"We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding," John Kirby said.

“We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding,” John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”

The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

      This is not why the aid is being withheld. Idk what kind of fallacy this is but its a pretty disgusting one.

        Where did I say this is the reason why its being withheld currently by Republicans?

        I posted why I don’t want to continue providing funding and supplies in the way we have been.

          You posted something that doesn’t matter at all. Why don’t you post about the actual topic?

          You support republicans helping Russia unless Biden caves on treating asylum seakers as animals.

        Existential war for who? Its not for me or my neighbors. I feel for the people of Ukraine, but I don’t understand why suddenly the left is so hawkish to remain the world police. Where is your energy for every other conflict that happens?

        Yes, other aid we give has logistics tracking munitions like javelins… That’s why we requested it from Ukraine.

        If their situation is so dire, why are they in a position to reject basic record keeping requests?

        He’s being downvoted because this is not why the aid is being withheld by republicans.

        Unfortunately this instance is an echo chamber and the hive mind has already decided to blindly fund them no matter what.

        Ukraine has notable corruption problems and they actively reject our requests for inventory management while also doubling down on their demands for aid.

        I support Ukraine’s right to sovereignty and defense. But that doesn’t mean we must sign up for a blank check and a complete lack of basic accountability.
