US announces new military aid package for Ukraine | DW News 

That 6 billion dollar package is a procurement, which means an order. Money is directly going towards the factories in the states. When will the weapons get produced? We do not know.

.... when the wars begins, politicians give ammunition, the rich gave foods and the poor give their children. When the war end politicians shake hands, the rich raise foods price, and the poors look for the grave of their childrens.... ~ Serbian proverb

To put this in perspective, this 6 billion is in addition the 60 billion announced earlier this week. So 66 Billion from the US taxpayers in 1 week If the latest 6 billion just just goes for PAC-3 Patriots, that's 1500 antiblastic missiles. He is right about the manpower problem; Ukraine is not conscripting men under 27 or women. If it wants to actually win it needs to put more "skin in the game"

The further west Russia advances, the more military aid Ukraine will get.

As regards manpower: The issue that was not mentioned is that an increase in air defense and airpower in general as well as ammunition is vital to reduce casualties. Hence, it is also vital to maintain manpower. Hence, there is something the was can do on manpower.

Complicity mean complicity

Hopefully Ukraine won't look at American history and how faithful they were to South Vietnam, or the Kurds, etc. Don't want to crush their dreams.

Isnt the cover photo the Patriot icon from Command and Conquer Generals

Win, lose or draw, those sanctions will not go away

What happened to the first patriot batteries 😅😅

The man power problem in Ukraine wouldn’t be at the same scale if they had been given far more western military equipment and training from the start! Get supporting faster whilst there is is still enough experienced fighters on the ground to make the best use of the weapon systems bought and given!

C'mon bring back the great Patriot Road Trip.

We do know that an increase in Western assistance is directly proportional to a decrease in the territory of Ukraine.

In History the arms Trafficking has always been fundamental for man both an economic than financial level; This conflict demonstrates this fact

6 billion dollars for Ukraine

Does it include new Ukrainian Soldiers 👀

So what on earth is the US and Europe waiting for in terms of "turning the tide"...it feels like there is some question as to how successful the US and Europe want the Ukraine to be. Vlad Vexler had a very good discussion on this a couple days ago....about the lack of strategy and actual goals the "west" seem to have in terms of Ukrainian "victory". We here in Central/Eastern Europe have been punching above our weight in terms of support...and know all too well Russian Revanchism and aims.

One of very few that are telling your viewers part of the truth.

Approximately 25-30,000 Ukrainians have been killed since Russia invaded Ukraine. On the home front in 2023, the United States passed 100,000 annual deaths in the fentanyl crisis. More casualties than Ukraine and Gaza combined.

Great, give them more money. I bet it wont stop there either!

😂 Germany is probably punching the air right now because didn't Germany give Ukraine air defense systems for Kyiv and did we not just see what been happening. I love this because this system is very expensive and the things needed to maintain it and the missiles are very limited so this is going to be a problem for Ukraine if Russia do a major offensive. Because Russia tends to bomb a region before sending recons and infantry in. So yeah it's as if zelensky the sleeper sale is desperate by sending patriots to the front lines.

Why do you want them to fight???????

Second hand.

First time he is being objective with his analysis

Thank God no Mike Martin this time !

LOVE IS THE WAY!

Russia has had the lend lease act both in favor and now against it…. Same outcome.

Europe needs to step it up on supplying Ukraine as well and quit sticking their heads in the sand. Otherwise I can promise you that the American voters will put an end to the aid once and for all

I love how the West is so hopeful 😂

This is a precise, sincere analysis I have ever heard on DW channel with regards to Russia military operation in Ukraine.

Let see how's end fighting between Russia 🇷🇺 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 🤔

scotus needs to debate for six months on whether the criminal x president's shoe color could make the criminal immune from prosecution.... go figure. Why should a criminal x president follow the constitution when scotus doesn't?

We heard similar analysis that Russia will loose when previous military weapons were given to Ukraine but Russia continue taking territories in Ukraine

Russia has already lost the moral high ground - It has lost also any advantage of a quick takeover and now is in a protracted war. Protracted wars like the one fought with Afghanistan are costly in expenditure and military and have a poor outcomes. Ukraine has the support of people who support freedom - ( The developed free world countries and countries with a sense of right from wrong - and Russia has the support of other dictators who at some point will fight with each other over any spoils and - when they don't get paid. i.e. Russia never paid its war debt to the USA so any loans from China and Iran - are unlikely to ever get paid back.

May the American Gods of War and Destruction bless us all and have mercy on us. Amen !

Nonsense! Then what? Ukraine will win back the territory? Absolute Nonsense!

Ukraine is scheduled to receive 5 new built Patriot Batteries scheduled to arrive between 2024 and the 5th arriving by 2026. This was revealed last year by the manufacturer

Nasam

Uas new country? Or usa

Ukrain 3 months counter offensive could not brake Russian defense built under 4 months… ok one years later they are coming to brake it with 60 billion 😂😂😂😂

There is a 50:50 chance life will still exist on earth by the end of this year. But, meh, who cares.

Where’s the first one 😂

Young Ukrainians men dying for useless old men..RIP 😢

DW is depressingly negative in its reporting on Ukraine. Always doom and gloom.

US keep Patriot missile for Taiwan. What? the China not going have military in Taiwan on a civil war. How many Patriot missile Israel used when IRAN launch 300 drones attacked. UKR and Israel need to more than Taiwan. US overcapacity of P.missile.

Still with ya Austin...

