The U.S. will be providing Ukraine with an additional $8 billion to bolster its border guard capabilities, the White House announced Friday.
Vice President Joe Biden announced Friday that the U.S. will provide approximately $8 billion to help bolster Ukraine's State Border Guard Service. Biden shared the news with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko during a phone call on Friday.
"This additional assistance," the White House said, "includes engineering equipment for improving infrastructure along Ukraine's borders, transport and patrol vehicles, surveillance equipment to extend the visual range of border security patrols, and small boats to conduct maritime patrol and interdiction operations."

Good point, I think. I wonder how much $ has Putin provided to his goons?
Meanwhile obama plays with reggie and reggie plays with obama and plugs biden skinny dips in the pool looking for female secret service agents.
probably more than $8 million and some MRE’s
That would be on UPI’s part....
“probably more than $8 million and some MRE’s”
How much is satellite re-tasking for ballistic missile launches worth?
So is it really only $8 million? That won’t even cover the cost of the ships the Russians seized. I can see why the FR neo-Bolsheviks have their panties in a wad, though.
the headline says $8B and the press release says $8M, since Obama is a moron I’m going with millions.
Hopefully Ukraine buys a Mega Millions lottery number for tonight.
We need some very wealthy people, like the Koch brothers, to buy billboards all over the country and commercials on brainless TV shows so maybe some of the LIVs will see what their idol is doing to them.
Then again, they’re all in on it.
Blah, blah, blah...
Nothing Obama could do is unbelieveable, anymore.
Dude, you realize how crazy this story is going to get? Wait until RT picks it up . . . they’ll be sure to say, “UPI reported,” in order to cover their own asses.
Anyone else besides me ever wonder where this stash comes from that Obama and his gang keep handing out worldwide?
Like Halloween candy, except this supply never seems to run out.
Off topic but CNN just spent 57 mins. of the hour on Gaza before spending 2 mins. on Ukraine.
Do us all a favor and don’t start mocking the millions of us who did spend our military service trying to protect you against “them roo-ooskies” for generations, and with tens of thousands of lives, until the 1990s.

The press release says it $8 Million NOT $8 Billion
But as always we can always count on you to post a fallacious information.
As long as he can keep attention focused where he wants money is no object.
Not like it's his money, ya' know?
As far as I'm concerned giving anyone anything for border control when we're being overrun with illegal aliens is just a question of whether you want to flip the American people a bold headline making bird finger or a subtle one like His Majesty King Barry is so famous for doing at speaking engagements and photo ops.
Well it seems OBozo is providing 8 billion to his.
