President Biden authorizes $800 million of military aid to assist Ukraine in their fight against Russia.
RELATED: President Biden delivers remarks on Ukraine
President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that an additional $800 million in military aid will be sent to Ukraine, just hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's address to the U.S. Congress, a speech Biden called "convincing." Biden said the U.S. is adding to its assistance, which now totals $1 billion just this week, to help "fend off Russia's assault."
"America is leading this effort, together with our allies and partners, providing enormous levels of security and humanitarian assistance that we're adding to today, and we're going to do more in the days and weeks ahead," he said, adding the fight is "about the right of people to determine their own future, about making sure Ukraine never will be a victory for Putin, no matter what advances he makes on the battlefield."

@Eris Discordia the sheep love to live in fantasy world
@Eris Discordia so then you agree with the comment joking about how imaginary the economy is.
Study the removal of the gold standard and the evolution of currency. You will be surprised.
This is America and Britain’s fault, there warmongering pushing Nato up against Russia’s borders coused this, if they had kept out of Europe this would of never happened, there just after Russian oil and gas they are using Ukraine for a future war on Russia by fueling the fire with hatred propaganda on Russia , we have seen this all before with the so called war on weapons of mass destruction and the Afghanistan war were thousands of civilians British and American soldier’s lost there lives for nothing , it’s the same old story over and over again, and we are all paying for this out of our wage packets here in Britain and America in taxes , and I’m sick and tired of it, we should defend our borders only and help our people first, there are families who have to rely on food bank’s , cancer patients that can’t get treatment, fuel prices have soared business are going and have gone bankrupt , we are Brexit here in Britain , and that was meant to be out of Europe wasn’t it no meddling from Europe in our affairs that’s why Boris got rid of the European Court of human rights because Britain was under investigation for human rights violations against its own citizens and currently all funding has been cut but yet Johnson has just sent one hundred and seventy four million pounds to Zelensky, how can this be right when we suffer here, this crap by Biden and Johnson is putting all of our lives at risk with there medaling and warmongering , this could cause a Nuclear war with Russia and millions of us would die, if Ukraine and Russia can’t get on it’s there business not ours here in Britain or America …
@Eris Discordia You used the term “you people” now everyone knows you are a racist.
Tell the Taliban to send their stock to Ukraine. Tax payers don’t need to pay for anymore of useless wars for pissing contest.
I know elderly people that cry because they can’t afford their medication:7 I know people who need to go to the doctor and they can’t afford to go to the emergency room no compassion for them: they’ve paid taxes in this country all of their lives.
maybe people should stop voting for republicans if they want to accomplish something.

America needs to do something about this soon before it’s too late. We’re all in need but the politicians don’t see it
Do something about a delusional old man that can barely speak? Yeah, that ship has sailed.
IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE IN AMERICA’S HOMELAND IT’S TIME FOR A REVOLUTIONIZE AMERICA’S GOVERNMENT IT’S TIME FOR A REVOLUTIONARY WAR WITHIN AMERICA’S GOVERNMENT. IT’S TIME
Yeah, they pass two 7 trillion dollar bills and cause inflation.
@Americas Americas It’s been time for a long time bro. This so called “foreign legion” that includes American’s, would rather go over and die in Ukraine than to stay here and take on the real enemies. People are delusional.. our city’s burned, mom and pop stores torched to cinders, our children taught filth in public schools, our monuments to our founders and ancestors torn from they’re pedestals and replaced with crude mockery’s. Locked down for two years like criminals. Backdoor gun control being passes through congress unopposed even by these so called Republicans. Patriots like Duncan Lemp murdered in they’re sleep by public officials who swore a solemn oath to uphold and defend the constitution and the people…our enemy’s are not over there, our enemy’s are right here and they have been for a very long time now.

Ten percent for the Big Guy, Nice 80 mil kickback.
Great job Brandon! Us hard working Americans can hardly afford to fill our tanks and buy groceries but sure, let’s give more money away!
I have a few bucks I could send your way if you’re scraping bottom. Also some week old bread and a few taters. Hang in there Cooter.
These last two years of spending have definitely went way beyond the debt anticipated for the future generations.
And the Fed is anticipating six more rate hikes in 2023 I want them Democrats just doing great , NOT
Okay but IM BROKE and I don’t want to give my money to a conflict I have nothing to do with. It may sound selfish but this is our tax money and I’m trying to get out of debt! Not easy with these gas prices
FJBiden should have Ukraine go help themselves to the weapons we left in Afghanistan.
$800 million to go over seas yet we have folks being evicted and starving here lol makes no sense.
Quit being racist
