The US is sending 31 tanks to Ukraine, followed by artillery support. A supplemental budget request will provide pensions and social support. $150 million in military aid is pledged, with an additional $1 billion locked down. Total aid nears $130 billion.

I'm glad to be working with you all to make this deal happen. The Ukrainian people on both sides are trying to stop a world war. We need to provide you with weaponry because Russia is not a threat and has always hated us. I'm trying to make a deal here, so whose side are you on? We're about action, not empty words. Diplomacy is what makes America strong. We had a ceasefire, but it was broken. I believe you should be grateful and not act disrespectfully. You were campaigning on the other side, but now you're on the right side, so you should be thankful. We're getting you $350 million, and without us, this would be over quickly. We had a ceasefire, but you're not listening. We've been helping you destroy tanks, while others have only given you sheets. Wars don't happen under my watch. Now, let's get some lunch, and then we'll sign the papers. Do you have your pen?

I want to address the figures being circulated about the financial aid Ukraine has received from the U.S. I often hear numbers like $177 billion, or even $200 billion, being cited. As the President of a nation at war, I can tell you that we've received just over $75 billion. The difference is significant. This aid isn't given as cash, but primarily as weaponry. The $75 billion covers the cost of arms, training, transportation, humanitarian programs and social support. Claims that Ukraine has received $200 billion in military aid are simply untrue, and I don't know where that money is supposedly going.

"United States continues to stand with Ukraine. And earlier this morning, I called Ukraine's acting defense minister to tell him that president Obama has approved additional nonlethal military assistance for health and welfare items and other supplies." "Pressure is mounting on US president Barack Obama to provide lethal aid to Ukraine's military." "Both the house and senate passed the Ukraine Freedom Support Act in late December, paving the way for March worth in lethal and nonlethal military assistance, a rare agreement in the usually divided congress." "The US is one step away from providing Ukraine with $350,000,000 worth of support after congress unanimously passed a bill late on Thursday." "As rockets are launched into the skies over Eastern Ukraine and shells hit apartment buildings in Donetsk, the human toll of the conflict is inescapable."

Speaker 1 updates that the aid for Ukraine is being voted on in the House of Representatives and will likely pass. The next step is the Senate vote, expected early next week. They express support and admiration for Ukraine's bravery. The administration is preparing weapons and equipment to send quickly. Speaker 0 thanks Speaker 1 for the support and inspiration. They end with well wishes. "Slava, Ukraine."

Give Ukrainians the weapons and authorization they need. We rely on heroes like those from the Azov battalion.

It’s an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've been working closely together for a long time and have negotiated a fair deal to obtain rare earth minerals that we need for AI, weapons, and our military. I've also had good discussions with President Putin to try and bring the war to a close. If I were president, this war would have never happened. We've given Ukraine great equipment and credit to their brave soldiers. We're going to sign the agreement shortly, and I think we're fairly close to a deal to stop the shooting. I hope this document will be the first step to real security guarantees for Ukraine. We count on America's continued support, including licenses for air defense and your strong position to stop Putin.

I visited Kyiv for the 12th or 13th time to announce a $1 billion loan guarantee. I asked for action against the state prosecutor, but they didn't comply. I threatened to withhold the money unless the prosecutor was fired. He was fired within 6 hours.

We are actively discussing how to support Ukraine, having recently engaged with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky. We have provided over $10 billion in aid, including military equipment like drones, armored vehicles, guns, and ammunition. We will continue to support Ukraine by purchasing necessary equipment on the international market. Our commitment to Ukraine is unwavering as we stand by our allies in the face of Russian aggression.

The American people should be proud of their support for Ukraine. We will continue supplying Ukraine with critical weapons and equipment, including $200 million that I just approved. However, without additional funding, our ability to help Ukraine respond to urgent demands is coming to an end. We need Ukraine to fix its broken immigration system, and Congress needs to do the same at home. Holding Ukraine funding hostage to push a partisan agenda on the border is not the solution. We need real solutions.

We will soon vote on providing military weapons to Ukraine, which is the most crucial vote we will ever take as US senators.

President Zelensky, Canada stands by you. We have provided $9 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian aid since Putin's aggression began. Our commitment continues with a $650 million multiyear plan. This includes 50 armored vehicles, medical evacuation vehicles built in Ontario, and F-16 trainers for pilots and maintenance. We will work with NATO and provide economic support to keep Ukraine strong and prosperous. Our hope is for peace to return soon, so military and financial aid won't be necessary.

This wouldn't have passed without Donald Trump. Thanks to the house speaker and Hakeem Jeffries for bipartisan efforts in giving weapons to Ukraine. Trump's contribution gives us leverage for the future.

I just signed a $200 million drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

Okay, so sending in offensive equipment like planes and tanks would be World War III. That being said, the US will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. We have artillery, but honestly, it's not enough. We're basically out of money, so I'm sending Congress a supplemental budget request, so the Ukrainian people will be able to receive pensions and social support. This is the largest assistance package from the US to Ukraine yet: $3 billion in direct aid. The US will also send over a billion dollars in new aid, plus another $150 million in military assistance. The US locked down an additional $2 billion in military aid, and the total now stands close to $130 billion.

We are the largest donor of military equipment to Ukraine and have promised to match or exceed the amount provided by another country. This has been a productive conversation, focusing on the ongoing battle and the need for support.

I am working very hard to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security. Do you want to keep it going for another five years? 2,000 people are being killed every single week, or more. They're Russian young people. They're Ukrainian young people. They're not Americans, but I want it to stop. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far. They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending Ukraine.

The speaker is meeting with the secretary general and plans to send them sophisticated military equipment, for which they will be fully reimbursed. The U.S. is in for about $350 billion, while Europe is in for $100 billion, though the speaker believes Europe should contribute more. As the U.S. sends equipment, they will be reimbursed. The speaker mentions sending text pictures and files, with the European Union paying for it. The U.S. will send patriots, which are needed because Putin "bombs everybody in the evening."

We pledged to match or surpass the largest donor of military equipment to Ukraine. We have provided significant support, and we appreciate the gratitude.

The United States has been sending hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense, with no end in sight, and with no security. Do you want to keep this going for another five years? Two thousand people, or more, are being killed every single week.

Israel received an unprecedented $10 million emergency assistance package for defense. The US president, Biden, spoke to the Ukrainian president, Zelensky, before announcing this aid.

The Senate advanced a spending bill that allocates $35 million to the Department of Energy for preparing for and responding to potential nuclear and radiological incidents in Ukraine. This bill brings the total US expenditure on Ukraine, including war-related aid, government funding, and energy assistance, to $67 billion. This $67 billion is more than Russia's entire military budget from last year. Congress is expected to fully pass the bill later this week.

Patriot missiles and batteries are being planned for Ukraine. A full complement with the batteries will be provided. Some are expected to arrive very soon, within days. Countries that have Patriots will swap over and be replaced with the ones they have. Matt will coordinate with NATO.

The majority of the money from this gain is going to American companies and jobs. American companies like Lockheed Martin, which produces tanks and supports Ukraine's counter offensive, are benefiting from this increase in demand. As a result, Lockheed Martin plans to increase its workforce in Camden, Arkansas by 20%. This demonstrates that the money is going to America.
