only costs around 100 billion per 100,000 dead ukrainians.
God bless Ukraine!
Good Bless for everyone in Ukraine....❤ (Zivilisten, Military Ukr and Rus) .
All Military-People >> Please go Home and the war ends! Together 🫂🕊💓
Small comment: It didn't turn it into a bipartisan issue, rather it turned it into a polarized issue. Bipartisanship was needed to overcome this polarization- which is so rare in US politics since 2010.
🇸🇪💞🇺🇦
Use it wisely 🇺🇸🇺🇦👍
Key is that munitions from Ukraine is coming from pre-existing, pre-positioned stockpiles in Europe; With the United States being the global master of war-fighting logistics, here's hoping those stockpiles were at well over 100%... the replenishment "pipeline" can safely take a little more time... as Ukrainians do the tough stuff. Poland has proven a useful parking lot/marshaling area.
President Biden is truly an American Hero 🇺🇸❤️
Denys Davdov can't be Ukrainian? My daughters not as sensitive as him. Stay safe. God Bless Ukraine🙏
61 billion in equipment not money. Mostly
I few things i feel like i need to say. First thing, i am a huge Ukraine supporter. Like many i had no interests or knowledge about Ukraine previous to the war, but seeing what Russia has done and how the Ukrainian people have stood up to protect their country inspired me like many. I'm grateful and happy the bill passed and the men and women who need help will get it. The issue i have is people who seem to attack my country unfairly for the way our process works it is slow sometimes, and people abuse their power in congress to block things but we are the most generous country that has ever existed and i'm proud of that. So it sucks to see when we are giving so much to a place and people seem either ungrateful or even resentful against us for this not passing in the time they wanted, i understand the frustration but don't be mad at us , be mad at the russian government for starting and causing this mess, not the people trying to help .
When the kremlin infiltrates the Whitehouse and the American people allow racist, sexist, bigoted orange men to make decisions about our safety, then we DESERVE criticism. I am just happy we finally got it right this go-round.
That’s how it goes for us. People ask us for stuff while talking bad about us. Just gotta let it go at this point.
There are many that are going to criticize the US no matter what they do. That's just the way it is. But this is not someone complaining because their meal is undercooked. The delay actually costs lives and territory in Ukraine.
The legislative process in the US has always been slow and cumbersome. But there are ways to expedite things that are important.
The problem here is that we have some anti-democratic. Anti-government manga Republicans who use their narrow majority to delay The proceedings.
Biden 2024
I get it , but people familiar with the area and it’s history understood that when clinton forced unilateral disarmament upon Ukraine , wildly in favour of its genocidal historical enemy , that the war we are now witness to would inevitably come . Every step between then and the present that america might have taken to help were not taken . Georgia invasion in ‘08 , and the initial invasion and occupation of Ukrainian land in ‘14 , come to mind . Every request for weapons by Ukraine was turned down but one , and washington’s response to the invasion of Ukraine was that Ukraine should give up whatever rusha takes . I could go on in much greater detail at length , but even if things work out for Ukraine, america will not look good in this episode of history. Ask yourself how many tens of thousands have died or been horrendously crippled while america put on a political clown show that truly makes your politicians seem like deranged , malignant children . Maybe while you ponder that you’ll arrive at some understanding why so many are so disgusted with america . The weapons requested had been gathering dust for decades as they grew increasingly obsolete and in some cases , giving them to Ukraine was cheaper than disposing of them in a legal manner … etc.
It was not a months long struggle, it was a six month struggle. Really?
We all need to do as much as we possibly can to work for Ukraine and against Russia and their allies. Start by being conscious in your spending and avoid companies doing business with Russia, and products from countries supporting Russia.
No
Hahaha, sure they will
more like 6 months

