Reuters wrote right after the aid bill was passed that, "Ukraine's $61 billion lifeline is not enough." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell went on the Sunday shows after the bill was passed to say that $61 billion is "Not a whole lot of money for us" Well, that's easy for him to say - after all it's always easier to spend someone else's money!
Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, was far from grateful for the $170 billion we have shipped thus far to his country.
"If you cannot produce enough interceptors to help Ukraine win the war against the country that wants to destroy the world order, then how are you going to win in the war against perhaps an enemy who is stronger than Russia?".
US military aid to Ukraine has left our own stockpiles of weapons depleted, so the money is going to create new production lines to replace weapons already sent to Ukraine.
President Biden admitted as much when he said, "We are helping Ukraine while at the same time investing in our own industrial base."
Last week news broke that the Ukrainian government was in negotiations with the Biden Administration to sign a ten-year security agreement that would lock in US funding for Ukraine for the next two and a half US Administrations.
The US weapons industry and its cheerleaders in Washington DC are determined to keep Ukraine money flowing until they can figure out a way to gin up a war with China after losing the current war with Russia.
