[000:00:00;00] the business, the, the news live from breland, the us house of representatives, passes edge into the need that aid for ukraine. the $61000000000.00 package provides fresh rep when we add munitions to keep us a fights back against russian forces attempting to capture it's territory. meanwhile, ukraine's army builds improvised weapons to make up for diminishing aid and military supplies to dw series. the reports of books of household activity as being pieced together to keep so just
11:01 am
the hi, i'm eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. lawmakers in the united states have passed the crucial 61000000000, the aid package for ukraine. the bill have broad bypasses and supports with $311.00 volts in favor. to $112.00 votes against public ends have delayed the bill for months due to cross spots. the rounding. washington has been ukraine's largest buckeye and its war against russia. the bill and i'll go to the sentence where it's expected to pass in the coming days. the premium pressed in the blood method lensky has lobbied long and hard for continued us support. we have this to say after the vote. the cause. i think every one who supported dell package, this is a like saving decisions. i am grateful personally to speak of mike johnson,
11:02 am
to all american hearts who like us and ukraine, feel that russian evil definitely should not prevail. so i hope that the package will be considered in the us senate and submitted to president biden's desk. quickly enough to look at shifting asks you to use what i'm doing croft, what the money is, expect that to be useful. well, most of it is for the us actually it's for weapons manufacturers and the weapons industry in the united states. is this something that critics of this spending kind of were fast and loose with saying, you know, trying to frame it is some kind of gift to ukraine or free money or money leaving the united states? remember, most of these weapons are american weapons. yeah. they have to be built like produced and bought somewhere and that's mean out of state. so most of these billions going right back into the us economy,
11:03 am
into the us weapons sector and to the us military. some of this money is for quote, operations in the region for the us military and something i found also very interesting in this bill is it raises a to an unspecified amount the president's own ability to use his so called draw down authority. now remember, congress officially has the constitutional right to control spending of us tax payer money. but over a long period of time, the executive branch, the president, has gotten considerable wiggle room and how much money she has to play with in his own coffers. that's one way that ukraine has been getting funded all this time, even without congressional support, through this draw down a funds within the defense department, for example, or the state department for example. and that this bill raises the president's ability to do that. so in the future, if these problems come up where congress is dragging its feet in improving more money, the president might have more wiggle room to spend some of his own us walking around money shot,
11:04 am
we say use william glo craft military analyst mike martin told me what your green code gas with $61000000000.00 worth of 8 a. it's a, it's a huge amounts of money and is actually worth saying that $61000000000.00 is more money than the total amount of american aid from january to insurance to, to january 2024. so it's an uplift of a scale that we haven't yet seen in this part of the war on a lot of that is going to be spent on things like altura munition, which case is she g lacking at the moment? an ad defense is as well. we seen these terrible arabs of the ukrainian cities so that sounds like, definitely good news. how much of a difference still could this aid make for ukraine's fight against russ asked thing, stand this not much. developmental from the side. is that?
