Ukrainians React To Passage Of U.S. Military Aid

Ukrainians welcomed news that the U.S. House of Representatives had passed a long-delayed aid bill critical to Ukraine's defense against Russia’s ongoing invasion. Speaking to RFE/RL on April 21, many Kyiv residents said the $61 billion package could help slow advancing Russian forces.

They are, go look at the numbers. In their collective entirety, they don't have the US level of economic wealth. Many European nations have given much more than the US in terms of percentage of what they have, and their GDP...a few have given basically everything they have in whole sectors of their military capability. We have given less than 5%, and it sickens me, frankly. Go look at the numbers and you will see what I am telling you. There are bubble charts on the web that show the overall amounts, and relative amounts to GDP. By that metric we are near the bottom. Since we have to police the world, we obviously cannot give away a large part of our capability, but we could go a bit above 3-5%, depending on who you listen to, to take down our number two adversary for the next half to full decade.

This bill is a loan of the US, so if Trump becomes president they would've to pay it back. The support of the US has been awful. They even have a gdp of 10 trillion more than the EU, so they should give almost double what the EU gives. Who's gonna pick up the loan when it's due?

President Trump is NOT "pro-Moscow." He has denounced the invasion of Ukraine - even though the mainstream media failed to report on his denunciation. The invasion did NOT happen while he was President, because he had privately warned Putler off of any such effort. It was only when Pres. Biden displayed incredible weakness in the exit from Afghanistan that Putler thought that he could launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and get away with it. Also, Pres. Trump gave Speaker Johnson a green light to proceed with the Ukraine aid package. Even as MTG exploded in anger against Speaker Johnson, Pres. Trump expressed 100% support for the Speaker. You can tag MTG as "pro-Moscow," but not Pres. Trump. He has gotten wise to Putler over the last 2.2 years.

Democrats have been begging to pass this aid for almost 7 months. We were so desperate, we were ready to pass an extreme strict border bill! Ukraine has vast popular support in the United States.

I have a question to each Ukrainian if you ever met Margine Taylor Green what would you say to her or call her

[@__________________________Fred]

This will help nobody and change nothing. You know what would help? Actually signing the peace treaty for once and start doing actual diplomacy instead of being a piggy bank for corrupt politicians from all around the globe.

[@__________________________Fred]

There also never was an advantage. I don't know what they guy was talking about. Have people actually looked at the dynamic of the shifting front? It only goes one way.

[@MrJdsenior]

Thanks for your input Russian bot, I'm sure everyone reading that will give it the consideration it deserves. You know, there's the little matter of the 4-7 million the Russians starved to death in Ukraine the last go round. And that was just the start. I suggest you read a bit of history, assuming you can, and are even a person.

[@__________________________Fred]

​@@MrJdsenior I am neither for Ukrain nor for russia. Both countries are corrupt beyond all redemption. Though none of the propaganda you consume changes anything, does it? Ukrain is still losing ground!? Maybe if zalensky wasn't controlled by the USA he would have signed that peace treaty to at least draw a line. Now that theoretical line gets pushed back further and further every day. And every day the hell at the front lines continues. That Russia fell into Ukrain was wrong but it's a FACT that Ukrain and the USA failed spectacularly at dealing with russia. You are not wrong for being for ukrain but nobody is being helped by prolonging this war, except Russia. These people are being sacrificed ONLY to save the interests of the 1%. *Don't get it wrong.* Also dealing with russia is not a game. Since you talk about history, how about you check up on the history of ww2? You know? Where they also lost a lot of people and still came up on top, while they were even worse equiped back then in comparrisson to now? Of course they throw all the s*** at you but obviously it works? Ethics aside. If you're not for peace then you're for death. If you were on the front lines then you would wish for peace the very second the first bullet comes flying. Not matter which side you're on.

Take care of AMERICA FIRST.

[@Lightscribe225]

This is taking care of America first. It costs more to.destroy expired munitions than to ship it to Ukraine where it can be fired at Russia for a fraction of the expense. Meanwhile that money going into the aid bill pays for Americans to restock the supply with fresh munitions, pumping money back into the economy. You would know this if you knew how to read.

Im American, and I agree they are right to be upset. the aid should have come months ago. We promised them and we have to see this through till russia is defeated

[@TMGeewizz]

Expect! Typical old Soviet style thinking. Ukraine was not a friend to the US until Russia invaded. There was not one word of thanks in this video for all the money we US taxpayers have already given. This is a European matter but no Ukrainian ever says they expect money from European countries. Ukraine had years to develop a friendship with the US after Russia seized Crimea knowing that Russia would come for more but Ukraine chose to isolate itself from the US. But now Ukraine has an entitled attitude of expectance. Ukraine has made itself into a pitiful joke.

[@tombeers3489]

At the urging of the U.S. and Russia, Ukraine agreed to give up its nukes after the fall of the Soviet Union. The U.S. promised to provide security for Ukraine. Russia knew this wouldn't include NATO. Do you think Russia would have ever invaded Ukraine if they still had their nukes?

[@magicmerlin1]

Yep 1994 Budapest memorandum. Also ukraine has been a friend and partner to the US. Although they tried to remain a neutral independent country to keep from pissing putler off but you see what that got them, Invaded!

[@NekorektniPochybovac-or8bi]

Being a Ukrainian respondent, I would probably spit on such help. The deal was clear: Ukrainian lives and territory - Western supplies - maintaining the war in Ukraine. The West just proves how unreliable and selfish a partner it is. Why does he promise aid when he delivers it so that Ukraine bleeds as much as possible? It's disgusting to watch us behave like this. So what do we want? Get rid of the threat of Russia or let it all fight among themselves? Let's just say it straight while we're at it.

[@cutesta0079]

No disrespect...but seeing the US are the largest donors of aid to Ukraine and it means so little to you, is short sighted and sounds a bit selfish. The US like all other democratic countries need bi-partisan support in the government to pass bills for aid that goes to Ukraine or any other country that might need aid. As much as I can understand the urgency and frustration by those needing the aid, but just pinning the blame on the West is wrong, bunching countries as an - Us and Them - Just like Putin does, are words of division. I wish for Victory to Ukraine and peace to all the good Ukrainian people, and peace to you.

[@phillee2814]

@@cutesta0079 The US trails far behind a number of European nations in terms of aid/GDP. The US had bipartisan support long ago but one person blocked it, on the instruction of a criminal of low intelligence who does not hold any elected office, and if the US electorate has any collective intelligence, never will again.
