The Armed Forces for 5% of the Pentagon budget was disposed of 50% of the Russian Federation: Republican Christie on the support of Kiev (video)

This was stated by a member of the Republican Party of the United States and a possible candidate for the 2024 presidential election (Chris) Christie on the broadcast of Fox News. During a dialogue with a journalist, a politician made arguments that skeptical -minded US citizens could persuade Ukraine. He indicated that the US Department of Defense is currently spending 5% of the annual budget for Kiev military assistance.

Having received this weapon, the Ukrainian defense forces destroyed half of Russian equipment on the battlefield: that is, a 10 -fold win. Christie stressed that the US government should provide even more support. This should be done in order to fulfill the promise, given to partners and allies. "We need to do it because if this does not happen, our other world allies doubt whether or not our promises are worth it. " It should be noted that Christie visited Ukraine in August 2023.

Then he saw the consequences of Russian crimes in Bucha and met with President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. Christie then assured that the US would continue to support the Ukrainian people. Chris Christie is a 61-year-old Republican, chairman of the US Governor Association. To date, he participates in the primaries of this party, during which there is a competition between different candidates within this political force.

The latest surveys of the Republican Party have shown that the results of Christie - in 8th place, and in the first - Expatamic Donald Trump, who doubts whether Ukraine needs to help. Meanwhile, in the House of Representatives of the United States, the US chosen a new speaker - he became a Republican Mike Johnson. The FOX News speaker said the US government would be more powerful to assist the Armed Forces rather than inhibit the support of their shackles.

However, there has not been a vote on Ukraine's $ 61 billion assistance, as President Joe Biden suggested. Republicans insist that they will solve the issues separately - after the assistance of Israel. We remind that the media reported that Johnson continues to resist Biden's proposals to put the issue of allocation of funds. Meanwhile, US special services are trying to prevent Russian special operation in South America: publish the same data as on the eve of the invasion of February 24.
