Blinken announced the allocation of over US$1 billion to help Ukraine
There is no reason to hesitate to invest in Ukraine.
The administration and Congress need to consider making the $24 billion military aid package a much bigger number.
The U.S. is not giving cash to Ukraine - the dollar amount represents value of equipment provided, minimizing corruption risk.
The discussions over F-16 delivery to Ukraine that started in 2022 represented 'a year lost.'
The U.S. did nowhere near enough, nowhere fast enough in supporting Ukraine, even with the F-16 decision.
The US deliberately imposed an arms embargo on Ukraine from 2014 to 2017, denying military support after Russia's initial invasion
The US lifted the ban in 2017, providing Javelin anti-tank weapons which opened doors to other lethal assistance
