Russia-Ukraine war: US House passes crucial aid deal worth $61bn | BBC News
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 апр 2024
- The House of Representatives has finally approved billions of dollars in new US military aid for Ukraine to help combat Russia's invasion.
The much-delayed measure had vocal opponents in Congress and it took a fragile bipartisan deal to get the $61bn (£49bn) package through.
Republicans said more than a third would be dedicated to replenishing weapons and ammunition.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the US support as "vital".
The aid would keep the war from expanding and save thousands of lives, he added.
It is unclear when the aid will arrive, but reports suggest it could be within days. The package will now go to the Senate, which is expected to pass it before President Joe Biden signs it into law.

61 billion to fund another country to fight your war for you? That's a bargain.
61 Billion that America doesn't have, trillions in debt.
@@MrWannabeartist its not even 61 billion its mostly old cold war stock in storage, and America will be making money on tax revenue from new weapons manufacturing, and sales to countries rearming
no bargain, paying our tax money to a country that we don’t care about is wild. How about raising our social security or fixing much needed infrastructure??
@MrWannabeartist yeah but trump tax cuts
@@gooseywhispers It clearly states 61 billion to murder innocents on both sides.
They also approved "aid" for Israel yesterday.
Not seeing much mention of that, tho.
There's plenty of talk about that too, just not here. This is the more eye-catching story, because US aid for Israel has never been controversial or challenged in Congress. Only aid to Ukraine has been a sticking point for months.
Well looks like Ukraine have triple than Israel
@@user-nj4pt2yh5z Israel has gotten a fortune over the years
@@joesterling4299But in UN council this has been an issue that they discuss, right?
well they approved aid to both nazi countries on Hitlers birthday......
Playing down not saying much that Israel has received billions in aid!
Approving Aid so that they can defend themselves against children and women. 🤣🤣🤣. Israel controlled western media won't talk expose their shame.
Much smaller than Ukraine, Taiwan also got billions.
@@MrWannabeartistYour point? Does it make it ok to fund a genocide? Explain please
Didn't they split the aid packages? This package is not for Israel that's a separate issue.
@@hizzlemobizzle exactly! that guy is just doing whataboutism.
ukraine bill was HR 8035 whereas israels bill was HR 8034. those numbers can be googled.
Here in the UK the government gave £750 Billion to the banks in 2008. We had 10 years of austerity and high taxes to pay off the banks debts. They gave £250 Billion to the EU over the same time and then £500 Billion on covid. But now there is no money for the sick and disabled.
Seems democracy doesn't work
There's allways money for war. Only reason congress passed the bill, is AIPAC's influence in America. 26 billion is for Israel!
Brexit was the testing ground for the social media propaganda attacks on the west. They got the UK to hurt itself and weakened itself and the EU in the process, always be suspicious of weird so called "populist" movements.
sick and disabled dont pay tax dollars into the economy anyways, be glad you not in russia or you would be sleeping on the streets and eating dog food.
And no prosperity hope for the majority voter either. The voter never asked for any of this stupidity. Basically they say, put your own country first.

@@DacianRider he’s not funding all sides. 🇺🇸 gave 🇮🇷 6 billion
Yes that’s the United States for you
You just summed up trump in 3 words.
The crazy thing is that the US knows that no amount of money will change the outcome
Clearly, this isn't about winning any war, it is about prolonging the war whilst billions and billions are laundered.
Welcome to corporate capitalism, the best system that money can buy!
I wonder how many realized that A!PAC owns the US and UK govts!
Oh look, a Russian bot.
Russia has only advanced at most 7 kilometres in 6 months and that was while Ukraine was running low on ammunition. Enough money will certainly stabilise the front.
Yeah but if the US gives more money Russia will lose faster its very humanitarian in a way
it makes the war more expensive for putin with his reserve fund all used up. so with russian economy failing all they have to do is let inflation do the damage to the russian economy as the rouble weakens. inflation is why the ussr went kaput lol.
When is this gonna end ?
Putin's buds become not so friendly as life gets not so nice.
When Russian troops return to Russia.

