    Ukraine got nothing from USA half of 2023 and start of 2024.

    Again…huh?

    The US did a “final drawdown” in December of 2023 sending military aid worth about 250 Million dollars.

    There was 100 Million the month before, in November of 2023.

    As near as I can tell the longest run was January of 2024 into April of 2024 which is only 4 months. Still too long but that’s way different than 8 months.

    I think you are misremembering the political theater around approving more for 2024 and interpreting it to mean we didn’t send anything in the back half of 2023.

      Maybe I do, but to be honest, the aid November and December is peanuts compared to the 60 billion package. Of course it’s not nothing, but it’s on a level comparable to a tiny country like Denmark, with only a 50th the population of USA.

      So OK maybe not nothing, but very little.
