I don’t recall these concerned, fearful government “witnesses” bring up complaints about Ukraine’s security when Obama sent blankets to Ukraine to defend itself from Russian aggression. But years later, they complain about a 4 -week hold of the javelins Trump sent #SchiffShow
2014: White House rebuffs Ukraine appeal for weapons usat.ly/1s8usZI via @usatoday
WASHINGTON — The White House refused to include weapons in an aid package announced Thursday for embattled Ukraine despite an impassioned plea by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko for more military assistance.
The Obama administration is providing $46 million in non-lethal security assistance and $7 million for relief organizations providing humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians affected by the conflict between government forces and Russian-backed separatists in the eastern region.
The White House announcement came shortly after Poroshenko stood before a joint session of Congress and pleaded for more political support and military equipment beyond the non-lethal aid the United States has pledged.
Poroshenko said blankets and night-vision goggles from the USA are important, "but one cannot win a war with blankets!"
But, according to @TheDemocrats @HouseIntel and @RepAdamSchiff seem SOOO concerned about Ukraine’s security all of a sudden. And they have the audacity to claim Trump is aided Russia by withholding lethal aid.
.@TheDemocrats @HouseIntel @RepAdamSchiff “don’t give a f**k about Ukraine” (to use the words of one of the “witnesses”).
