Top White House budget official warns of ‘dire’ situation on Ukraine aid

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s top budget official warned in stark terms Friday about the rapidly diminishing time that lawmakers have to replenish U.S. aid for Ukraine, as the fate of that money to Kyiv remains tied up in negotiations over immigration where a deal has so far been out of reach.

Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, stressed that there is no avenue to help Ukraine aside from Congress approving additional funding to help Kyiv as it fends off Russia in a war that is now nearly two years old. While the Pentagon has some limited authority to help Kyiv absent new funding from Capitol Hill, “that is not going to get big tranches of equipment into Ukraine,” Young said Friday.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s top budget official warned in stark terms Friday about the rapidly diminishing time that lawmakers have to replenish U.S. aid for Ukraine, as the fate of that money to Kyiv remains tied up in negotiations over immigration where a deal has so far been out of reach.

Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, stressed that there is no avenue to help Ukraine aside from Congress approving additional funding to help Kyiv as it fends off Russia in a war that is now nearly two years old.

Young also detailed the impact that a lack of additional U.S. aid would have on Ukraine aside from its military capabilities, such as Kyiv being able to pay its civil servants to ensure that its government can continue to function amid Russia’s barrage.

“Yes, Kyiv might have a little time from other donors to make sure they can keep their war footing, keep the civil service, but what happens in the (European Union), in other NATO allies, if the U.S. pulls out their support?” Young said during a breakfast with journalists Friday hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

Young, a veteran congressional budget staffer, added that the situation was “dire” and “certainly, we’ve bypassed my comfort level” in the time that has gone by since Congress greenlighted new funding for Ukraine.

That ask from Biden also included about $14 billion in managing and caring for the high number of migrants who continue to arrive at the southern border, and the president has said he is willing to negotiate with Republicans to accept some policy changes that would tighten asylum and other migration laws — a key demand of GOP lawmakers.

I don’t think the Democratic establishment will ever understand the simple fact that Republicans don’t negotiate in good faith. They are the party of grievance, and any successful negotiation would weaken their hold on their base.

combine the fact that pro-Russia events are popping up around the world with the likelihood that Russia had a hand in equipping Hamas to attack Israel and the end of US support for Ukraine…

Sure look like a criminal-fascist dictator about to be our new daddy.

Blaming Russia for Hamas lmao. Surely it had nothing to do with the 75 years of brutal oppression.

The anger and resentment was caused by Israel… The funding is coming from outside sources.

EvergreenGuru ,

All that means is that Hamas lacks the resources to resist genocide on their own. If we expect a people under siege to be able to fight off tanks with rocks, then we’re in support of their extermination.

Oh yeah raping people at music festivals is the best way ever to resist oppression.

You know, I remember when MLK raped people at music festivals. Same with Gandhi. That’s actually how the USA got independence from England; they picked a music festival in England, killed some people there, raped some, killed them too, and paraded their corpses around.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for some people to understand that you can have 2 evil organizations fighting each other. Unfortunately it’s the innocent civilians that pay the price for their deeds.

Feirdro ,

The genocide is helping Hamas keep power.

The people can’t throw these monkeys off their back, and all they want is eternal war because they’re millenarians who think they’re ordained by god to win in the end.

Israel is beyond delusional to think they can eliminate every single one of them. It’s beside the point anyway since Benny uses Hamas to stay in power, too.

    Russia has never been serious about negotiating. Also, they can just leave, maybe blame the actual imperialist invader?

    EvergreenGuru ,

    Yeah, I am. The Americans sponsored a coup in 2014 to overthrow the democratic government of Ukraine to expand their influence in Eastern Europe. Once the government was overthrown, the country fell into civil war.

    Russia tried to negotiate a peace to the civil war twice, with the Minsk Agreements. Then the Ukrainian coup regime refused to enact the agreements to end hostilities after being told by the Americans that they could join NATO and have nuclear weapons.

    Russia, understanding the threat of nuclear weapons being stationed on their border, invaded Ukraine in 2022 to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO.

    It’s fucking embarrassing that the Democrats have been the only ones really pushing for aide… the party of war hawks have made clear how flexible their core values are.

    go_go_gadget ,

    Maybe if Democrats were willing to use the aid for Israel as a bargaining chip they’d actually have some leverage.

    Syringe ,

    We’ve known for about a decade now that the Republicans are on the Russian payroll. The war in Ukraine impedes their goals and has stifled their funds. They are traitors to the United States and her people and enemies of democracy.

    How did our attention span get so short? The Russian invasion of Ukraine will never stop being a disaster for the people of Ukraine, the people of Russia, or the stability of civilization. It’s no less urgent now than it was at the start of the war, but lawmakers act as though it’s business as usual. Sad to see.

    pyrflie ,

    Attention span has nothing to do with it. One of our political parties (Republicans via PACs like the NRA) has relied on Russia for a ton of funding for about 20 years.

    Ukraine has impacted that party’s fundraising making the war a positional issue, especially since the party is dying with Boomers.

    Boomers should know better than anyone the dangers of Russia seeking unchecked power.

    Here’s some food for thought:

    Israel comes first.

    It always comes first.
