After the video intervention of his Ukrainian counterpart in the United States Congress, the US President announced, Wednesday, a new $ 800 million aid package.
To convince the Americans to take an interest in the outside world, it is recommended to talk to them as well. VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY has perfectly managed to play this spring, Wednesday, March 16, during its video conference speech before the elected representatives of the United States Congress. Welcomed by a standing ovation, the Ukrainian President, in Khaki T-shirt, spoke to his audience of the torture of his people, his resistance against the Russian army. But he mainly maintained, even amplified, the flame of bipartisan mobilization in favor of Ukraine, a kind of miracle in itself in America fractured at the time.
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY praised the support provided by the United States, while exercising a public pressure on Joe Biden, in a way that respectfully and skilfully. “You are the leader of your great nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world. Being the leader of the world means being the leader of peace.”
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY spoke to the Americans of themselves, presidential figures carved in Mount Rushmore, Martin Luther King and two turns in their history: the attack of the Japanese forces against the basis of Pearl Harbor, in 1941, and the attacks of September 11, 2001. What report? The air threat. “I have a need. I need to protect our sky,” he said.
As expected, it claimed a “No Fly Zone” – an aerial exclusion zone – knowing that the Biden administration is not favorable because of an immediate escalation risk With Russia. “Is it too much to ask?” He wondered, admitting a useful alternative: the provision of anti-airline defense systems, type S-300.
biden: “Yes, [Putin , it’s a war criminal “
With a long delay on the schedule initially planned, as if he had to adjust his speech to that of his Ukrainian counterpart, Joe Biden then took the floor, at the White House, to evoke a new package $ 800 million military aid (725 million euros) to kyiv. “We will give Ukraine weapons to fight and defend themselves throughout the difficult days that are in front of her,” said the American president.
And this time, the White House has decided to detail the content of the help, to illustrate the importance of the effort consented. The United States will effectively facilitate the transfer of new longer-reaching anti-aircraft defense systems, such as some European countries, which are invited to yield them. In addition, the package includes attack drones, 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems (adding to 600 others previously delivered), 2,000 Javelin anti-tank missiles, 6,000 AT-4 rocket launchers, not counting 100 grenade launchers , 5,000 rifles or 400 machine guns.
