🚨Senator JD Vance issues a DIRE WARNING that the US can't produce enough weapons stock to support our own needs, let alone enough for Ukraine: “We need missiles. And America doesn't make nearly enough of those, not for our own security, and certainly not enough to support both the... Ukraine conflict and, God forbid, a conflict that might occur in East Asia. So let's specify that a little bit more. We are right now depleting critical munitions, missiles, artillery shells and bullets faster than we can replenish them. “And then we send them to Ukraine. I'm sorry. Why does that make an ounce of sense for our own national security? Shouldn't we rebuild our own manufacturing capacity before we spend all of it on Ukraine? Shouldn't we make more of our own weapons and gain some self-sufficiency in weapons manufacturing before we send all of those resources to Ukraine? “The answer of the United States Senate is apparently not."show more

The corrupt individuals pushing the Ukraine narrative are already puppets of others, so their loyalty to the U.S. is already compromised, why would it be an issue to them

Before our government spends ONE MORE DIME of taxpayer money on Ukraine, please explain what the American people have gotten from the ≈$200 BILLION taxpayer dollars we’ve already spent on Ukraine…

@JDVance1 We also need the Iron Dome that Trump suggested for our own defense.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump stated that the U.S. has not halted military aid to Ukraine, but needs to ensure it has enough weapons for its own defense. When asked why shipments were paused, he replied: “We haven’t stopped. We are supplying weapons, a lot of them. We're working with Ukraine, trying to help. But Biden drained our own stockpiles giving them weapons, and we need to make sure we have enough for ourselves.”

‼️ZELENSKYY: Ukraine is actively working on producing its own anti-ballistic systems to replace Patriots. At this point, Ukraine is already manufacturing its own weapons at the volumes it needs—specifically, millions of drones (including long-range ones), as well as artillery and shells. “In a long term we are working on the alternatives. Strategically, Ukraine should have its own anti-ballistic system. Our own. Or with those of our partners, strong partners who are really ready to work and who understand what kind of challenge it is. Ukraine has already achieved a lot, and the weapons that we produce now, and the weapons that really affect the situation at the front, we did not have them before. We’re now manufacturing them in exactly the volumes needed. We’re talking about millions of drones for the front, and our long-range drones, and our own artillery, our shells, which have not been produced before. The result of Ukraine's defense development should be its own range of key weapons and appropriate joint production, joint programs with our partners” - Ukrainian President on Monday, April 27th.

I want to thank all the partners who are helping us receive Patriot interceptors through PURL. By doing so, you are saving lives in Ukraine. But the current volume and pace of deliveries are not enough. We need more Patriot interceptors, and we need them delivered faster. That's why the key thing we need to do together is ensure continued support for our air defense so that Ukraine can defend itself against both cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. There are enough missiles in the world to provide that protection. What is needed is a political will to make sure Ukraine receives them. I recently sent a special letter to the President of the United States and to members of Congress on this issue, and I ask for your support in helping ensure a positive response. From an address to the participants of the NATO–Ukraine Council meeting in Kyiv (4/5).

President Zelensky: "The best weapons that are currently helping our warriors defend Ukraine should be produced in Ukraine. The development of our own weapons production is a top priority. In particular, artillery - L119 and M777 systems, armored vehicles - robust CV90. These are the weapons of BAE Systems, which is starting to operate in Ukraine. I met with the company's CEO, Charles Woodburn. It was a very productive meeting. The company's office in Ukraine. Localization of production in Ukraine. A joint result for the security of our country, the whole of Europe and the free world. Together we make freedom stronger. Thank you for your visit to Ukraine and the meaningful start of our cooperation!"

Hegseth: "We're going back to Congress and our folks there to ensure that we're properly funded…We're also still dealing with the environment that Joe Biden created, which was depleting those stockholds and not sending them to our own military but to Ukraine. Every time we reach back and look at any sort of challenge we have, it goes back to, 'Well, send it to Ukraine.' Ultimately, we think…these munitions are better spent in our own interests at this point."

🇨🇿 General Řehka: We depend on outcome of the war in Ukraine. So, supporting Ukraine isn't charity. It's in our vital interests. And we need to make sure, it's for our own good, that we integrate Ukraine into European and, hopefully, also into NATO structure as soon as possible.

As a result of these days, we see clear support from Europe. Even more unity, even more willingness to cooperate. Everyone is united on the main issue – for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees. And this is the position of all of Europe – the entire continent. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Türkiye. Of course, we understand the importance of America, and we are grateful for all the support we’ve received from the United States. There has not been a day when we haven’t felt gratitude. It’s gratitude for the preservation of our independence – our resilience in Ukraine is based on what our partners are doing for us – and for their own security. What we need is peace, not endless war. And that’s why we say security guarantees are the key to this.

