Germany has been providing tanks, air defense weapons, equipment, and ammunition to Ukraine since the start of the war. The European Union is also giving one billion in military aid. Together with international partners, sanctions have been imposed in great detail to target the right people and have a significant impact. Translation: Since the beginning of the war, Germany has been supplying tanks, air defense weapons, equipment, and ammunition to Ukraine. The European Union is providing an additional one billion in military aid. Along with our international partners, we have imposed unprecedented sanctions that have been meticulously prepared to target the right individuals and have a meaningful effect.

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."

There was no policy decision to stop sending weapons to Ukraine. A review of stockpiles caused a temporary pause of certain munitions. During the review, some shipping slowed down, but didn't stop. The review has occurred, and there's been no change to the posture of providing what is available. Ukraine needs Patriot batteries, which are available in multiple European countries, including Spain and Germany. Some countries that have ordered Patriot batteries and are about to receive them could defer shipment to Ukraine instead. These are defensive weapons that would help with missile attacks, but not drone attacks.

I just signed a $200,000,000 drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

America's strength lies in diplomacy, which we are pursuing with the current president. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine back in 2014, and despite numerous conversations and ceasefire agreements, they continued attacks. My administration is trying to prevent the destruction of your country. Everyone faces challenges during war, but you need to appreciate the support you're receiving. We've provided substantial financial and military aid. If you had to fight this war on your own, it would have been over in two weeks. Be thankful. It's important for the American people to see what's happening. Without our support, you don't have a chance. We gave you javelins, not just sheets. I have empowered you, but without us, you're vulnerable. Make a deal, or we're out. You're not acting thankful at all.

We have artillery, but is it sufficient? Ukrainian soldiers can't operate American tanks. Let's show the world that the United States is present. Translation: We have artillery, but is it enough? Ukrainian soldiers cannot operate American tanks. Let's show the world that the United States is here.

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."

When it comes to supporting Ukraine, we need to provide them with the weapons and training they need to win. Retired F-16 pilots are welcome to join the fight. I want Ukraine to be invited to join NATO in 2024. American weapons are being used effectively, and we hope to provide more support in the future.

US officials reaffirm support for Ukraine amid growing fighting. The administration says Obama has approved additional nonlethal military assistance for health, welfare items, and other supplies, while Kyiv’s government reports pro-Russian rebels have captured three bases in Eastern Ukraine. In response, Obama pledged €41 million in nonlethal aid, and lawmakers note Ukrainians need more military equipment—not just blankets or night-vision gear. Congress has cleared a bill authorizing roughly $350 million in military and related support, enabling potential provision of anti-tank weapons, radars, surveillance drones, and other systems, though the White House has not yet decided on lethal aid. A bipartisan push, led by Dick Durbin, urges lethal assistance. The Ukraine Freedom Act, passed last December, allows but does not require lethal and nonlethal aid; the House has urged Obama to send lethal weapons. The president’s decision is expected soon.

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.

Flashback: Mention of sending offensive equipment equals World War 3. US sending 31 tanks to Ukraine. Artillery insufficient. Budget request for pensions and social support. Continual flow of weapons and ammunition. $150 million in military aid pledged by President Biden. Total aid close to $130 billion. Additional $1 billion in military aid announced. Recap.

We're also wondering about the money situation in Ukraine. The U.S. has given over $174 billion and has inspectors on the ground to track it. Some of that money is spent here to build weapons systems that we send over, so it's not all sitting in a bank in Ukraine. Regarding elections, every democratic state has them, even during wars. The Ukrainian constitution currently prevents them until the war ends, but they will eventually need to hold them. That doesn't mean Zelensky should leave, but the willingness to have elections, even during wartime, is a sign of a healthy democracy. Next week, we're going to the Munich Security Conference, but reports that we're presenting a peace plan are false. I did not speak with that news network. If there is a peace plan, it will be presented by the President of the United States, not myself.

President Zelensky of Ukraine is seeking to negotiate a just peace and reclaim his country's sovereignty. The US is working with him on a 10-point formula to achieve this. Diplomatic efforts have been ongoing for months, with discussions held between national security advisors. In terms of military support, Ukraine has received everything they requested leading up to and during the counteroffensive. A recent package of assistance was provided, including F-16s and heavy armor. The US believes they have provided Ukraine with what they need to succeed in their defensive efforts.

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

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."

I spoke with President Macron, coordinating our actions, and with Belgium's Prime Minister regarding aid to Ukraine, the use of frozen Russian assets, and EU collaboration. Our team is acting on the promises made at yesterday's Kyiv support summit, which had over 40 participants. I thank everyone who was principled on this third anniversary of the full-scale invasion's start. Partners are ready to increase their support to achieve an honest peace that prevents future aggression. The UK will provide over $55 billion in military aid this year, and Norway confirms $35 billion in assistance. We also have support in energy security and humanitarian aid, with Spain providing €1 billion this year. Sweden is preparing to transfer air defense systems, and Denmark will provide an additional $285 million for weapons. We're working to increase our F16 fleet and aim to meet all planned targets this year.

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.

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.