@@muuuuuudas opposed to biden falling asleep mid interviews.
Given they have held Russia back all this time ide say they use it
they wisely steal it. Giving money to the most corrupt kleptocracy in Europe is like giving it to a junkie and asking him not to spend it on drugs. But it wont make any difference on the war.
The US Department of Defense said about 1,600 auditors worked on the 2023 audit, which cost $187 million. The pentagon was able to account for just over half of it 4 trillion dollar budget for the year. They spent 187 million dollars to auditors just to learn they "misplaced" a couple trillion dollars. What's another few hundred billion on top of that for Ukraine.
The US government, especially Congress makes me SICK their job is supposed to regulate the economy and they can’t even do that.
But they can send BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS to other nations….

Infinite dollar... That is what BRICS want to control....
God bless America, hey friend how are you doing.?
The pentagon doesn’t have a 4 trillion budget. It’s about 8-900 billion per year.
What you’re talking about is it’s assets and liabilities, not its income
@@Gumpmachine1 you're confusing him with all these words that are longer than two syllables :-))) Clearly, he can't tell his arse from his elbow and you want him to know the difference between a budget and a balance sheet? :)

Great Brexit complaining about other countries' money.
Hilarious. 😀
Churchill once said that Americans can be counted on doing the right thing after trying everything else.
And indeed we finally did back then, to the great relief of the great Mr Churchill.
no way you are spinning this as "finally America does what it needs to" as if the US is not by far the biggest supporter of Ukraine, and America is not the ONLY reason Ukraine has not capitulated yet. Despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine being on Europe's doorstep, the US has provided by far the most military aid to Ukraine, without which, Russia would have already conquered Ukraine.
Europeans like to stay at the sidelines and watch the US do the heavy lifting and dirty work, benefit from US actions, while also criticizing the US for actions in very complicated, difficult situations
Churchill also said "Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful," he wrote in his own history of WW2 after Pearl Harbor
Why is it that the US always has to clean up Europe’s mess? World War I, World War II, and this war? Why is it that Europe starts these incredibly destructive wars but needs America to finish them? A little bit of gratitude and grace from the Europeans would be nice, because who knows what language they would be speaking without the Americans.
And the English always do the right thing? How about returning the Rosetta Stone and Elgin Marbles?
Say no. Our "representatives " are reprehensible.
Total aid passed 95 billion from a country 74 trillion in debt😂😂😂😂😂😂
As long as it's for defeating Poot, I'm fine with it.
@@ytsux9259Yes, that will solve our 10 million starving homeless.
First off... it's 34 trillion in debt. LOL! And the US has a annual GDP of 25trillion+... Soooo?? 🤣
Which means nothing. The Country will always be in debt.
$200 Billions couldn’t win over Russia but this $60 Billions suppose win? 🤣😂🤷♂️
That's what makes America great: support democracy!
Supporting nazzis actually.

