The U.S. will send Ukraine an undisclosed number of medium-range cluster bombs and an array of rockets, artillery and armored vehicles in a military aid package totaling about $375 million, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

Officials expect an announcement on Wednesday, as global leaders meet at the U.N. General Assembly, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy uses his appearance there to shore up support and persuade the U.S. to allow his troops to use long-range weapon s to strike deeper into Russia. The following day, Zelenskyy meets with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington.

    .ml want Ukraine to surrender. That’s pretry much it.

    They don’t care about the people
    They don’t care about the US taxpayer’s money
    They don’t care that the weapon companies profit

    They just want russia to win.

    “Having a discussion” is just smoke and mirrors with them.

      Hey if you care so much about the people of Ukraine why don’t you go over there and fight so they don’t have to be kidnapped off the street and forced to die at the front?

      I don’t care about ML. What I say is that this is NOT HELPING. It’s MAKING A PROFIT on someone in need. Helping would be “I give you the weapons to defend yourself and we will pass the bill to Russia”, not this.

        hence why we keep giving them massive loans. And sending them old equipment from our military, and sharing intelligence with them, and providing public media support for them as well.

        War is more than just capital my friend.

        “I give you the weapons to defend yourself and we will pass the bill to Russia”, not this.

        also this is literally what europe is looking to do with their stockpile of frozen russian assets.
