We are taking this step to ensure this Authority does not expire and the United States can fully utilise the funding appropriated by Congress,
By doing so, the United States will be able to continue to provide a surge in defence articles and services to Ukraine from DoD stocks under planned drawdowns in the weeks and months ahead,
I'm reading President Biden's statement, and I'm seeing that there is a new type of rockets that are being delivered that are longer-range than the previous ones,
The strategic goal that puts Ukraine in the strongest possible position requires to allow them to use the weaponry freely,
That is why, today, I am announcing a surge in security assistance for Ukraine and a series of additional actions to help Ukraine win this war,
I am grateful to the United States for providing the items that are most critical to protecting our people,
We will use this assistance in the most efficient and transparent manner to achieve our major common goal: victory for Ukraine, just and lasting peace, and transatlantic security,
My message is clear: The United States will give Ukraine the support it needs to win this war,
For nearly three years, the United States has rallied the world to stand with the people of Ukraine as they defend their freedom from Russian aggression, and it has been a top priority of my Administration to provide Ukraine with the support it needs to prevail,
Any deal — the worst deal — would’ve been better than what we have now,
Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before,
What deal can we make? It’s demolished,
To enhance Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities, I have decided to provide Ukraine with the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) long-range munition,
To further strengthen Ukraine’s air defences, I have directed the Department of Defense to refurbish and provide Ukraine with an additional Patriot air defence battery and to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot missiles,
As part of this effort, the Department of Defense will allocate the remaining Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funds by the end of this year. I also have authorised US$5.5 billion in Presidential Drawdown Authority to ensure this authority does not expire, so that my Administration can fully utilise the funding appropriated by Congress to support the drawdown of US equipment for Ukraine and then replenish US stockpiles,
Every time Zelensky comes to the United States, he walks away with $100 billion,
We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal, Zelenskiy."
By leveraging the power of AI, we can not only enhance our defense capabilities but also develop dual-use technologies with broader applications for critical national infrastructure. As investors, we are driven by the mission to protect democracies and build resilient infrastructure.”
From what I understand … as long as the White House tells us they’re going to use it, we don’t really have a problem,
They’re going to try to work around it, the administration will, because [the Ukrainians] need the resources right now so they can carry out their ‘Victory Plan’, which I think is tremendously important,