UPA commander's order of April 6, 1944 stated:
"Fight them [the Poles] unmercifully. No one is to be spared, even in case of mixed marriages".
Timothy Snyder describes the murders:
"Ukrainian partisans burned homes, shot or forced back inside those who tried to flee, and used sickles and pitchforks to kill those they captured outside. In some cases beheaded, crucified, dismembered or disemboweled bodies were displayed, in order to encourage remaining Poles to flee"
A similar account has been presented by Niall Ferguson, who wrote:
"Whole villages were wiped out, men beated to death, women raped and mutilated, babies bayoneted"
Can we just say how pathetic it is though that Russia couldn’t defeat Ukraine the first week and couldn’t gain a bigger initiative while the U.S. was out for 6 months? Like, they took some ground, but barely anything against a military that is, theoretically, significantly weaker than them. It shows both how well Ukraine has adapted to the war as well as how horribly managed the Russian military is
What ? The US itself couldn’t defeat afghan Talibans in 20 years , what are you talking about dude 😂 do you even understand war
Stay strong,Slava Ukraine!
Change Absolutely nothing
Umm, something an imbecile would say?
Don't give up hope our military is not dumb enough to announce all this aid if enough of it wasn't already there. If Russia thinks it has a window of attack they will be devastated because if I am correct Ukraine already has what it needs to hand russia huge losses they might even run into the infamous F-16S. Slava Ukraine and Good luck to the great people of Ukraine.
We the Americans don’t actually agree on it , most Americans are actually against this because we Aldo have problems at home
👆100% NOT TRUE 😂
...here come the "American" bots 😜
The real issue is not understanding the nature of democracy. You can't say we will ALWAYS be with you and actually mean it. There is always opposition regardless of the issue. Therefore, you have to plan for the worse case. That is where Biden failed miserably. He could have had much bigger packages approved early on when the Dems controlled both houses. Using residue money for a 'rainy day'. Instead, he did this one painful bit at a time. Right now, they need to be planning for the next package and put that in the budget for fiscal 2025 which begins in Oct of 24. That means in the "worst case' if Donald Trump is elected than during the lame duck congress in December, they have a good chance of passing the bill with a substantial majority while Biden is still in office (until Jan 20 of 2025). However, politicians in a democracy, (and it doesn't matter what democracy in Europe or North America) will always wait until the last minute and be the cause of very avoidable crisis. BTW, Europe still has not woken up fully to the realization that time is of the essence... lots of words to that effect, while the painfully slow-moving European bureaucracy is feeling no urgency from its political masters.
Agree , unfortunately…
Why UATV English can’t speak English as good as this channel, or Kyiv Post ?
How many languages do you speak?
@@florinadrian5174Why does it matter? These people’s job is passing information, and you want the info to get into audience’s ears as easily as possible. BTW, I’ve mastered 2 languages at native speaker’s level and I’m NOT language or journalism major, but that’s NOT the point here just to answer your question out of respect.
@@MistyRiley308 Good for you.
Here is why there is a difference in the language level of the various channels promoting Ukrainian struggle: unlike a normal country in a peaceful situation, Ukraine is in a deep crisis, the likes of which we in the West don't really comprehend and it's all hands on deck. And not all hands are equal. The perfection of the language skills and many other aspects, are secondary to helping out.
I'm grateful for whatever information I get from them and I find their accent and linguistic quirks more charming than annoying.
@@florinadrian5174 I wasn't pointing on certain individual's English level, it's whole channel wide, overall English level and quality of information. Also, Kyiv Independent and Kyiv Post are operating inside Ukraine too, why there are such differences? It's not about perfection of language skill, it's about getting info fast, accurate and easy. I used to watch UATV English in the beginning of the war, but quit after a short while because I don't want to read subtitle all the time. Glad I can get the news from somewhere else.
@@MistyRiley308 I see.
It's actually a good question because UATV is a state channel while the others are independent journalists. Maybe the state pays poorly? Maybe their employees are inherited from the old state media going back to Soviet times and the promotions are done on, erm, different criteria?
The more interesting difference is that Kyiv Independent is much more critical of the local government. As they should be.
Young Ukrainians men dying for useless old men..RIP😢😢
500k Russians already died for the ruthless dictator Putin
Sleepy old joe keeps signing what he doesn't know
He knows 👍
🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Putler? Got it.
@@LisaNH934Ukraine is fiction. Ukraine as a state was invented by the Germans to prevent the rebirth of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which was erased from the map of the world by the Germans (Austria, Prussia) & Catherine (German Tsarina of Russia), in cooperation with Kosher Nostra and corrupt magnates in the 18th century.
And when their "hero" Bandera was no longer needed, the Germans threw him in prison.

So wait all of Europe couldn’t match Russia in fire power?
Short answer no. And they all would be afraid to act independently. With good reason. I credit Biden for keeping NATO relevant.
@@nnonotnow They seem useless lol
amazing that no Donbas people want to be back in Ukraine.
Don't trust America 😅😅😅😅
Angry troll😢 best troll😂
Dont trust ruzzia? Got it.
Nazis Ukraine already defeated 😂😂😂😂😂

A loser backing a loser. Standard 2024 nonsense.
🇷🇺🇷🇺Russia won 💪💪💪
Yeah they won alright the body bag race 500k dead orcs and counting and all the mothers of Russia get is a sack of Putin potatoes
Ukraine is never the actual country.
Thanks for the input Vladimir
According to USSR it's been independent for 100 years
Oh look, a moron...
Does your statement mean anything?
Your english is never an actual language, orcbot.
It won’t make a difference. Ukraine has already lost.
ruzzia bot says wot? lol
that is probably why russia did nuclear threat again, they are more concerned than random russian bots it seems.
You're so right. Should be over in just another 3 days !! Right comrade?
@@duckcensorship7446 oh yes, because everyone who has a different opinion is a russian bot. Now that’s original.
@user-xv4id9xx7u this is my favorite new bot tactic. You try to make people feel stupid for calling out an obvious bot. But the only thing it shows us is that you are a bot too.
Nah you stole that intro song I’ve heard it before on another channel
