Biden announces additional $150 million in Ukrainian military aid

The administration previously asked Congress to approve $33 billion in aid to Ukraine, though the legislature has yet to allocate the funds.

President Joe Biden on Friday announced another round of military aid to Ukraine to help the Eastern European nation combat an ongoing invasion by Russia.

“Today, the United States is continuing our strong support for the brave people of Ukraine as they defend their country against Russia’s ongoing aggression,” Biden said, according to The Hill.

The aid package will reportedly consist of $150 million worth of artillery munitions, radars, and equipment, the outlet noted.

Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 and, though attempts to take the capital have thus far failed, Moscow has solidified control over much of the Ukrainian coastline and eastern provinces.

Biden pressed Congress to approve more direct aid to Kyiv, asserting that the allocated resources for helping Ukraine were running dry. "With today’s announcement, my Administration has nearly exhausted funding that can be used to send security assistance through drawdown authorities for Ukraine," he said.

“For Ukraine to succeed in this next phase of war its international partners, including the U.S., must continue to demonstrate our unity and our resolve to keep the weapons and ammunition flowing to Ukraine, without interruption," he continued. "Congress should quickly provide the requested funding to strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield and at the negotiating table.”

The administration previously asked Congress to approve $33 billion in aid to Ukraine, though the legislature has yet to allocate the funds.

In addition to funding, Washington has also supplied military equipment, including Javelin missile systems, to Kyiv to such a degree that defense officials have worried about the remaining inventory in the American arsenal being insufficient for the nation's own operations.

Dinesh D’Souza Speaks At Save America Rally In PA: “In This Movie, We Show That There Are At Least 400,000 FRAUDULENT VOTES – TRUMP WON THE 2020 ELECTION”

Patriots in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, are gearing up for another jam-packed Save America rally following the release of Dinesh D’Souza and True The Vote’s bombshell documentary exposing the “2000 Mules” that were employed to steal the 2020 Presidential Election from President Trump.

The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump would screen the movie at his rally tonight in Pennsylvania.

Patriots are weathering the “torrential downpour” just to see their favorite President live in action. “This is by far the wettest rally I have ever seen,” said Save America attorney Christina Bobb.

Tens of thousands are willing to stand in the cold rain for President Trump, the most popular President in American history.

The 2020 election was rigged and stolen.

A transgender woman was sentenced Friday to 25 years in prison for forcing the 7-year-old daughter she fathered to participate in child pornography.

Marina Volz, 32, of Franklin, was sentenced, along with three others, by Superior Court Judge Peter Tober for their roles in running a child pornography production company in their Coburn Lane home in Franklin Township.

Also sentenced Friday were Ashley D. Romero, 28, formerly known as Adam Romero, Sean Allen, 54, and Dulcinea Gnecco, 21.

Assistant Somerset County Prosecutor Brian Stack told the judge that the quartet was a "vortex of darkness" that "snuffed out" the girl who was taken from her mother in Oregon to New Jersey to be in the child pornography.

"They are incapable of redemption," Stack said, adding that it was "difficult to find the words" to describe the crime.

"They're bad people," he said.

The four have not "to this day" accepted full responsibility and have blamed others, he said.

But it's clear from their text messages and other evidence that they were all responsible, he said.

Stack read a letter from the girl's grandmother who said the victim will "never be the person she could have been" because of the crime.

"You all got off lightly," the grandmother wrote.

The girl has since been adopted by relatives and Volz has surrendered all parental rights.

"She will never see her child again," said Anthony Cowell, Volz's public defender.

While not delving into the details of the crime, Tober said it involved neck collars, a cage in the basement, sex toys and other devices.

"If this was not heinous, cruel and depraved, I don't know what is," the judge said.

The judge said the girl was taken across the country "solely for the sexual gratification" of others.

Tober said that it will be years before the full extent of the harm to the girl will be known.

"I can't wrap my head around what happened in this case," Cowell said, adding the evidence was "some of the worst images I have ever seen in my life."

But Cowell said Volz has "taken some responsibility" and "wants to be better."

A report by the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Avenel concluded Volz was not a sexually violent predator, Cowell said.

"She's not a monster," he said. "She's not an animal."

Cowell agreed that the child has "suffered grievously" and it will be years before all the symptoms of the trauma "will come to the surface."
