U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday morning by train, meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky and promising that “assistance is now on the way” after Congress passed the $95 billion foreign aid package in April.

Blinken is in Kyiv to “highlight the United States’ enduring support for Ukraine”, the State Department said on Tuesday, after the Secretary of State arrived in the country by overnight train, a necessity for foreign diplomatic visits as flying directly to Ukraine remains impossible.

The two-day trip is the first by an American government figure since Congress passed the foreign aid package in April, which of $95 billion in spending commits $61 billion to Ukraine. Upon meeting the Ukrainian President in Kyiv this morning, Blinken and attending journalists were told by Zelensky that what Ukraine wants most out of the United States is air defence systems, which he said were the “biggest deficit”.

Weapons to Ukraine. No weapons to Israel. Take away weapons from Americans.

No surprise there.

They’ve already burned through 100 billion worth of weapons. Why should we think another 100 billion, with even less soldiers, will produce any better results?

Boinking was worried that Zelensky was ready to disappear any minute. He had the deer in the headlights look when he did two videos on the new Russian advance. Boinking arrived empty handed and offered Zelensky nothing but hollow words.

He's keep the illusion going that any weapons we give are going to make any difference whatsoever on the battlefield. They won't. Ukraine is critically low on manpower.
