If approved by the White House, the move would double the number of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems sent to the country, as Ukrainian and Russian forces continue their long-range artillery battle in Ukraine’s east.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is calling on the West to supply 300 rocket launchers, 500 tanks and 1,000 howitzers.
Ustinova said 500 soldiers are dying or wounded on the battlefield each day.
“One of the strategies the foreign partners are looking at is exhausting Putin. I’m sorry, we are exhausting our own people. We are literally losing our people,” she said.

That is where Russian soldiers go.
Most of that $40 billion was never intended to go to Ukraine, it was just to get back some pf the money Manchin nixed.
The Insiders make tons of money off war toys
Let Europe fund the war….we have no business there except for the military industrial complex…Ike was right
Limpsey and Mitch will lead the charge.
More foreign wars to play, courtesy of the Pentagon lobbyists.
Where the hell is the $40B. People have a very hard time comprehending just how much money that is.
M1A2 tank $8.5M x 500 = $4.25B
M198 Howitzer $0.5M X 1000 = $4.25B
RPG-7 rocket launcher $2K x 300 = $600K
How much of our money are they willing to spend protecting their corruption and sweetheart deal in Ukraine. If Putin rolls in their nest egg is gone!
.
The Dems and Republicans said the $40 Billion was just the start.
And the $40 Billion was like the 5th Ukraine Spending Bill passed.
$1.2 Billion has been approved since the $40 Billuon.
For some reason, people only remember the $40B.

Graham, McConnell & Team would sign on to a $500 Billion Ukraine bill. One only has to listen to them speak passionately about it.

When Ukraine falls the Republicans and Democrats lose the source of their dirty money. And Fauci loses his Bio Labs that creates and cultures virus and bio weapons to unleash in the U.S. such as Covid 19. That is why the Soros worshipers and Biden worshipers are so vocal to keep Ukraine afloat. Early on Soros said, “Ukraine must be defended.” and his parrots took up the refrain. Ditto Lying Joe.
Make that 501 tanks. lol
.
Somebody’s making money over the production of these things.
Money is being used for things other than weapons including paying Ukrainian government salaries and pensions, refugee support, food, etc. In addition, we are using some of it replenish our depleted weapon stocks as we draw down our own weapons to give to the Ukrainians.
An earlier article stated the UN had decided not to send any tanks or fighter aircraft out of concern Russia would retaliate.
Those U.S. mobile launchers are made with (Russian) titanium. Some launchers have already disappeared as the scrap value of titanium is very high and there are plenty of corrupt people in Ukraine eager to cash in.
Think of it as stripping an expensive car for parts.
“Every thief for himself !”
Not only have we the U.S. spent 50 times what the EU has spent on this war we just paid them back the $1.5 billion they put out. This whole thing is a scam.
Yesterday, Russia bombed multiple fuel facilities. What is interesting is that one was apparently functioning and the loss of it will create “an additional fuel crisis.”

legitimate
The simultaneous decommissioning of four oil facilities (the final destruction of the Kremenchug Oil Refinery, attacks on the Shebelinsky Gas Processing Plant, the Lisichansky Oil Refinery and the oil depot in Novomoskovsk) testify to the desire to reduce the logistical capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass.
In Ukraine, there will now be a second wave of the fuel crisis - a source. Information came that this was burning Shebelinsky GPP ((Shebelinsky OPGKN) in the Andreevka village, 15 kilometers from Balakliya . The Russians did not want to bomb it for a very long time, thinking they would soon take it under control, but the goals and objectives have now changed. The government of Ukrina stated that it had stopped it, but in reality it worked and produced 140 thousand tons of gasoline, 75 thousand tons of diesel fuel, 144 thousand tons of liquefied gas and biofuel.
In the Poltava region during the daytime, at least five missile strikes were carried out on the territory of the Kremenchug Oil Refinery and other key objects of the city.
