The US President Joe Biden has promised more military aid to Ukraine at the G7 summit of western leaders in Japan.

Mr Biden announced military assistance worth up to $375m. He told Ukraine’s President Zelensky who attended the summit that the US was doing everything it could to strengthen Ukraine’s defences in its war with Russia.

The new military support includes ammunition, artillery and armoured vehicles. President Biden also confirmed that he would allow European allies to provide US-built F16 military jets to Ukraine.

    The US need to stop giving Ukraine billions of dollars and start putting money in our economy. When Biden is out of office I think the money for Ukraine will dry up.

    Politicians tell us Social Security is going broke, all these billions to Ukraine are they loans or grants. Can we direct this money to the war on poverty that’s plaguing Americans.

    Ukraine deserves every help. And the 500 billion is not a huge amount of money for a good reason . Meanwhile Orban would block aids to Ukraine expects EU to help his country wit 15billion euro. How much money has gone needlessly for East Europe now everyone can wholeheartedly confirm a great reason for our future and for the future of our children.

    Зеленский – послушная марионетка в руках запада, который натравил его на Донбасс в 2014 году с целью развязать войну против России. Зеленский – это таракан в руках его западных хозяев – клопов, клещей и крыс. Лучше всего по поводу западных стран и их руководства высказался Владимир Шевельков: "Как Россия может договориться с клопами, клещами и крысами? Никак. Поскольку они паразиты, они рождены для того, чтобы сосать кровь и вести паразитический образ жизни". Поэтому паразиты на саммите G7 приказали Зеленскому продолжать вести войну против России. Зеленский взял под козырёк.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
