US President Donald Trump is discussing a plan for providing military assistance to Ukraine for hundreds of millions of dollars, reports Politico with reference to informed sources.

It is expected that the first potential assistance package from the current American administration will be allocated through the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA, presidential orders to write off weapons). In this fund, approved by Congress in 2024 under Joe Bayden, about $ 3.8 billion are still available. Trump can spend them without the approval of Congress using his presidential powers. Earlier, Reuters reported that the assistance package can be about $ 300 million, and it will include missiles for Patriot complexes and medium -range missiles.

Until now, the Trump administration has sent only the weapons, which was approved by Biden. In early July, it became known that the United States suspended the supply of some ammunition to Ukraine. On July 11, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said that the supply of American weapons has been resumed.

Recently, Donald Trump is increasingly expressing his discontent and disappointment by the fact that Russia is delaying peace negotiations and actively continuing the fighting in Ukraine. The US President promised that on July 14 he would make an “important statement in Russia”, but did not reveal any details.

Despite the changed rhetoric, there is little evidence that the White House has really changed his policy in favor of Kiev, writes Financial Times with reference to two high -ranking European officials participating in negotiations with Washington on Defense and Security.

According to the interlocutors of the publication, the Western allies of Ukraine still believe that Trump is inclined to consider Vladimir Putin as his main partner in negotiations on peaceful settlement, and Vladimir Zelensky as the main obstacle to achieving an employment agreement.

“Judging by the change of tone, some excessive excitement is felt. But we do not see that this grew into serious actions, ”one of the officials said in an interview with FT.

At the same time, notes the publication, Vladimir Zelensky achieved significant success in communicating with Donald Trump after the famous skirmish in the White House . European leaders suggested the President of Ukraine how to change the tone of communication with the US President, more often expressing his praise and gratitude for support, various interlocutors of FT say.

War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

Pavel (Lisbon). For three years, the Russians have changed tectonically. It became difficult for me to communicate with relatives. When an elderly aunt, a little older than Putin and a little younger than Trump, calls from Moscow to congratulate me on the other son, all over the will ends with a conversation about “our boys”, with which someone sends some high-quality food to them there, “ah what well done”. How to react? I want “their boys” to choke on a rat poison, die and finally lagged behind Ukraine. And she called to congratulate her son. As a result, negativity and anger come in a conversation from me, and I feel guilty. Although I did not kill anyone, I did not bomb and hate those who kill and bomb. But this is today's paradox.

The war continues not because of Putin. The war continues because “their boys” are supported by millions of good grandparents, aunts and uncles who sincerely give the last shirt, undergo any hardships, will drink turpentine and eat a bark of toilet paper, just to multiply the area of the largest country of the world for two more dumb to the root of the village. Patriotism is evil. All the most terrible things in the history of mankind occurred because of a love for the homeland. It deprives a person of the ability to think and compare the facts, replacing thinking of the habit of adjusting reality to convenient ideas about it. Well, for the Russians, the Motherland is also traditionally equal to the leader, the boss, due to purely cultural historical reasons. However, someone there manages not to love Putin, but to support the war-this is the most, of course, a mystery. And there is also a category of normal people who, from 2022, hurriedly began to look for “unnecessaryness” in Ukraine, Europe, America and all-all-all outside of Great Rus'. “Oh, xxxls also got into the residential building, entered the Kursk region-well, so they are the same, they themselves are to blame, you can live on, cheers-ura.”

Someone is an explanation in psychology, probably. I even partially understand such a phenomenon: if you do not find an excuse for what is happening for yourself, living in the Russian Federation, you can easily go with a cuckoo. But I cannot respect such people. Nevertheless, the presence of brains is a burden that imposes the obligation to at least see logical connections between phenomena. And in this regard, burned zesttniki without a brain cause even more respect. Initially, they were like that, they did not deceive themselves and did not hide their opportunism from anyone. And those who understood everything, but convinced themselves of the normality or the illness of what was happening-well, these are completely miserable creatures.

Once I thought that Putin would die and everything would be fine. But now it is clear that Putin is in the heads of the Russians, and there he will never die. The pale moth, the slurred schmuck fed by millions of enthusiasm, the official reading and the servility of such good ordinary Russian people and turned into evil. The kind, the nearby grandfather Shevchuk did not understand that his homeland is exactly what the president’s ass, and not at all the grandmother of the poor at the station . Because it is the grandmother at the station that votes for Putin, war, murder and “our boys”. Sincerely, with all my heart and at the call of the heart.
