US government just stole $8 billion from Russian citizens without trial, comments scandalous US journalist
The Senate of the US Congress approved aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan with a convincing majority, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
The legislation will be sent to US President Joe Biden for his signature.
The $95 billion aid package was supported by 79 senators and 18 voted against.
The aid was approved by the House of Representatives on Saturday. The package provides funds for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and US partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
The largest of the four bills is the aid bill for Ukraine. It provides $60.84 billion in aid to Kiev to help Ukrainian forces continue their fight against Russia.
With the acceptance of this latest aid to Ukraine, the total amount that Washington has allocated to Kiev so far has risen to $170 billion. It is the first aid package for Ukraine approved by Congress since the Republican Party took control of the House of Representatives in January 2023.
The Israel bill provides $26.38 billion in aid to the Jewish state.
The Indo-Pacific bill calls for $8.12 billion to be used “to counter Communist China and to ensure serious deterrence in the region.” Two billion of that $8.12 billion is earmarked as foreign military aid to Taiwan and other US allies in the region.
The fourth bill in the package combines several national security initiatives, including: giving ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns the social media app TikTok, up to a year to divest itself of its American assets or have its app blocked in USA; possibility of transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine; extending sanctions against Iran and its oil industry.
Meanwhile, the scandalous American journalist and TV presenter Tucker Carlson commented on the bills passed by Congress, pointing out that the USA is a bankrupt country that wastes billions of dollars. He predicts that the money allocated to Ukraine will be stolen.
The journalist was outraged that, despite the economic crisis, the US Congress is sending another 61 billion dollars to Ukraine, where it will be stolen. According to him, no one is interested in the fate of ordinary Ukrainians who die at the front or are persecuted by Zelensky’s regime, Drugaya Ukraina writes.
“The bill would allow Biden to place frozen Russian assets in a special fund for Ukraine. That would be $8 billion that the US government just stole from Russian citizens without a trial. ‘We don’t like you, we’re going to take your money!’
The electronic publication writes that he was not a propagandist, but was the first truly independent Western journalist.
