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.

Germany is demonstrating leadership in supporting Ukraine and is the largest European provider of military aid. Germany has decided to send a third Patriot system to Ukraine. The speaker urges other allies to follow Germany's example.

American taxpayers are not only funding weapons, but also providing support to Ukraine in various ways. This includes buying seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers, covering the salaries of 57,000 first responders, and funding rescue teams like the one training a dog named Joy to search for survivors in the aftermath of Russian strikes. The US also supports divers who clear unexploded ammunition from rivers, making them safe for swimming and fishing. Due to Russia's invasion, Ukraine's economy has shrunk by about a third, and to help sustain it, the US government is subsidizing small businesses.

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."

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

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."

American taxpayers are not only funding weapons, but also providing support to Ukraine in various ways. This includes buying seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers, covering the salaries of all 57,000 first responders, and funding rescue operations after Russian strikes. The US also supports divers who clear unexploded ammunition from rivers, making them safe for swimming and fishing. Due to Russia's invasion, Ukraine's economy has shrunk by about a third, and to help sustain it, the US government is subsidizing small businesses.

Canada has committed $2.4 billion in aid to Ukraine and continues to support them. They recently announced the delivery of 50 armored medical vehicles and 11 million rounds of ammunition. Canada is working closely with GDLS in London to accelerate production and ensure quick delivery. There has been no reduction in their commitment to Ukraine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ukraine, a NATO member, receives increased military aid, including heavy weapons. Cooperation among countries is improving, particularly regarding providing Leopards. Supporting Ukraine with heavy weapons is crucial for ending the war sooner.

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.

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.
