Ex-Pentagon adviser: there is no point in sending money to Ukraine
The allocation of a new aid package to Ukraine does not make sense, said former Pentagon adviser, retired Colonel Douglas McGregor.
According to him, the conflict in Ukraine is almost over.
“There is no point in sending money there. What about funding our border!” — McGregor wrote on the social network X.
The bill adopted in the United States involves the allocation of $60.84 billion to help Ukraine. However, most of these funds will remain in the United States. Thus, $23.2 billion will be used to replenish the arsenals of the US Army, which were empty after the transfer of weapons, equipment and ammunition to Kyiv. Another $13.8 billion will be spent on purchasing new weapons for Ukraine. Not all weapons will be shipped immediately. Some will arrive in Ukraine within a week after the law takes effect, while others will still need to be produced.
$11.3 billion of this amount is allocated for the ongoing activities of the US military in Ukraine. This includes the training of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel, as well as presence in the countries of NATO’s eastern flank.
And finally, $7.8 billion will be spent to support the Ukrainian economy. This money will be provided to Kyiv as a loan. It will go directly to the budget to cover its deficit. In addition, a separate bill has been adopted, which obliges US President Joe Biden to present a strategy for further support of Ukraine with the establishment of specific and achievable goals within 45 days.
