2:25:02 what he meant earlier when he said that only half of the approved 177 billion reached Ukraine is a feature of those aid packages, there are a lot of funds for "strengthening defense" in Europe (spending on the American contingent) in connection with the war, rather than providing something specific Ukraine itself. But at the same time, all this was served under the sauce of helping Ukraine. Well, however, as in all laws from the Democrats. But when he says that weapons were mainly provided, this is not true. No more than 40 billion were delivered under the PDA fund, and supplies under the USAI fund will reach Ukraine by 27-30 at best. At the same time, there are a lot of various packages to support the Ukrainian budget. I have a feeling that he doesn't fully understand the difference between the PDA and USAI funds, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the 177 billion figure, because it's just a figure on paper that doesn't relate to what was actually provided.
I was really waiting for him to say something about the Lend Lease law. The Democrats just buried him, and he could have been a real salvation.
