Ukraine is arguing the actual amount is about five times lower at more than $90 billion, said the person who declined to be named because the talks are private.
looks like they haven’t found their list, otherwise it would be removed, i guess.
in case they find it: https://archive.ph/5xzGu
To date, we have provided $65.9 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and approximately $69.2 billion in military assistance since Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014. We have now used the emergency Presidential Drawdown Authority on 55 occasions since August 2021 to provide Ukraine military assistance totaling approximately $27.688 billion from DoD stockpiles.
69.2 + 27.688 = 96.888
And on top of that I recall the occasional claims that not everything that was promised was always delivered?
And what happened to the lend lease thing? Didn’t a bit chunk come from that so Ukraine needs to repay it in any case?
I’ve said it before and will do it again:
For what its worth, the US can have whatever deal they want - if they ensure that Russia pisses off from the entirety of Ukraine, compensates for the caused damages and Zelenskyy can go for a nice evening walk on the beaches of Crimea. And NATO membership.
