Biden makes surprise visit to Ukraine for first time since full-scale war began
President Joe Biden slipped into Kyiv on Monday for the first time since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost a year ago, demonstrating in dramatic personal fashion his commitment to the country and its struggle as the war enters an uncertain new phase.
The highly secretive visit – which took place as air raid sirens could be heard ringing out around Kyiv while Biden walked alongside President Volodymyr Zelensky around the gold-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral – comes at a critical moment in the 12-month conflict, with Russia preparing for an expected spring offensive and Ukraine hoping to soon retake territory.
Biden announced a half-billion dollars in new assistance, saying the package would include more military equipment, such as artillery ammunition, more javelins and Howitzers. And he said new sanctions would be imposed on Moscow later this week.
“One year later, Kyiv stands. And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands,” Biden said.
Another half-billion, which could have gone to dealing with the fallout of the train crash. And retrofitting trains with new brakes. Sheltering the homeless here in the U.S. Stopping people at the border. Stopping the flow of fentanyl at the border.
Biden’s visit made for a highly symbolic moment, coming a day ahead of a planned speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin marking the anniversary of the war. Speaking from Kyiv, Biden declared Putin’s “war of conquest is failing.”
“Putin thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided,” Biden said, standing alongside Zelensky. “He thought he could outlast us. I don’t think he’s thinking that right now.”
“He’s just been plain wrong,” Biden said of Putin. “One year later, the evidence is right here in this room. We stand here together.”
And how much aid and money are we giving Ukraine? What are they spending it on? And
(American Conservative) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the situation on the front lines as “tough,” noting that the Russians are attacking on multiple axes in the east and south. Oleksiy Arestovych, who until recently served as one of Zelensky’s top advisors, was more blunt: “I’m an unofficial person already, I can say what I want. If everyone thinks we’re guaranteed to win the war, it’s very unlikely,” he said in an interview.
These grim tidings may come as a surprise to most Western publics, which were told in no uncertain terms for the last eleven months that Ukraine is winning. One could hardly browse the news without coming across yet another article, often reposted from Ukrainian media or sourced from claims made by Ukrainian officials, positing that Russian forces are falling apart at the seams and collapsing on every front, mobilized soldiers are surrendering in droves and being given guns that can’t even shoot, Moscow has been or is on the verge of being crushed by sanctions, and, more recently, that time is on Ukraine’s side.
Yet those who have studied this conflict since its inception can clearly see that something has changed. The cavalier proclamations of 2022 have suddenly started to give way to more anxious, even pessimistic rhetoric.
It’s a never ending money pit. If only Biden cared as much about protecting Americans.
The man is an ass…

You really think that the American taxpayer should foot the bill for providing the privately owned immensely profitable railroads with new brakes? Obama tried to force the railroads to do it themselves, Trump stopped it
Are you shitting me ? You would prefer that over stopping Putin from taking over 15% of the global grain supply and being able to starve other countries into bankruptcy or submission?
Dark Brandon is leading all the NATO countries in their support for Ukraine. Just like Churchill did against Hitler and Reagan did when Russia tried to take Afghanistan. Do you not want to stand with the European democracies against Putin? You want to allow Putin to win?
Um, no he didn’t.
Have another toke, johnnie boy, praise Buddha!

Brakes? The derailment happened because the bearings on a railcar wheel failed. It had nothing to do with brakes.
And as far as Ukraine, we have no business being there in the first place. Let them fight it out on their own. We need to accept responsibility for spurring the Russians to attack in the first place because of our interference. The US/NATO/WEF were the real aggressors, hoping to destabilize Russia and get eir government to topple so we could go in and economically loot it.
Brakes on a Train!!
Mr Teach reallocating US resources for us!

Is that the responsibility of the federal government?