Yeah... "Democracy" and "freedom" by the grains and megatons.
Which democracy? Usa is most hated country in history right now
They can afford many Homeless, starving, dying AMERICAN PEOPLE but US giving billions for other countries. Wow! Poor Americans who are suffering.
This money isn't going anywhere. It goes into ramping up defence production here in the USA. It's already created hundreds of jobs and opened new production lines because we're mostly giving Ukraine older equipment and munitions (which otherwise we would soon have to pay to dispose of) while producing brand new stuff for our military.
@@johnnyenglish583What you Americans are doing is sowing the seeds of war. And it's only a matter of time before you harvest.
Sorrounded by 2 oceans huh?
Babylon.
@@johnnyenglish583 it's still allocating labor for weapons production which doesn't increase Johnny's life standard. Every state the USA occupied after WWII (Japan, Germany...) have much higher income than the USA and its citizens still claiming they are doing the right things. It's a great achievement of the USA mass media at perception management of Americans.
Trump explained this before in a direct way from a business mans point of view: Americans invest much to manipulate politics in foreign countries but gets less.
@@atilasatilmis9986 it increases Johnny's living standard because it creates jobs for Johnny, and Johnny can spend money buying things to improve his living standard, which also means taxes going to the state and federal budget, which is then spent on different things, some of which make Johnny's living standard better (like the infrastructure for example).
Anyway being the leading superpower costs money. It's always been the case. Maintaining the British Empire cost the British Crown more than it got from customs duties and taxes.
The USA isn't doing badly, anyway. Look at Russia, where 30% of the national budget is being spent on the war, while 28% of its population have no access to running water and about 30% have to shit outdoors because they have no indoor toilets.
I'm not saying the situation in the US is perfect - it surely isn't. But somehow it's Russians and Chinese that are flocking to live in the USA, not the other way around. For all its problems, the US remains a very affluent and relatively free country compared to the other superpowers.
US citizens and businesses received several Trillions in total during the C19 pandemic. Yet you think 61Bn will magically fix the homelessness and poverty. What a dunce.
The patient is dying….the onlookers do everything they can to prolong his suffering….for reasons unfathomably cruel.
Yes, Russia is even putting children in factories
aid deal to ukraine means money to the weapons manufacturers, and where are they, in america of course
Exactly, so jobs and tax money back to US economy. It’s a win win.
Which part of america? Why is it bad?
@@TonyM540 yes but there is a huge disinformation campaign to make the less informed Americans believe that this money is just handed without terms straight to the pockets of Ukrainian politicians. It's absolutely not!
Supporting our allies, weakening our adversaries and helping American businesses in one go, wow sounds like it's positives all around
@@JackTheAverage it's called warcrime and terroristic aid in Civilised World.
Remember Nuland said most of the money is spend in America , a 1 dollar bullet cost 100 dollars in America
yeh its a farce. Even if they keep most of it, it goes into a washing machine. As you say, $100 in, $1 product out. And its not like the $99 goes back into the system, its gets pushed out to 'special funds', 'Shareholders', 'special projects' etc. And the US is wondering why Russia is kicking there arses and China is strutting around like it owns the place. Our greed has come round big time.
Yep, Mitch McConnell in the US Senate says the aid money will be spent in the US. Talk about legalised money laundering.
@@jay26cee Yeah, more like average government subsidies for business tailored to a current global situation. You know like EVs or coal mines?
The money is spent in America , but the blood is spent elsewhere.

True, but this does not prevent that. This also creates a lot of work for Americans. Not that it makes war ok it's just a fact of life that we are manufacturing the drones, ammo and weapons.
This war will be more expensive for the US and the world if Ukraine loses. This option is the lesser of two evils.
So should we completely defund the military? Every dollar Russia spends makes Russia less of a threat to America. Sending aid to Ukraine saves American lives and American money. Russia has supported every adversary America has had for the past few decades, now they'll be less able to do that.