Marco Rubio on Ukraine: The whole world is asking for more air interceptors. It's become the number one defense need on the planet, not just for Ukraine, but on the planet. Countries in the Middle East want it. I know Iran wishes they had interceptors, which they don't. I remind people the United States has needs, like we have our own defense needs. We have our own defense requirements. And before we can help others, we have to make sure that our stockpiles are always sufficient.

We are working with the United States to ensure that Ukraine still can receive the necessary number of Patriot systems. This is not an easy task, but it is one of the security guarantees for Ukraine – and it will work in the long term. In Washington, I spoke with defense companies that produce Patriots and other weapons we need. The willingness to work with Ukraine is fully sufficient – Ukraine is trusted. It is important that there be enough support for this at the political level in Washington.

‼️JUST NOW — powerful brief remarks by the leaders of Ukraine, the UK, France, and Germany in London: IN SHORT: Merz: “The coming days could be decisive for all of us. The destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe. Nobody should doubt our support for Ukraine. And this is what we are firmly standing behind. I'm skeptical about some of the details which we are seeing in the documents coming from the U.S. side.” Macron: "I think we have a lot of cards in our hands." Zelenskyy: "Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians." Starmer: "If there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. Matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine." FULL STATEMENTS: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "But the principles remain, the principles that we've operated on for a very, very long time, which is that we stand with Ukraine, and if there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. And that's why it's so important, that we repeatedly set out the principle forward that matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine. And we stand here to support you in the conflict and support you in the negotiations and make sure that this is a just and lasting settlement if we can get that far. You're very welcome for our discussions". President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Thank you very much, Kir. Thank you for organizing this meeting. Thank you, friends, Emmanuel and Friedrich, and thank you for our joint meeting. I think that it is very important now to organize such a meeting and discuss very sensitive issues regarding these talks that we had, in the United States and between us. Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians. I think there are lot of what we have to discuss and speak about. So there are a lot of things which are very important for today. I think, unity between Europe and Ukraine, and also unity between Europe, Ukraine, and the U.S. There are some things which we can't manage without Americans, things which we can't manage without Europe, and that's why we need to make some important decisions". President of France Emmanuel Macron: "And thank you Volodymyr for being with us. You are always welcome. In France, I think we all support Ukraine, and we all support peace. And peace negotiations to have sustainable, robust peace. And I think we have a lot of cards in our hands. The financing and the quality of equipments and training programs to Ukraine, the fact that Ukraine is resisting in this war, and the fact that the Russian economy is starting to suffer, especially after our latest sanctions and the US sanctions. And now I think the main issue is the convergence between our common positions, Europeans and Ukrainians, and the U.S. to finalize these, peace negotiations and re-engage in a new phase in the best possible conditions for Ukraine, for the Europeans, and for our collective security". Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz: "I highly appreciate that we are having the opportunity to see you, Volodymyr, together with Emmanuel, and talking about the upcoming days, because this could be a decisive time for all of us. We are trying to continue our support for Ukraine, as you know. On the other hand, we are seeing these talks and negotiations in Moscow and in the U.S. I'm looking forward to hear from you what the outcome of these talks might be. And we are still and remain strongly behind Ukraine and giving support to your country, because we all know that the destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe. So that's the reason why we are here, trying to figure out what we can do. And nobody should doubt on our support for Ukraine. And this is what we are firmly standing behind. And the outcome is open. I'm skeptical about some of the details which we are seeing in the documents coming from the U.S. side, but we have to talk about that. That's why we are here".

We are creating new joint weapons production with our partners. For the first time in history, Ukraine has begun building a joint plant with Denmark, on Danish territory, and it will produce components for our missiles and drones, weapons that are already proving highly effective. During this war, Ukraine has already reached the level where nearly 60 percent of the weapons in the hands of our warriors are Ukrainian-made – and they are strong weapons, many of them cutting-edge. Of course, there are goals we must still achieve, in particular the production in Ukraine and together with Ukraine different types of air defense systems. We must get there. Ukraine has already proven that in weapons production we are among the best in the world. I thank everyone who is developing Ukraine’s defense sector, designing new models of Ukrainian weapons, and driving the technological advancement of our country.

Our team is preparing four new security agreements for Ukraine. Negotiations will start soon, and we aim to swiftly finalize the documents for signing. These agreements will provide us with defense support, finances, and humanitarian cooperation. By then, we will have nearly thirty such agreements with our partners. Our goal is to include a diverse range of countries, not just NATO members. All of them are equally ready to help us defend our shared values. No matter what happens in the world, we need our own tools to support our people and state—our security arrangements that will work under any conditions. This is the way we are moving forward.
