Взагалі то я не за Трумпа. Але де проголошений для нас ленд- ліз? Теж потрапив у зону діскмфорта? Усі вони там такі…
Ukrainians have often asked why Lend-Lease isn’t operational.
Washington has clarified that Ukraine receives military assistance through three other American budget programs: Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), Foreign Military Financing (FMF), and Replenishment of US weapons stocks (PDA).
Unlike Lend-Lease, which involves leasing or lending weapons, these programs
provide free assistance to Ukraine, making them even more advantageous for Kyiv.
That’s why American and Ukrainian top officials have begun publicly referring to
Lend-Lease as a “backup” option.
The idea was that
if the US Congress refuses to allocate funds for these budgetary programs, then
Lend-Lease could come in handy.
According to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Oleh Nikolenko, one of the advantages of the Lend-Lease is that decisions on aid would be made quicker.
They would be approved the US Administration under a simplified procedure, without the need for voting for each package of aid in the Congress – a significant advantage given the current congressional gridlock.
However, this program would also require Ukraine’s future reimbursement for weapons, military equipment, and ammunition:
According to the BBC’s sources, Lend-Lease didn’t go into effect because the Biden administration preferred allocating funds directly to Ukraine rather than providing military equipment.
In this approach, Congress allocates funds, and the Pentagon, in coordination with the White House, decides how to use them for specific weapons and contracts with American manufacturers, which was considered more flexible than the Lend-Lease option.
Ukraine’s current Ambassador to the US, Oksana Markarova, is actively working to convince the Congress to extend the Lend-Lease Act.
"An amendment in the House of Representatives to
extend Lend-Lease for the entirety of 2024 has already passed.
It has been introduced in the Senate, and we are waiting for the conference between the House and the Senate where synchronization of the two bills will be decided”

Ти ж бачиш, у них навіть відповіді на питання немає, як вирішувати проблему з кордоном навіть у разі перемоги Трампа. Демократи погоджувались на жорсткий варіант, але ж тоді Додіку нема з чим йти на вибори, тому респи завалили власний погоджений законопроект. А що, після виборів Трамп буде ламати сенаторів через коліно заради 60 голосів?