It is called a free market economy. The West has tried to tell you about this since the end of the Cold War, but instead you wanted to follow the dream of rebuilding Imperial Russia, because that worked out so well last time.
Exactly. This has always been the case with aid. There have always been strings attached such as buying US or UK weapons or getting dibs on access to natural resources. It's about directing public money into private pockets.
Wanna talk about the russian military industrial complex? I doubt it. :D
Good.
Very disappointed in my country
Russia ? Then you should be.
@@andrewalderman9489 yea I say let Russia have Ukraine again
@@bonnie7898 yes it did
@@bonnie7898 Russia was founded in Ukraine, it used to be called Kievan Rus
@@Wredd60 by that logic, The UK should invade should invade the US to reclaim what once was theirs? dumbass logic
Let's go US! Let's go Ukraine!
America is outraged that Moscow marge voted against the bipartisan border bill so trump can have it as a campaign issue.
Trump literally doesn’t think that far ahead. He thinks of himself only and how whoever last praised him or not.
America promised pen-on-paper to support Ukraine for as long it needs the help, so if America breaks their promise (Like Russia did) Ukraine is technically free to produce nuclear weapons again.
Why Can't We All Just Get Along!!! 🤷🏻😕
Only time that happened when humans hadn’t existed
Because some people are criminals.
because of Russia's desire to destroy Ukraine
Blame Israel
Western countries will cease to exist because they survive by creating wars. How will their economy survive without wars?
The russian bots are hating this hahahaha
Ikr 🤣😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤣😂
No we aren't because we have seen all of this garbage from the west for years now, and Russia are still shovelling away the shite from Ukraine.🤣🇬🇧❤️🇷🇺 SLAVA RUSSIA 👍
This is so stupid what happens when this package runs out
Send out another package. Probably increase it to $70 billion. It is a perpetual funds till nothing is left for America.
In an war that can't be won,and where millions of innocent people are murdered by the Democrat party.
Well if the collective west could agree to use the locked russian money trapped in western banks which far outstrips this latest sum, to aid Ukraine instead of fearing a reprisal, this issue wouldn’t exist
they don't run out the assets get detroyed overtime by russians
Votes on more packages, not just from the US but all of NATO. Hopefully all of the frozen russian money too. Supporting our allies is not stupid
Aid for Ukraine??? People here are struggling beyond belief!
That's why it's good the USA gets to spend that 61bn. It's spend locally, not send to Ukraine lol. You can't eat abrams tanks or stinger missiles you might as well send em to Ukraine for money.
Yea but Russian people are REALLY going to struggle now.
@@Shokkwavezhow is it benefitial? US just literally throwing away money, as if Ukraine is paying for those equipments lol
@@Shokkwavez it's basically blood money! Shame!
@@nuke_Godjiradon’t worry about it
What is 61billion compared to 34t of debts ?
Great country. Bright future to the future generations.
In fact, every year add 860b just for interest alone. Every 3 months, add 1t of debts.
Spend like no tomorrow.
Add another 1 trillion every 6 months.
Expectations that the U.S. will be able to resolve artillery shell and air defense missile shortages by throwing more money at the problem is not realistic at all and we found this out two years ago with news of the real rates of U.S. artillery, ammunition and missile production. The U.S. defense production system is not oriented to high volumes of lower value items, but low volumes of high-cost units along with a lifetime of maintenance and logistics support with upgrades.
The U.S. aside, Europe is in no financial position economically to deal with the Ukrainian crisis over the long term either.
They’ve got their own problems now as a result of this crisis and try to come back economically and politically and regain the quality of life that they had before. But right now, Europe’s in a recession. They’ve cut off their energy sources. And it’s going to take a long time and a lot of capital to regain some semblance of that. What they had before they will not be able to replicate on any near-term basis. Europe has got its problems, and the U.S. has got its problems, and they are trying to resuscitate a dead dog (Zelensky regime.)
@@MS-lk4xc The russian bot accounts are doing their very best to make this sound like it isn't an issue. But deep down it's a huge issue for russia. They are literally sending people on assaults on quad bikes and old ural trucks now. This will stop those dead.
@@MS-lk4xc House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated that only a fraction, approximately $12-14 billion, would directly provide weapons to Ukraine. A substantial portion, around 80%, would benefit U.S. defense industries.
U.S. involvement in the ongoing proxy conflict in Ukraine was only prolonging the standoff.
The collapse of Ukraine is inevitable, despite the U.S. aid bill.
These scenes of celebration are going to look particularly foolish when Ukraine collapses anyway. The federal government can print more money; it can’t just print more artillery shells and air defense missiles.
Iraq and Afghanistan wars also began with annual appropriations in the $60B range. Those wars ended up costing trillions.
Simple math showed that the new funding bill could do no more than possibly buy Ukraine precisely half of a Summer Counteroffensive.
And, of course, everyone knows full well how that much-heralded counteroffensive attempt ended up last year, limited battlefield achievements coupled with massive manpower and hardware losses.
The U.S. should cut a deal and seek detente with Russia to provide a baseline for world peace.
If Europe is in a recession then it’s the mildest one I’ve ever been in. Full employment, low interest rates, low inflatio best wages I’ve had in 30yrs.
100% facts
Foreign Countries First Before Our Own…That’s quite interesting
61 billions is nothing compared to the US economy
10% for CNN, BBC, & the rest.
Nah, 10% for the Big Guy.
And how much is that so far in total ever since??? And whats the impact?? Some one please help me out here
do some research
Certainly, start walking towards Moscow.
That would be $136 billion US aid so far. Plus a bit more than that from the EU countries. The impact is, that Kremlin's fascist regime is wasting its resources and people fighting a sensless war in Ukraine, instead of already capturing Kyiv and threatening NATO members directly, and therefore no American lives are lost.
@@flopoz2575 fake number , try again
@@flopoz2575 IT's precisely not wasting Russia's resources, it's wasting western ones. The leaders of the west are destroying it and themselves, for various bizarre reasons.

