KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- U.S. officials say the White House is announcing an aid package to Ukraine of $1 billion in lost energy subsidies as it seeks to extract itself from Russia's influence.

There may not be a Ukraine worth giving aid to by the end if the day.

It's more or less their money.

I think that when you are in ridiculous debt, you should not be giving money that you don't have to others.

For that amount we should get the pink slip and allow it to be the 51st state.

What's their cuisine like?

Mostly dirt, mushrooms and whatever the massive packs of wild dogs don't get to first.

If it's anything like the food I had in SW Russia, we don't want them.

I have 2 opinions on it. One one hand I think it is a good move because Russia gave the old Ukrainian government $15 billion (that I assume they have cut the funds off to) loan. The new Ukrainian governments biggest problem is securing itself financially. On the other hand, why are we borrowing a billion dollars to give it to Ukraine, couldn't they just go to China themselves?

Very true. If the US could establish some sort of massive hot college student exchange with Ukraine I would give them many more billion. Totally worth it IMHO

Let every Ukraine citizen have a rifle.

Europe's baby. We've packed their water for long enough...all the while being disrespected with their high-minded Socialist harangues. Now they'll have to take their subsidy money and use it to keep the Russians off their arse. Chickens coming to the roost.

This isn't even close to enough.

Our aide package should be 10-15 billion.
