Today, We Received a Decision – the U.S. Assistance, Which Will Be Felt by Both the Warriors on the Frontline, and the Cities and Villages Suffering from Russian Terror – Address by the President 20 April 2024 - 21:30
Dear Ukrainians!
From early morning today, various regions of our country have been experiencing air alerts and Russian strikes. From the east to the south... Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk regions, Kherson and the region, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions. Missiles, drone strikes, artillery. There is a lot of destruction — houses, port infrastructure, and energy facilities. There are casualties and, unfortunately, fatalities.
My condolences to their families and loved ones. Throughout the day, our air defense system was in action, there were responses to Russian strikes, the rescuers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and all the services performed their duties.
But this day is still a little different. Today, we received the long-awaited decision: the American support package we've been fighting for so hard. And it is a very significant package that will be felt by both our warriors on the frontline and our cities and villages suffering from Russian terror. The U.S. House of Representatives voted today.
I thank everyone who supported our package – this is a life-saving decision. I am grateful personally to Speaker Mike Johnson, to all American hearts who, like us in Ukraine, feel that Russian evil definitely should not prevail. I hope that the package will be considered in the U.S. Senate and submitted to President Biden’s desk quickly enough.
We appreciate every manifestation of support for our state and independence, for our people, and for our lives that Russia wants to bury in ruins. America has shown its leadership from the very first days of this war. And this kind of American leadership is crucial for the maintenance of an international order in the world based on rules and predictability of life for all nations. We will certainly use American support to strengthen both our nations and bring a just end to this war closer – a war that Putin must lose.
And I thank the entire Ukrainian team, everyone who works and does everything to bring this outcome closer. I thank all the representatives of our state, all our diplomats who are working to increase the support for Ukraine, all the representatives of the public sector, every volunteer, all the friends of Ukraine. I am grateful to my team. The world unites for Ukraine when Ukrainians unite for independence.
And today I would like to honor those of our people who have shown their best in the aftermath of the Russian strikes over the week – helping people, protecting lives. These are the employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, our medical workers, police officers. Everyone who works on the scene after the hits. Everyone who rescues people from under the rubble, stops fires, and saves the injured. Thank you all!
I would like to mention some of them in particular... Dnipro: Denys Mikheyev, Artem Serha, Dmytro Nikolayenko – these guys are from the State Emergency Service. Vitaliy Arkhypov – an emergency doctor in the Dnipro region, Yevhen Holitsyn – an emergency feldsher. I would also like to mention the police officers: Oleksiy Bondarenko and Vitaliy Andriyanov. Thank you! Karyna Kolisnychenko – a dog handler from the Pavlohrad search and rescue unit. Thank you for every life saved.
Odesa, SES: Yuriy Sukhorukov, Vitaliy Telehus and Artem Kopechynskyi. Thank you, guys!
Chernihiv: Artem Lysenko – a firefighter, Vadym Avramenko and Maksym Zhylko – also employees of the SES in the region, as well as police officers Andriy Vovk and Bohdan Tkachuk. Thank you! I am also grateful to Natalia Nosenok, a nurse who really cares about people and helps them.
I am grateful to everyone who cares about Ukrainians, about life in our country, about their city, their community, about our entire country! And I am especially thankful to each of our warriors. To all those who destroy the Russian occupier, who hold the frontline and thus preserve Ukraine on the world map. We are doing everything to ensure that our warriors have as many opportunities as possible so that this war ends as soon as possible on our terms, Ukrainian terms.

“The IMF recently published updated forecasts for Global GDP which show that Russia is forecast to hit 3.2% growth in 2024. At face value this makes the Russian Economy look like one of the strongest in the world however theses figures are misleading and mask what is happening in Russia.
The Kremlin is currently pouring Billions of Dollars into the economy to support the war in Ukraine and many businesses have abandoned their customers and markets to provide equipment for the war. In this video I look at this issue in more detail and discuss the short term and long term issues that Russia is facing.”

