On April 20, the House of Representatives of the US Congress voted for the so-called “Ukraine aid” bill that also includes Israel and China’s breakaway island province of Taiwan. Of the $95 billion allocated for all three, the bulk is slated for the Kiev regime – $61 billion or nearly 65%. Formally, at least, because the actual breakdown of how the funds will be used tells a very different story. Either way, the Democrats in the House certainly weren’t hiding their excitement over the development, almost as if they “defeated” Russia themselves, despite the fact that hundreds of billions in NATO “aid” have […] #Featured #Government #Investigations #Military #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/04/us-aid-wont-bring-victory-to-neo-nazi-junta-but-prolong-and-sustain-bloodshed/?feed_id=11339

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher The White House strategic communications coordinator, John Kirby, at a time when Kiev insists that it needs more weapons to combat Russian forces, said once again that Washington has no more funds for Ukrainian troops and stressed that there is not another package “in the works right now.” His statement comes as the Ukrainian foreign minister attempts to manipulate Congress using a Russian disinformation narrative. “There isn’t another one in the works right now or being scheduled for announcement or delivery. We meant it when we said it at the time, […] #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/we-meant-it-us-stresses-there-is-no-other-military-package-for-ukraine/?feed_id=8316

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko warned that her country would likely have to postpone payment of salaries and pensions to civil servants and millions of citizens if the US and EU do not comply with the financing aid they promised, reported the Financial Times on December 27. Her revelation comes as it is becoming increasingly apparent that the West is scaling back its support for Ukraine’s war against Russia. The state official told the FT that Kiev has been trying to save money and change spending priorities since September, when support from allies began to […] #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/ukraine-warns-of-salary-and-pension-payment-delays-without-western-financial-aid/?feed_id=7860

One of the gravest mistakes the Kiev regime ever made was to involve itself in American politics. It could be argued that this was inevitable because the United States effectively created the Neo-Nazi junta, but still, its leadership could’ve certainly expected what focusing only on one part of the American establishment would do to their future. However, the Kiev regime’s absolute lack of sovereignty is such they couldn’t even make that decision and the consequences are coming back to bite them. Namely, the fact that the Democrats, aided by the increasingly unpopular neocon Republicans, were the power behind the Maidan coup, is what will […] #Elections #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/what-happens-when-kiev-regime-runs-out-of-american-money/?feed_id=7328

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Members of the US Congress fear that if a military and financial aid package for Ukraine cannot be agreed before Christmas, it could be delayed until after the 2024 presidential elections, which take place in the distant November. The Economist notes that due to this funding uncertainty, “now America has become one of Ukraine’s greatest worries” since Washington has been “Ukraine’s greatest saviour as it marshalled arms, money and more to help” to fight Russian forces. According to the London-based outlet, “the longer the delay, the more the Republican and Democratic […] #Elections #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/us-military-aid-to-ukraine-may-be-postponed-until-after-2024-elections/?feed_id=6996

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Considering the current situation in the Middle East, Israel must receive all financial resources originally intended for Ukraine, declared US Senator Josh Hawley on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). His post was made in the context of growing backlash in the US for the constant weapon and money transfers to Ukraine when domestic issues, which are plentiful, should be prioritised. “Israel is facing existential threat. Any funding for Ukraine should be redirected to Israel immediately,” said the American senator. While Hawley’s post received more than 2 million impressions, it expectedly garnered […] #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/10/washingtons-warhawks-splitting-over-support-for-ukraine/?feed_id=4637

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Recent developments in the US indicate that Washington’s provision of aid to Ukraine is uncertain, said the head of European Union diplomacy, Josep Borrell. His belief rings true when considering that US public support for Ukraine continues to decline, particularly as the domestic economic situation deteriorates, a reality that Kiev is perhaps starting to realise. In early October, the Republican-controlled US House of Representatives passed a 45-day budget without assistance for Kiev. According to the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, US President Joe Biden assured recently that the US […] #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/10/events-in-the-us-indicate-financing-uncertainty-for-ukraine-says-eu-diplomacy-chief/?feed_id=4602
