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.

Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be sustained to safeguard our collective security.

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.

Today has been emotional, highlighting President Zelensky's fearless leadership and inspiration. He emphasized that Ukraine needs help urgently, not in the future. The U.S. must provide more lethal aid, including MIGs for air superiority and surface-to-air missiles. This support will demonstrate to Putin that NATO allies are united behind Ukraine. We should facilitate Poland's transfer of MIGs to Ukrainian pilots and ensure Ukraine receives the necessary support. America must stand for freedom; failing to do so could have repercussions at home. We know Putin's ambitions extend beyond Ukraine, so it's crucial to protect our homeland while assisting those in need.

The speaker states that there are plans to send more weapons to Ukraine, confirming that the country will receive additional arms. The speaker emphasizes that this action is necessary: “We have to. They they have to be able to defend themselves.” The speaker asserts that Ukraine is being attacked and hit hard, describing the situation with repetition to underscore the intensity: “They're getting hit very hard now,” followed by “They're getting hit very hard.” The speaker reiterates the need for further weapon deliveries, saying, “We're gonna have to send more weapons.” The emphasis is on defensive capabilities, with a clear indication that the weapons being sent are primarily defensive in nature: “Your defensive weapons primarily.” Throughout, the message conveys that the defense of Ukraine requires continued and increased military support in the form of weapons, due to the heavy blows Ukraine is sustaining.

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.

Germany has 12 Patriot systems and has already provided some to Poland. It is uncertain if Germany will relinquish all 12 batteries, and if those batteries factored into the 17 Patriot batteries being discussed. Spain is a potential source of Patriot batteries, but they have very few. It is questionable if Spain is willing to give up its Patriot capability, given production bottlenecks. There are questions about who gets Patriot replacements first, as other nations are buying them and the United States wants to divert them to Ukraine. The speaker believes there is wishful thinking without detailed negotiation, guarantees, and money. Questions remain about the source of funding and congressional authorization. The speaker suggests the arrangement is nonstandard and driven by political aspects related to Donald Trump's image rather than legitimate national security concerns.

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.

Today was emotional, highlighting President Zelensky as a fearless and inspirational leader. He emphasized the urgent need for assistance—today, not tomorrow. The U.S. must provide lethal aid, including MIGs for air superiority and surface-to-air missiles. This support will demonstrate to Putin that NATO allies stand united behind Ukraine. We should facilitate Poland's transfer of MiGs to Ukrainian pilots and ensure Ukraine receives the necessary support. America must uphold the values of freedom, as neglecting this could lead to consequences at home. Putin's ambitions extend beyond Ukraine, so it's crucial to protect our homeland while helping those in need. 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."

NATO Allies have increased military support for Ukraine since 2014, with a focus on transitioning to modern NATO standard equipment and building defense institutions. The commitment is to provide assistance for as long as needed.

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

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.

Britain is a major and fast supporter of Ukraine, providing diplomatic, economic, and military aid. It was among the first to supply weapons after Russia's illegal attack and the first to sign a new security partnership. Britain is the first to announce a multi-year funding package for Ukraine, allocating £3 billion annually for as long as needed. This support is crucial because Ukraine faces challenges on land despite successes in the Black Sea. The multi-year commitment aims to encourage other nations to do the same. Supporting Ukraine is vital for its territorial integrity and for broader European and British security. Failure to adequately support Ukraine could lead to a more dangerous world if Putin achieves a victory. Investing in Ukraine's security is an investment in Britain's own security and prosperity.

Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be continued to safeguard our interests.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aiding Ukraine is the most cost-effective way for the US to enhance its security as the Ukrainians are the ones fighting and dying. The US and Europe provide them with weapons to resist Putin. Having been to Kyiv twice, it is clear that Ukraine is a European country with a strong desire to align with the West. It would be astonishing if the US were to abandon Ukraine at this crucial time.

Europe must quickly increase its support for Ukraine as artillery shells, air defense interceptors, and drone production capabilities dwindle. Europe could use proposals and potentially collateralize frozen Russian assets to act fast. The speaker is concerned about the cutoff of intelligence streams from the U.S. and pressure on allies like the UK not to use US intelligence for their own weapons. The primary purpose of US intelligence has been to give Ukrainians advanced warning of Russian attacks. Key weapon systems require support from US satellite queuing and the military GPS system to hit their targets. Without this support, more Ukrainians will die, and Europe cannot replace this capability quickly.

A year ago, Putin invaded Ukraine, aiming to weaken the U.S. and challenge Western dominance. Instead, the brave Ukrainians, with our help, have decimated nearly half of Russia's military. Supporting Ukraine is in our best interest and a worthy investment. We've provided effective weapons while maintaining strict oversight. This support sends a strong message to China and ensures our own military readiness with American-made equipment. The Ukrainian heroes have defended their homeland, serving the free world. Now, we must honor our commitment and provide them with the arms they need to win.
