Military Aid

President Joe Biden is apparently set to provide further HIMARS ammunition as Ukraine uses Western weapons to strike targets.

Ukrainian officials have requested more weapons as Russian forces gain key victories.

"Russia's army is more powerful, they have a lot of artillery and ammo," warned regional governor Vitaliy Kim on Saturday.

"We've done enough," Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said on Tuesday as he doubled down on his position not to send military aid to Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his military is losing 60-100 soldiers per day as Russia focuses its offensive in the eastern part of the country.

That's how long it will take Ukrainian troops to assimilate Western military equipment, according to the former general.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's warning came as Russia sold missiles with nuclear capabilities to his country.

Trump-endorsed Senate candidates including Adam Laxalt and J.D. Vance also attacked their Democratic opponents who supported the bill.

"Any senator running that supports McConnell must go," the former Trump admin official wrote on Saturday. "$40 billion of your money."

The Georgia Republican tweeted Saturday that "our highest ranking leaders would not be able to" visit Ukraine if conditions warranted more military aid.

The Pentagon has published a list of all the military equipment Washington has provided Kyiv with since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

Few details are known about the 121 Phoenix Ghost drones that the Biden administration is providing to Ukraine.

"We will not lessen our resolve," President Joe Biden said Thursday as he announced new economic and military aid to Ukraine.

The House minority leader claimed Sunday that the White House failed to provide Kyiv with enough weapons to stave off initial attacks from Russia.

Zelensky told NATO representatives that military aid "without restrictions" is what's needed to save the people and cities of Ukraine.

Among the arsenal of weapons the U.S. is shipping to Ukraine, there are 100 "tactical unmanned aerial systems."

Many GOP senators criticized the lack of time they were given to review the bill that provided funding for a range of different government priorities.

The liberal Democrat warned that weapons sent to Ukraine could wind up in the hands of paramilitary groups.

The president was playing golf with professional John Daly while officials were trying to set up a call to have the aid released, according to The New York Times.

The Center for Public Integrity sought more than 100 pages of documents from the Department of Defense and White House Office of Budget and Management, much of which came back heavily redacted.

Mark Esper said in October that the Department of Defense "do everything we can" to comply with the impeachment inquiry.

There has been a shocking lack of discussion on whether that aid is in any way beneficial to U.S. national security. The short answer is no.

"You had talked about investigating the Democrats was part of the quid pro quo," Chris Wallace pointed out.

At least 13 men were killed in fighting in the east of the country between July 18—when the aid freeze was communicated to the State and Defense departments—and its release on September 11.

The two men met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly amid allegations that Trump asked Zelensky to investigate accusations of corruption against 2020 rival Joe Biden.

Konstantin Kosachev also said that the investigation "does not add trust in the sincerity of these impeachment initiators."

"That doesn't look like good timing to a lot of people," Steve Doocy said.

On Monday, the president tried to paint the scandal as a media-driven attack and again denied any wrongdoing.

Trump has reportedly ordered his national security team to review some $250 million in military aid to Ukraine, which is fighting pro-Moscow separatists in the east of the country.

Pakistan's defense minister said his country was undergoing a "regional recalibration."
