The trouble with the farmer up to now has been that every time somebody has thought of relief for him it has been to make it so he could borrow more money. That’s what’s the matter with him now. What he needs is some way to pay back. Not some way to borrow more.

We currently have two regular financial contributors who chip in €20 per month. We're exceedingly grateful for their ongoing support, but at this level it does take a long time to build up a large enough fund to buy a significant amount of #medical #aid.
Following on from yesterday's post about unexploded landmines, we'd love to send some lifesaving CAT7 tourniquets to #Ukraine. They're around €35 each.

Trump wants to see more than just a minerals deal to restart aid and intel to Ukraine

For the ignorant #Americans who don't understand what US #aid to #Ukraine actually looks like:
- The vast majority of the #military aid the US is providing #Ukraine comes directly from existing military #stockpiles.
- These #weapons aren't brand new; they're mostly older stockpiles that the U.S. military planned to replace anyway.
- The #funding approved by Congress actually goes to American companies (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing) to build new, upgraded weapons for their OWN military.
#Kellogg on effect of US #military #aid and #intelligence cutoff to #Ukraine: "It's like hitting a mule in the face with a two by four, you know. You got their attention."
Good for Ukrainians to know that they are publicly described by their #American “partners” as farm animals who must be beaten into compliance.
The #Americans dismantled a transport platform of several hectares at the #Rzeszow #airbase, which was installed there back in 2021 to accommodate #military cargo arriving in #Poland and then transporting it to Ukraine.
#Trump is even having the airbase abilities to transport #weapons through Poland removed to assure that #aid to #Ukraine can no longer move through.
Dismantling concrete slabs, warehousing.
The #US has no intention of helping Ukraine again.
Trump's #extortion of Ukraine
#Trump has privately made clear to aides that a signed minerals deal between #Washington and #Kyiv won’t be enough to restart #aid and #intelligence sharing with the war-torn country, according an administration official and another U.S. official.
Trump wants the deal, which would give the U.S. a stake in Ukraine’s mineral resources, signed. But he also wants to see a change in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s attitude toward peace talks, the officials said, including a willingness to make #concessions such as giving up #territory to #Russia. Trump also wants Zelenskyy to make some movement toward #elections in #Ukraine and possibly toward stepping down as his country’s leader, the officials said.
