The worrying thing is, that Russia is gaining ground in the Donbas, very slowly, though micro step, by micro step, with progress.

So, the implementation of the $40B needs to come fast, very fast. Oh, and please roll-up Russia too, otherwise, we have another encounter in 10 years.
I don’t think the threat of nukes after an illegal claim that it is now Russia is a go’er..
As for the £40 billion, I just cannot understand the levels of resistance in some posts on the web from US citizens, somewhere they seem to miss the fact that a lot of it entails arming Ukraine with American weapons that are being produced in the USA, so a lot of that money is going into the US economy generating jobs at home.
