On Saturday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) led a delegation of US senators on a trip to Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the latest high-level US visit to the country.
McConnell was joined by Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), John Barrasso (R-WY), and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). In a statement, McConnell said the delegation affirmed that the US would “sustain our support until Ukraine wins this war.”
Zelensky said that he discussed with the senators the “many areas of support for our state, including in defense and finance, as well as strengthening sanctions against Russia.”
Like other high-level US visits to Ukraine, McConnell’s trip was done in secret and was not made public until he was in Kyiv. Other US officials that visited Ukraine in recent weeks include House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the first lady, Jill Biden.
Last week, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned that he believed the trips to Kyiv and other US support for Ukraine risk provoking Moscow and sparking a direct conflict between the US and Russia. “It looks like to me that we’re taking way too many chances of sending people over there for a photo op,” he said.
McConnell’s visit came after Sen. Rand Paul blocked a vote in the Senate on the nearly $40 billion aid package for Ukraine the majority of Congress wants to pass quicklypass. On Sunday, McConnell said he expects to hold a vote on the massive package on Wednesday.
America has lost it’s collective mind as political hack after political hack makes a pilgrimage to bow at the feet of the anti-Christ Zelensky.
Zelensky should have been taken out of the equation on day one. He is responsible for more Ukrainian deaths than anyone this century or last.
All Zelensky had to do was honor the Minsk Accord or declare Ukraine neutral and non-NATO.
I think Stalin might have a slightly higher body count still.
He’s indeed hard to beat, but Putin is giving it his best 🙂
Did Stalin ever shoot a journalist in the face with an sniper gun to bow her face apart?
That is OK with me. Anyone who deals with this Ukrainian scum is acceptable.
All indications are, he fully intended to, but was countermanded by his Nazi superiors (both NATO and domestic).
US would “sustain our support until Ukraine wins this war.”
Well, why not stay in safe Kiev with all the rest of the kowtowing “Western leaders”?
Russia will take over the main productive part of Ukraine and that Western section can be left, stuffed with dead obsolete “donated” war hardware, glorious actors, film producers, spinmasters and their entourage all worshipping and plying with money the king of the world Zelinskyy. Good luck .
Russian forces have likely run out of combat-ready reservists, forcing the
Russian military command to amalgamate soldiers from many different
elements, including private military companies and proxy militias, into
ostensibly regular army units and naval infantry.
Approximately 2,500 Russian reservists are training in Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov oblasts to reinforce Russian offensive operations in Ukraine.
That number of reservists is unlikely to generate enough force to replenish Russian
units that have reportedly lost up to 20 percent of staffing in some
areas—to say nothing of the battalion tactical group that was largely
destroyed recently while attempting to cross the Siverskyi Donets River.
Russian forces are conducting covert mobilization and creating new units with newly
mobilized personnel who likely have insufficient training to be
effective and little motivation to fight.
Russian forces also deployed new conscripts from occupied settlements in
Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts to maintain an offensive around Kharkiv
City, likely due to the lack of Russian reserves.
Thanks for latest party-line update … always helpful.
Giving you a glimpse of the reality out there 🙂
We can’t afford another big I$rael which is 4.45 Israel’s population & borders an adversary with 100 million more population, no matter what the Ukrainian commedian who ran formerly as the peace candidate says.
Because they have to give the illusion(unsustainable) that they are serving Wyoming, Texas, Kentucky & Maine. That is why they can’t stay. As the war escalates, their ability to sneak off unnoticed will also diminish.
Welcome to the empire (that has expanded beyond sustainability). Foreign Aid is taking money from America’s poor people to give to foreigner’s rich people. I am going with David Stockman’s, former Office of Management & Budget under Ronald Reagan’s assessment. (Unsuatainable). You can listen to him on Scott Horton/Antiwar radio.
Yet another photo-op in Zelensky’s polish bunker…
Dementia Joe Biden and his puppet master obama want to send $40 Billion in aid to Zelensky in Ukraine. Sadly the House and Senate agree. How much is that?
If you stack $40 Billion in $100 dollar bills the stack would reach 25.2 miles into the sky.
Imagine that and fret. More for the drag queen Zelensky!
