The Trump administration on Wednesday approved the sale of lethal arms to Ukraine's government as the country battles pro-Russian separatists in its eastern provinces.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the administration approved the sale of Model M107A1 Sniper Systems and associated equipment to the country at a value of $41.5 million. The administration has not yet moved to approve heavier arms requested by Ukraine's government, including Javelin anti-tank missiles.

The move from the White House is a departure from the Obama administration, which frequently condemned Russian aggression in the Ukraine but refused to approve the sale of arms to the country's western-aligned government.

traitorous obama was the only puppet hack with an a-hole big enough to shove multiple hands into and control the mouth.

Nothing is left of Obama anymore other than his ten trillion dollar debt.

I've always wondered why we say 'the' in front of Ukraine.

We don't, now that it is a nation state.

It was the custom to say 'the ukraine' when referring to it as a region - just as we would say 'the ocean.'

But when referring to it as a nation, it is proper to just say "Ukraine" just as we would say "England."

It is considered regressive to say "the Ukraine."

Good, long advocated for this. Just wish it included Javelins, they need anti-tank weapons more than sniper rifles. Comes at a good time too, fighting is once again escalating in Donbas.