"The Russia Is Collapsing!!"
The vile Democrats are gloating about stealing our money for their criminal laundering activities on Twitter/X and DU. Now they’re doing so here on FR. This was once a safe haven from leftists. But they’re ruining FR just like they’ve ruined so many once-decent things in our country. 😖
The Youtube Clown Who Collapsed.
This is UNPAID for foreign aid. The gloating is disgusting
Are they even proper conservatives? The affects will be felt at the store. Tell them to not complain then.

US House of Representatives supports confiscating frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s benefit
UKRAINSKA PRAVDA

The US House of Representatives has voted in favor of the bill that would see the expansion of sanctions against Russia and allow Russian assets to be confiscated in favor of Ukraine.
SOURCE: European Pravda
DETAILS:
A total of 360 congressmen voted in favor of the bill, with 58 voting against.
As far as Ukraine is concerned, the bill provides for the possibility of confiscating Russian sovereign assets in favor of Ukraine.
The US president is given power to confiscate Russian sovereign assets and subsequently transfer the money to two funds: the Compensation Fund and Ukraine Support Fund.
The president may also coordinate a mechanism for transferring confiscated Russian assets to Ukraine with the Group of Seven (G7) states, the EU, Australia, and other US allies.
The bill stipulates that no later than 90 days after its adoption, the US president must submit a report to the Congress, which shall include:
• every person and entity subject to EU and UK sanctions;
• every person and entity that meets the criteria for US sanctions under the Magnitsky Global Human Rights Accountability Act of 2016; Executive Order 14024 (sanctions related to certain harmful activities of the Russian government); Executive Order 14068 (prohibiting certain imports, exports, and new investments in connection with the ongoing Russian aggression); and Executive Order 14071 (prohibiting new investments and certain services to the Russian Federation in response to the ongoing Russian aggression).
The president of the United States must impose sanctions against each person and entity identified in the above report as being subject to EU or UK sanctions and meeting the above US sanctions criteria.
The Act contains several other sanctions provisions that do not apply to Ukraine and are intended to enhance the fight against the distribution of fentanyl, strengthen US sanctions policy, combat money laundering, enhance information security, and enhance the fight against crime and other domestic policy issues.
The Rules Committee will set out the rules for reviewing the draft bill and vote on whether it will be released for debate. It is possible that US foreign aid bills and the 21st Century Peace through Strength Act will be combined for vote into one package.
The House of Representatives is also set to consider four bills on foreign aid on Saturday, 20 April, including a bill on aid for Ukraine.
BACKGROUND:
• On 18 April, Democrats in the House of Representatives departed from the usual political norms in the USA to save a foreign aid package, including for Ukraine, proposed by House Speaker Mike Johnson. The House Rules Committee voted to advance a package of four bills for consideration on the House floor.
• House Speaker Mike Johnson introduced the package of bills, which includes support for Ukraine, on Wednesday. It envisages allocating around US$61 billion in aid to Ukraine and allies. The bill’s final vote is expected to occur by the evening of Saturday, 20 April.
Yep. More garbage spam - posted in News/Activism, of course.

LOL 😂
Not at all. They’ve been stinking up this forum with their Ukraine First propaganda for over two years now.
This whole thing has the stench of Biden’s diapers.
Congratulations. The bill passed. Now you can get paid again.
What is a “proper conservative”?
What you need is background on the very complex taxonomy of conservatism. A little humility is called for here.
Conservatism has been called that which is left over after you strip out Marx. That was Chesterton I think. Or Belloc?
A place to start - Russell Kirk, “The Conservative Mind”.
And what happens when Russia wakes up and says “Enough of this bull$hit from the US, it’s time to push back!”
Pray Zelensky gets the Mussolini treatment
I was here before you.
What you have is a definition problem.
This comes from a lack of perspective.
I see there’s a cockalorum / fopdoodle on this thread. 😁

By July 4th he will be begging for more money. Once a treaty is signed billions more in contracts will be sent over.
Did anyone ever tell you that you're a boor, buwaya?