Don't feel sorry for the stupid Democrat government.
Yeah! Because European NATO members are so POOR that they cannot fund to repel the advance of the Russians on the grounds of Ukraine. It has to be The United States of America (USA) ever since WW2.
Not as sorry as you'll feel for them if russia wins in Ukraine.
The aid to Ukraine/Israel as well as the TikTok ban bill is the reason Trump will win the 2024 elections
Bot thing aside, old military tech will be compensated, used to create more jobs and weapons to US citizens, with comments like these i feel sorry to people who cant google and fact check things.
Every American should be furious that the USA is supporting it's own interests in Europe?
Why?
Certainly, secure the southern border with China
I mean Mexico,
but help Europe support the Ukraine too.
Not because its the right thing to do (it is)
But because it's good for the USA and its allies.
I'm freaking enraged.
It's good for the Anglo American elite, and the opposite for their populations. Key distinction.
You're misinformed. Being at war with Russia is not good for USA and it's allies, how many billions will the world give Ukraine to fight Russia? Russia manufactures MORE ammunition, artillery rounds, and military equipment in general THAN ALL OF NATO COUNTRIES COMBINED!!!!!! Plus they have people on the frontline. Ukrainians are fleeing at an astonishing rate, 61 billion dollars is not going to help.
Well your the first American I came across with a brain cell 😅
It's either in Ukraine or a European country with American soldiers on the ground. Which would you pick? I'm pretty sure Europe needs the U.S. if Russia invades a NATO country.
Finally, Americans demonstrate some common sense.
60 billion for death and destruction. Babylon.
Of ruzzian invaders
To stop the evil Russian empire twit tits
Stop giving our money to other countries please.
@WonderMonkey-xp3xk Stop being an overly judgment
Why don't they spend the money on sorting there own country out?
It s called multi tasking. Have you ever heard of that, surely not at your level of vision.

@@TonyM540well you see there was this openly Nazi dictatorship in the most corrupt country in the world.
The citizens voted to be part of Russia so the Nazi dictator murdered 50,000 ethnically Russian civilains using his Nazi battalion Azov and provoked Russia for a full 7 years before they got tired and said "you fucked around, now you get to find out"
Of course all if this was done after the actor was installed (not elected) by the Obama regime so the Biden crime family could launder money and sell American influence under the table while the big guy gets his 10%

Yay?
2024-4-21 (IMF) warns that the huge U.S. fiscal deficit is exacerbating inflation and posing "significant risks" to the global economy.
The latest "Fiscal Monitor Report" released by the IMF shows that the U.S. fiscal deficit is expected to reach 7.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) next year, while the average level of other developed economies is only 2%. The Financial Times quoted an IMF report as saying that large-scale U.S. spending could have a profound impact on the global economy and pose risks to other economies. Therefore, the United States urgently needs to solve the serious imbalance between expenditure and revenue.
so, global economy depends on internal US policy? China says "no"
