President Donald Trump’s administration has released $250 million in military aid for Ukraine, U.S. senators said on Thursday, after lawmakers from both parties expressed concern that the White House had held up money approved by Congress.

The money is intended for use by Ukraine in its struggle with pro-Russian separatists backed by Moscow. Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimea region in March 2014.

On Wednesday, Trump and Zelenskiy appeared together for a news conference, at which Trump said he wanted Germany, France and other European countries to contribute to Ukraine’s defense.

Trump also diminished the substantial aid provided under the administration of President Barack Obama. “We put up a lot of money. I gave you anti-tank busters that, frankly, President Obama was sending you pillows and sheets,” Trump said.

Zelenskyy didn't stand up for Trump during the phone call situation and Trump still sends him $250MM

Looks like he not only supported a proxy war with Russia but he urged other NATO members to do so as well? Maybe I'm wrong and someone can explain to me what he was doing

Who said it did?

Do you know why trump was sending javelin missiles to Ukraine to fight Russia and encouraging other members of nato to aid Ukraine in its fight vs Russia?

Is it because he's not a deep state politician globalist? Is that why he was sending hundreds of millions of dollars and weapons to Ukraine?

Im sorry. Are you laughing at hundreds of millions of dollars and weapons that trump sent to Ukraine?


Trump actively said he did more to support Ukraine than Obama ever did? Was he telling the truth?

Here's the deal. The total was $500 million. However instead of just releasing the money to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine for them to distribute to their best buddy contractors Trump purchased $500 million in stinger missiles from Raytheon. The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine was PISSED. They couldn't distribute the money to their buddies.

THAT IS WHY THEY IMPEACHED TRUMP. He interfered with the money laundering scheme. Trump was fricking with them. Remember all these people from the Ukraine Embassy that testified against Trump:









They were so mad Trump was fricking with their money laundering operation.

Trump was actually right about Ukraine and Russia.

The ironic thing is that he is believed to be a puppet of Putin when he was lecturing the EU about how they need to build defenses against Putin and stop relying on Putin for energy or else something bad will happen. Everyone laughed at him for it.

Weird stuff, for sure.

Yes. Trump sent them stinger missiles. Obama sent them blankets and MREs plus billions of cash to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine. No telling where the cash went.

But what about the McCain Institute, Atlantic Council, The Council on Foreign Relations, The Clinton Foundation and other NGOs? If Trump just buys stinger missiles from Raytheon and gives them to Ukraine to defend themselves against Russian tanks how do you expect these NGOs to produce their VERY IMPORTANT white papers? They have to eat too.

Trump bought a half a billion dollars in weapons and sent to Ukraine to fight Russians??