Yes Israel defensa de hierro

He said there is nothing the west can go about the manpower shortage… um send troops 😂😂

Lots of history between Russian & Ukraine.

Now Iran has tested the Israel iron dome and they know how to breakthrough it system 🎉😅😅😅

Why the need of air defence when Russia is out of missiles?

The world needs Positive change! We need love peace unity against this rich amd wealth telling is to conform to their system and it is mostly only benefiting them! Spread the word! The rich grow richer and the poor and middle class still don't have wants and needs met!!

Unbelievable did i hear mr Martin say Ukraine has been lying...give him a pay rise for stating the obviouse !

Those systems will not come anytime soon. Just like Ukraine will not get the full 61 billion dollars. Media outlets keep reporting about this 61 billion but fail to mention that a big chunk is going into our defense budget to build and replenish our weapons inventories. This was part of the bill passed on aid funding. Our politicians promised Ukraine weapons but again it has not been reported that it could take up to 6 years for delivery. This due to the fact the weapons manufacturers have to fill previous orders. Also some aid that had been previously promised could not reach the battlefield before 2025 or the earliest by summer. It’s all about money war is an industry any many politicians and prominent figures are the only ones that benefit from the pain. One more point, Ukraine needs to get their manpower shortages squared away and trained properly. Not this 3 week bs they’ve tried before. All it does is make cannon fodder for the Russians. Who I might add is not the same Russian military that started this whole mess from the beginning. From sources I’ve read is that for every one Ukrainian soldier there are 7-10 Russian soldiers. Weapons are not going to mean anything without a trained officer corps and soldiers. They will need to train and replace offers lost over the course of this conflict. Officers are not grown on trees they must be instructed on command procedures, tactics, combat formations, etc not given a group of green recruits and pointed to the frontline.

I don't think they can push russians back if they dont use F16 !

Equivalent of pocket money for the US. 😂 Pathetic hypocrisy from the americans. Compare this support to what they sent to Afghanistan and wasted it all.

ASK Mr PUTIN about peace !!!

A fool and his money are easily separated..The majority in Congress is a bunch of buffoons

Supplying minimum weapons required to keep running the meat grinder, NATO's objective.

On kmira

Vous aussi à quoi sert votre Stock ? Comme que vous êtes peureux et précieux donner l'Ukraine les stocks eux ils sont courageuse,et ils battent également pour vous les occidentaux Je parie même poutine attaque un pays membre de de soit disant OTAN ,ils ne ripostent pas,vu cet comportement étrange ,ils passeront tout leurs temps à faire des discours,en plus sur vous élu,il y a qui travaille pour poutine Depuis le Sénégal, vives aux courageux Ukrainiens🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Send more Force multiplier equipment.

US should prepare new aid budget every 6 months for 3 more years. Ukraine should also start recruiting millions of younger Ukrainians by force because this war would probably take 3 more years.

Gimme mo money Gimme mo patriots Gimme mo luxury houses

Wow, the GOP could have handled that for a win but instead messed around and turned it into a loss.

So what is the exchange for all that aid. The U.s cannot throw that money to ukraine without any trade off

Keep wasting money on this country which has no value whatsoever

So west can support Taiwan and seek cooperation with china so can china support russia and seek cooperation with west

. . . and what is Germany doing?

Thank You USA. God Bless America. God Bless Ukraine and all irs friends and steadfast allies.

Ukraine is fighting for their freedom and sovereignty and Russia is fighting for territory and greed!! Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 always.

Very good ❤

Probably impossible, but somehow they need to get the defense missile cost down to $100K. Then, it becomes a huge advantage.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

ok... $300k for each patriot missile against a $5k drone... you'll run out missiles before drones

WARMONGERS WILL GET THEIR WAR 😢

In 1945, the great American General G. Patton said "we have defeated the wrong enemy" In 2024, the great American President J. Biden will correct this historical oversight

All will be scrap metal very soon

noooooo america has to close its borders first and make ukraine lose faster!! now my rent and energy bills wont go down

Thanx for your update, mate. 🕊️✨

Ukraine should be given everything and military capabilities that they can defend their territory and defeats Russian aggression,DW thank you for the insights. Glory to Ukraine!

Meanwhile in USA schools are falling apart and the number of homeless is on the rise. We do however have plenty of money to send to Ukraine for a war

God Bless Ukraine with Victory and Justice ⚖️

Meanwhile, We - The US Tax Payers - are tightening our belts.

Russia's hypersonic missiles are smiling, 😁

expensive "patriot" against Russian shovels?

This happened 2 years ago and no results for Ukraine. Money wasted

❤❤❤

Frank the armchair expert giving advice from his PC in England! What a joke

Weapons without soldiers is just a gift for the Russians 😂

DW ukraine is advancing everyday towards poland i think you guys should report on it

US debts are increasing very quickly and more to more !😅😅

lots of coping and whining nato bots 🥺 while ukraine keep advancing towards poland 🤭

Frank, I greatly appreciate your perspectives! Putler must be stopped 💪🇺🇦

Viva RUSSIAN Viva President Putin RUSSIAN Z❤🇷🇺

More money 💰 down the 🚽

🇺🇦❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

Europe has 100 Patriot systems currently. Perhaps send some of your Patriots?

Looks as though the Ukraine is not going to make it. Since the West lacks the nerve to get involved, it would have been wiser for the Ukraine to join Russia from the start as a new USSR.

SLAVA RUSSIA
