Коли я чую, що США надали Україні сотні мільярдів доларів, зокрема 177 мільярдів, хочу уточнити: ми отримали лише понад 75 мільярдів. З цих 177 або 200 мільярдів, про які говорять, ми ніколи не отримували. Це важливо, адже ми отримували не гроші, а зброю — на понад 70 мільярдів. Також були навчання, транспорт та гуманітарні програми. Тому, коли стверджують, що Україна отримала 200 мільярдів для підтримки армії, це неправда. Я не знаю, куди поділися ці гроші. --- When I hear that the U.S. has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions, specifically 177 billion, I want to clarify: we have received only over 75 billion. Of the 177 or 200 billion mentioned, we have never received that amount. This is important because we received not money, but weapons — over 70 billion. There were also training, transport, and humanitarian programs. So, when it is claimed that Ukraine received 200 billion to support the army, that is not true. I don't know where that money went.

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.

We have an abundance of money for funding war machinery and foreign aid, like $8 billion to Ukraine. We also support Ukrainian businesses and banks with taxpayer funds. Humanitarian aid often ends up in corrupt hands due to lack of oversight.

We recently discovered errors in valuing equipment provided to Ukraine, resulting in overestimation. The corrected total for FY 23 is $3.6 billion and for FY 22 is $2.6 billion, totaling $6.2 billion. These errors did not affect support to Ukraine or PDAs. The DOD can use recaptured PDAs, but it doesn't impact Congress-approved funding for Ukraine.

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.

So right now, as we speak tonight, there are two THAAD missile batteries in Israel. That's one quarter of the world's total supply of THAAD missile batteries. They are American military personnel, and they are manning these batteries to protect Israel. And that shouldn't surprise you because since 10/07/2023, which is a little less than two years ago, The United States has spent at minimum $30,000,000,000 defending Israel. Israel is by far, no one comes close, the largest recipient of USAID over time and currently. They don't know how disproportionate our attention to Israel and our spending on Israel is relative to the rest of the world.

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

From the start of the war, we have been alone, but we are thankful for the support we have received. We are staying in our country and remaining strong. You have not been alone. Through this president, we have given you $350 billion and military equipment. You are brave, but our military had to be utilized.

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.

Up to half the weapons we send Ukraine are being sold, not by guess, but by fact. A significant portion ends up in the hands of drug cartels at our border. Intelligence agencies are aware of this, and I believe they profit from it. Billions of dollars' worth of arms are being stolen and sold to our enemies. Zelensky denied these claims in an interview, and the media simply reported his denial. However, it's a fact that one can easily purchase Ukrainian weapons online. This is a crime.

Thanks to contributions, over $2,000,000,000 worth of enemy equipment has been destroyed. Western taxpayers should realize their governments are sending money abroad instead of developing their own healthcare systems. There are also housing problems, salary issues, and migration matters that need addressing at home, such as providing jobs to migrants.

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.

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.

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

Inconsistencies in equipment valuation for Ukraine were found, totaling $6.2 billion.

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.

We're talking about $2.3 billion saved, but where's the proof? You won't be satisfied until you see the 10,000 pages of evidence. Specifics are needed. If we have to go to Congress, we will show where the money is going. Some details have emerged, like the $59 million spent on luxury hotels, but that was FEMA money abused for migrants. I'm not saying it's okay, don't put words in my mouth. The portrayal isn't factually accurate. I saw what FEMA does, I believe it. These are congressionally appropriate funds.

There's a new report out from the Defense IG stating that American defense officials didn't fully account for nearly 40,000 weapons that the U.S. provided to Ukraine. These are sensitive materials, small enough to be bartered or put on the black market. I'd refer you to the Defense Department for a more detailed reaction. Speaking broadly, we've been interested in improving accountability over the end use of the material provided to Ukraine for many months now. We've discussed this with our Ukrainian partners, and they share our concerns about accountability.

The speaker asks how much support the U.S. gives to Israel. The response is approximately $3 billion a year in military assistance. It is asserted that this military assistance is the only assistance Israel receives from the U.S. There is a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the $3 billion annual amount.

We are staying in our country and staying strong. From the beginning of the war, we've been alone, and we are thankful. But you haven't been alone. Through this president, we gave you three hundred and fifty billion dollars in military equipment. You men are brave, but you had to use our military.

I recently attended a meeting in an expensive Alpine town, overwhelmingly populated by wealthy Ukrainians spending lavishly. This is a pattern across Europe; the richest people are Ukrainian. This money, I believe, should belong to American taxpayers. Furthermore, I know that a significant portion, possibly half, of the arms we send to Ukraine are being sold, some ending up with drug cartels on our border. Our intelligence agencies are aware of this. The media reports Zelensky's denials, but the New York Times could easily order Ukrainian weapons online—this is a fact. The official death toll is likely a lie; the entire situation is a deception. Sending billions in aid without tracking its use is irresponsible, and the possibility of these weapons being used against us is terrifying. This situation mirrors the issues we faced with the Mujahideen in the 80s. The lack of transparency and accountability is appalling.