11:05 am
yeah, i think you know, the phrase game change is used so much in the ukraine war and actually most the time, things on a game changer. but actually this is a bit of a tiny point. this 3 things really that you need to fly to will you need the will to fight a new cranes got bought. you need the manpower. and recently they just changed that mobilization laws to increase the ability to, to conscripts people and build a bigger army. and now you see the 3rd thing that you need, which is results is and those results is going to start to flow pretty quickly. some of them are pre positioned already. and as you had some of the cus, ministry operations in the region. and so it should start to make a difference in the coming days and weeks obviously wants has got senate and presidential approval. i mean, as you see, ukrainian soldiers have run solo on munitions that impacts the question. really because you seem to suggest that this aid could actually be the
11:06 am
a to make the difference. so isn't really enough to at least balance things out for your brain and even maybe take the lead against russia and as well. this i think take the lead is perhaps guiding a bit saw, and of course we really need to look forward to what happens in the us presidential election. but i think i think we need to make no bones about this. this is a seismic shift in the funding and the resulting of a war on when will, you know, we, if you look at, was that drug own and for say 2345 years. look at the world was for instance, in the, in the, in become about economic nights. how much can you supply your troops with things like i munition and fuel and all that kind of stuff on this bill does, is it really sets the scene, the cranes have the tools that it needs to finish the job being create in the army as one in a rush and offensive as looming,
11:07 am
what more does it need from its allies to push back crashes advisors on his surgery? so we've already spoken about alternately, ammunition, and if you look at the amounts of ought to be followed by the 2 sides, the russians are sort of out, shoots in, the cravings tend to one in some areas. so that's usually important because the ukrainians almost immediately they can start rationing cause they know that as most surprise coming and they can start to do counts about 34. so that's very important . we also have an your listeners, your view is, might remember about 8 months ago it was agreed, the f sixteens were going to be given to ukraine. and these as well. we've seen over the recent weeks and months, the russian ad dominance has increased because ukraine hasn't been able to fly as many sophie's through lack of money. so with those f sixteens and with these, these extra supplies will start to see more of an even match in the at. so all of
11:08 am
these things combined will start to make a difference and you cry. and suddenly we'll be able to, uh, you know, there's been a bit of back sliding in the training positions recently because of like us, it was certainly they'll be able to hold the russians advances. and i wouldn't worry so much now about this about this russian offensive. there's been muted, military analyst, mike martin now as aide has dwindled ukrainians have been forced to improvise. to keep the front line troops supplied it of use and they kind of need takes a look at how they are coping and this exclusive reports from the ukranian lead tree facility. this type of scrap was once an em 77 artillery gun. it's just a tiny part of the weapons graveyard that this ukrainian military facility, it's where west the military tech comes from the front lines to prove to weston donors that it's being used as intended. but more importantly,
11:09 am
to be salvaged. this one is over american counterparts, just can't keep their heads around it. and when they see what we do, they don't have to words, let me know when they will. they wouldn't even think about sending this kind of stuff to scrap, let alone repairing it, easily. guns sent to us that you could still recognizes artillery pieces. so that's not always the case anymore. it's not like we have a choice with western arms deliveries which used to trickle these ukraine. you know, many engineers have to improvise. they call it kind of believes them here making one function, while tillery gone from what's left of many damaged ones. the engineers who tell us they know just to drop off and deliveries half way through 2023 even before the current funding delay back fence. initial weston stockpiles were exhausted. after a year of war, new production. it's still a good job. what because here are essentially putting together puzzles of different parts every single day, some new, some salvage, and some can provide for what they come in with shrapnel injuries,
11:10 am
but we managed to get them healthy again. you could think he was speaking to a doctor, but the fighting the front lines is so intense. this man's patients are often back in the repair shop within weeks posting to find out situations where the same gun comes back to me with a fresh damage or 2 or 3 of or even 3 fall times on chef. when i push the almost finished. and it's ready to go back to the front lines, thoughts of the way it in the there's only so much that kind of blogging damaged equipment can do that. so i don't expect that solutions come in as this was stripped from a commercial digger. so to improve solution in the guns manual, but it works. ukrainian firms and i also producing many of the simplest bags, but the premium, we don't need an american build screws and rubber seals who can only put people if we can do all that ourselves. that's what we need or the big parts simply can't
11:11 am
make ourselves less than what if we don't get them, i guess we'll find a way. we'll put something together out of that, the scrap that we have. but it's going to cost me your time wasted only for the personal family chest time that you create new troops and the front lines don't have russia is already taking advantage of ukraine's declining fire power to push forward us a detailed up any longer. many here in ukraine, worried that the slow retreat of recent months could soon turn into a route that small star is making headlines around a well, that's a got some of the us house of representatives. as also about women. we approved a bill grant and billions and military systems to israel. the 26000000000 that i package is expected to go before the sentence on tuesday. about 9000000000 has been in max for humanitarian relief for civilians and conflicts on security that increase we guys actually done on a or and another landmark bill from us house lawmakers effectively binding the
