Kremlin says any new ‘colonial’ U.S. aid to Ukraine won’t change frontline situation:

The Kremlin said on Thursday that any new U.S. military aid for Ukraine would not change the situation at the front where Kyiv’s forces were in a poor position and cast such aid as part of a “colonial” policy which enriched the United States.

Mike Johnson, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has said he will hold a long-awaited vote on a new aid package as early as Saturday. The proposed package includes $60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine, of which $23.2 billion would be used to replenish U.S. weapons, stocks and facilities.

While the European Union has pledged more overall aid, the United States has given by far the biggest military contribution to help Ukraine fight Russia.

“Ukraine has to not only fight to provide profit for the Americans but it also has to fight to the last Ukrainian and is loaded up with debt,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “The favourite colonial policy of the United States of America.”

Peskov noted that “a very significant” part of the proposed aid would remain in the U.S. military-industrial complex.

“All experts and semi-experts can now see with the naked eye the situation on the front, which is far from favourable for the Ukrainian side, so this cannot change anything,” Peskov said of the aid package. —>READ MORE HERE

Donald Trump says Ukraine’s survival is important to US:

Donald Trump said on Thursday the survival of Ukraine is important to the United States, a shift in tone days before the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives is due to vote on a $61 billion aid package.

The former president did not endorse the package, and he dedicated most of his post on his Truth Social platform to complaining that America’s European allies are not spending enough to support Ukraine. Some hard-right Republicans interpreted the post as a signal that he opposes the current aid package, though Trump did not say that explicitly.

Still, the post seemed to be one of Trump’s first acknowledgements that Ukraine’s survival is an important U.S. security interest. During a CNN town hall last year, Trump refused to say whether he wanted Ukraine to win its war with Russia when questioned about the conflict.

“Why can’t Europe equalize or match the money put in by the United States of America in order to help a Country in desperate need?” he wrote on Thursday. —>READ MORE HERE
