U.S. delivers 80 tonnes of ammunition to Ukraine

Ukraine has received the fourth batch of defense aid from the United States, which included nearly 80 tonnes of munitions.

That’s according to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, Ukrinform reports referring to a Facebook post by the embassy’s press service on Sunday, November 14.

“Ukraine received today the delivery of approximately 80,000 kilos of ammunition from the United States. It was the fourth shipment made by the United States as part of $60 million in additional security assistance directed to Ukraine by President Biden in August,” the statement said.

The embassy added that this demonstrates U.S. “commitment to the success of a stable, democratic, and free Ukraine.”

The diplomats also recalled that since 2014, the United States had provided more than $2.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since 2014.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, a third, consignment of security assistance from the United States government arrived in Ukraine on October 22.

The two previous consignments were delivered on October 10 and 18. In addition to the previously agreed $250 million, Ukraine receives from American partners $60 million in medical supplies, ammunition, high-precision weapons, and radar surveillance.

Pretty interesting. I looked at Flightaware to determine some of the “5W’s” of the aircraft pictured. N702CK is a Boeing 747 operated by Kalitta Air. Kalitta regularly hauls contract cargo for DoD. The aircraft was last in Ukraine a couple weeks ago.

Well, at least we’re helping them in some way under Biden. I’m suprised.

  ‘Helping them’ – LOL. Bait more like. There is nothing in Ukraine for Russia but grief . Strategic depth up to a point , but modern weapons/cyber make much of that moot. The most fertile , prosperous and highly educated former SSR reduced to destitution and a pawn. Just like all the other former republics who adopted ‘western values’. The misery will continue until Poland finally retakes Galicia and Russia absorbs the east. ‘Ukraine’ was always a German and now EU project. The US is only to happy to stir the pot. Last time this happened all the gold in Europe fled to the USA. Capital flows are doing the same again. The only question is how much blood will flow and how much gas won’t. ‘When goods stop crossing frontiers, Armies do’ – Von Clauzewitz..
  
  For anyone idolizing the various East European leaders remember Hungary passed a ‘law’ with a massive majority to jail for up to 5 years anyone spreading ‘ disinformation about the pandemic’. Orban loves him some vaccines. Same forces at play in Polish government. Franco’s Spain was a miserable backwater suffering Civil War PTSD up into the ’80s.. They are all wolves taking orders from the Beast. Just like last time. Putin style competent management is about all that part of the world can hope for.

  40 trucks.
  That’s about one Brigade.
  
  So yeah. About an hour.
  Suppression is 9/10ths of the law in war.

May the Lord God Almighty lay low all tyrants of what ever nationality, ideology, race or ethnicity;
likewise all their enablers, manipulators, owners, (((bankers))), apologists, propagandists, idiotic voters and idolators, familiars and demonic manipulators. Into the lake of fire with them all.

If I have overlooked some class of vermin, please feel free to enumerate them and visit the same
prayer upon them.

Sociopaths, psychopaths and their thrall are the bane of human existence.

Seems like the bear is just playing with Ukraine. They could probably crush them in a few days if they get serious. Sadly, given the clown show at the Pentagon, it may just be a question of when.

Finally. Biden’s plan is clear. He will have Ukraine attack from the west and Afghanistan attack from the south! The culmination of 47 years of careful planning being realized. Of course by the time his dementia gets a hold of the plan, he will invite Putin for tea and crumpets. Everyday makes me glad to be a taxpayer!
