I've spent a long day in meetings regarding the war. I'm grateful to our partners who recognize the need for strong positions both on the front lines and in diplomacy. For every two dollars invested in our long-range capabilities, we're seeing almost ten dollars in losses for Russia, which is the dynamic we need. I spoke with President Macron, the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Norway and Canada, and the Presidents of Finland and South Africa. We coordinated our positions, discussed further steps, and the future of Europe. I emphasized the need to free all our prisoners held by Russia, and the necessity of a reliable security guarantee system, so that war does not return. I thank you for your help and your feeling of unity, which is as important now as it was in 2022.

I'm aligned with the USA and the world, and I want this conflict resolved. It's tough to deal with the hatred involved, but I want to see a deal done in Europe. I can be tough, but that won't get us a deal. For four years, tough talk didn't stop Putin. Diplomacy is the path. During Obama, Trump and Biden's terms, nobody stopped Putin from occupying parts of Ukraine. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke them. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about? It is disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and litigate this in front of the American media. Everyone has problems during war. You are gambling with World War Three and disrespecting a country that has backed you. Have you said thank you? You are running low on soldiers. We gave you $350 billion and military equipment. Without us, this war would have been over in two weeks. If you can get a ceasefire right now, I tell you you take it so the bullets stop flying and you meant stop getting. I gave you javelins. Obama gave sheets. He didn't break deals with me. If Russia breaks a ceasefire, what if a bomb drops on your head right now? I've empowered you to be a tough guy, and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without The United States. You're either gonna make a deal, or we're out.

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?

We're emphasizing to Ukraine the value of their rare earth materials as part of our support. We expect guarantees in return for the significant financial and equipment assistance we're providing. The European nations are lagging behind in their contributions, despite the closer proximity to the conflict. They should match our support, if not contribute even more, given their substantial financial resources. We're aiming to establish a deal with Ukraine where they secure our aid with their rare earth resources and other assets.

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've given a lot of money, potentially $350 billion, to address this issue. To ensure fairness, we need to equalize our contributions with Europe, as they've given a smaller percentage, around $100 billion, compared to our $300 billion plus. It is more important for them because they are closer to the conflict, while we have an ocean separating us. However, there's a lack of transparency regarding where this money is going. Despite giving hundreds of billions, I haven't seen any accounting of it. I want peace because I don't want to see any more people killed.

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.

Okay, so from the start of the war, everyone's facing problems. You might feel okay now because you have the ocean, but you will feel the effects later. Don't tell us how we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good and very strong. You're not in a good position right now. You're gambling with the lives of millions and risking World War III. It's disrespectful to this country; I've been more supportive than many others would have been. Have you said thank you at all during this meeting? You campaigned against us. Show some appreciation to the U.S. and the president trying to save your country. You are saying if you speak loudly about the war... He's not speaking loudly, your country is in big trouble, and you're not winning. We're staying strong and thankful, even though we've been alone since the beginning. You haven't been alone. We gave your president $350 billion for equipment. Without our military equipment, this war would've ended in two weeks or three days. I heard that from Putin. Can you just say thank you to the American people? Let's work through disagreements instead of fighting it out in the media when you're wrong.

Your country is in big trouble, and you're not winning. You have a good chance of being okay because we are staying in our country, staying strong. From the beginning of the war, we've been alone, and we are thankful. We gave you $350 billion and military equipment through the president. If you had our equipment, this war would've been over in two weeks, maybe even three days. I heard it from Putin. It's going to be hard to do business like this. I've said thank you many times to the American people. There are disagreements, but let's litigate them instead of fighting it out in the media when you're wrong. It's good for the American people to see what's going on. That's why I kept this going so long.

Patriot missiles and batteries are being planned for Ukraine. A full complement of Patriots will be provided. Some are expected to arrive very soon, within days. Countries that already have Patriots will swap them out and replace them with new ones. Matt will coordinate with NATO. Boris Pistorius, the German defense minister, is visiting the secretary of defense, Pete Hackett, to discuss the Patriot situation. Norway is also involved. The deal is broader than just Patriots and includes missiles and ammunition.

We're spending $350 billion, and Europe gets their money back as a loan, while we're just giving it away. Why didn't Biden demand equalization? Zelensky, a dictator without elections, better move fast or he won't have a country left. If he asks Biden for money, Biden says yes. What about the foreign bank accounts and the woman the FBI didn't interview? What if we started opening those bank accounts? He's compromised. I'm not saying that's happening, but it could happen.

That's your interpretation, not mine, and definitely not a betrayal. We acknowledge the significant commitment made over the years. As President Trump has noted, the U.S. has contributed the most to the Ukrainian mission, exceeding $300 billion. The United States has invested in stabilizing the front lines after Russian aggression. Therefore, there is no betrayal. The U.S., along with the rest of the world, is invested and interested in achieving a negotiated peace.

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.

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

We're not, spending any money on the war. The war is, being funded by NATO. NATO is buying our equipment. In fact, we're I don't wanna make money on that war. I don't wanna but we are actually making money on that war because they're buying our equipment, as you know. But we

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.

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.

Zelensky got the U.S. to spend $350 billion on a war that was unwinnable and unnecessary, a war that wouldn't have started under my presidency. Without U.S. involvement, this war will never end. The U.S. has spent far more than Europe, who will get their money back as a loan, unlike us. Why didn't Biden demand equalization, especially since this war affects Europe more? Zelensky admits half the money we sent is missing and refuses to hold elections. He played Biden, a dictator without elections needs to act fast. We will negotiate an end to the war with Russia because Biden and Europe have failed. Zelensky is upset he wasn't invited to Saudi Arabia. The losses are staggering, and Zelensky has done a terrible job. To end the war, you must talk to both sides, which hasn't happened for three years. We aim for a ceasefire and stability in Europe and the Middle East.

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.
