i'm michael. ok, welcome to the program. us lawmakers are preparing to hold a crucial vote on aid for ukraine. the u. s. has been ukraine's biggest backer in its war against russia. but congress has not approved major funding since last year . mainly because of bickering across the political aisle, democratic lawmakers in congress had been pushing forward a major new weapons package for youth, strange and reminders. but the republican hardliners have been reluctant to provide funding to keep their now appears to be a cross party support for a $61000000000.00 package of the ukrainian forces on the front line have long to rush and they run munition right now. they're being out gunned by the russians in the eastern done yet, screeching president, low to me is and then ski signed his troops this week in the in battle of town of

chests. if you out which you cranes as russia, asians to capture in the coming weeks, he could handle metals for that bravery, but not the tools to do the job. so landscape has long appealed for more military aid for front line forces and the defense systems to protect cities like causes ukraine. second largest cities suffers almost daily attacks. we will create and use, it's a new current and they've been waiting for months for this. michael support package waiting for a button congress. as a result, the terrace confidence has been growing very style. some of the families that are at least the us has already given reco. it's sounds. do you claim the total? so for $75000000000.00 on crucially, maybe 2 thirds of it was ministry aid. the long awaited new package totals over 60000000000, while over a 3rd of it for the key of to buy advanced weapon systems on for us. false is to

provide training. the, the c i a has wound ukraine could lose the war by the end of the year without additional aid. the pentagon says it could get shipments moving within days, as it has stopped piles in europe, of just the weapons that ukraine so desperately needs. that's cost over to dw correspondence stuff on siemens who joins us now from washington. a stuff on this has been percolating for months as you well know. how is it that the vote at long last is scheduled to happen today? this well, i think the overwhelming a conclusion here and, and coming sense is that the pressure is got too hard or too big too, too significant for the republican let house of representatives to the speaker of the house, my johnson. and frankly, for america, the white house,

as well as the senate who passed a similar measures about 2 months ago. and ever since the white house is, is, is begging the house to, to bring up. there's a package, you know, the united states is aware of that it has obligations that it is the and proclaims itself to be the leader of the free world. but you can be a leader of the free world if you, if you don't need it. and apparently, if you don't, um, uh, put up your pack of pocket books and do what you're supposed to do, meaning helping ukraine, israel and taiwan. so there's a whole package $95000000000.00 which will be decided upon today. and that includes military uh, security assistance, as it says, uh for israel, for taiwan. and as we said here, $65.00 or $60000000000.00 for ukraine. so i think that was the reason pressures got really immense and, and, and too hard to ignore it in and not show why is this

a to ukraine still so controversial? this it is because there is a relatively small number of hotline republicans who say that though the united states can actually not afford to sell out of $60000000000.00 to ukraine, or almost $1415.00 to israel, and 8 to taiwan. because we have, or the united states has a $34.00 trillion dollar deficit. how, you know, budget deficit and national bank actually not deficit but national debt. and that is the reason why they say they are not on board with this. the other reason is, and that is important to is of course, the border or in a crate immigration situation at the us mexico border. and then it gets complicated because then we have to talk about donald trump and what he's, what his interests are to block any movement on this front, so to speak. because we have a presidential election this year. it's a dw,
