A $61bn package of military aid for Ukraine could be signed off within days. So what weapons might it receive and what difference could they make in trying to stem Russian advances?

Air defence systems, mid to long-range missiles and artillery shells remain the most pressing weaponry needed by Ukraine.

Here is where the US aid could go in these three areas.

    What site even is this? Seems illegitimate.

    In any case, what does this have to do with Ukraine’s defense? Even if the article were true, should we not support Ukraine because the First Lady bought jewelry?

    If the implication is that the aid money goes to buying the First Lady jewelry that’s a total joke. Almost all of it goes to American arms manufacturers. It doesn’t even leave the United States.

    Edit: Yup… made up.

    Looking at the dates of Zelenska’s visit and other surrounding information, the claim is almost certainly made up.

    The receipt in the video is dated September 22, 2023, when Zelenska was in Ottawa, Canada, with Zelensky. The pair visited the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, with Zelensky giving an address mid-afternoon that day.

      It arguably gets better than that - the 61 billion was already spent on making the things; Ukraine isn’t just getting $61 billion handed over to it lol

        Did I even look at it? I quoted it in my reply. So, yah!

        As for sources, you yourself have provided one no one has even heard of before. And, no one has even heard of you before with your one day old account and single post about this topic, so maybe try a little harder next time if you’re going to spread Russian propaganda.
