Russia is currently producing more artillery shells than all NATO countries combined. And European countries still buy oil and gas from Russia.

Money doesn't win wars. Soldiers do.

Why america didn't win in vietnam and Afghanistan if having trillions means winning ?

This is not an Ukraine deal. This is an European and American military industrial complex deal and all of their executives couldn’t care less about Ukrainian lives.

Next time Zelensky will be asking for another aid package and complaining that this one wasnt enough.

once you see the bbc propaganda, you cannot unsee it

Ukraine has two hopes of winning this conflict...No Hope and Bob Hope...

Still boasting of a victory? Ukraine will be lucky if it still has a country and 1/2 of its territories by end of the war.

Let wait for the next complain after the 60 billion

We sent unprecedented amount of money to Ukraine before this package. It all left Ukraine in ruins and needing more and more aid. What’s the end game?

I have never heard so much rubbish in my life.

Zelensky can certainly buy that holiday home now plus a few flashy toys.

What will $60 billion do that $113 billion has failed to do?

We were told last year the failed counter offensive would be a great success and Russian defense lines were just a minor inconvenience!

Last week - 'the aid package would seal russia's fate'. This week - 'it could perhaps help'. Next week - 'just isn't enough to make real difference'.

Who actually believes ukraine has a chance is out of their mind. Stop this bs people are dying.

Not in a million years mate

Ukraine has NO chance of victory. Fixed it for ya!

Its not going to help. Ukraine has been given over 200 billion by multiple countries and they are losing territory daily.

bbc should be held accountable for being complicit in this murderous foolishness

What about the Spring Offensive? They lost all the gains within DAYS of it ending...

We keep hearing Ukraine can win if we give them more money, they’ve been saying the same thing for years!! Yet they keep loosing.

mark my words, Zelenskiy will start begging again after some time again

Ukraine lost the war in the first month fighting US and Europe’s proxy war. All this money will do is prolong the suffering.

My friend lives in Odessa. He told me the military are picking up anyone they can off public buses and work places to be sent to the meat grinder.

Yap, the 60bn will do what the 130b failed to do.😅😅😅😅

So we've sent around half a trilion so far but this, THIS 60 billion will do it. Sure

Ah well at least someone is making money.After the war Ukraine is going to need men because even before the war there was more women than men.

“When the dog us dead, the fleas will leave.” Putin bayu

Why don’t these politicians help there own country and why are the people accepting their tax being used in war which no wants to be apart of??

I'm embarrassed and ashamed of the politicians in my country. Far too many lives have been lost, not to mention momentum, time, and land. I'm so sorry, I hope you're able to put this funding to good use! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇦

Such a huge ammount can never be sanctioned for the aid of the poor, betterment of humankind in Africa and other parts of the world. The world is full of hypocrisy. For killings and wars you have a lot of money and to feed the poor, betterment you have limited amount just to show that you are concerned.

R.I.P Taxpayers

Who controls how "western" money is distributed in Ukraine? Why is no one saying how much the fortune of the former provincial third-rate actor has grown? What are the State Department's blacklists for and why is Biden's son not on that list? May you ask these questions?

Isnt that whats being said everytime Ukraine gets an aid package approved.. then shortly after that Ukraine announces their loses are due to aid not coming fast enough, then again they need more aid! Just a little while ago there wasnt enough fighters...

Completely dismayed last week, the US, Britain, and France rushed to defend Israel against a barrage of Iranian missiles and armed drones. Whilst the destruction of Ukraine happens in their own backyard.

"ukraine has a chance of victory".... Why you lying?

Why the people dont understand is the Russian army got more guns soldiers and they can replacement very quickly the package dont make difference

They forgot to allocate money to Afghanistan...

Zelensky , quit now sunshine. Your BS ain't cutting it.

We'll see how much makes it to the front lines, corruption runs deep.

What would happen to Mexico if it was going to join a Russia led military alliance?

Ukraine’s top negotiator, Davyd Arakhamia: Russia was “prepared to end the war if we agreed to... neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO.” But the US and UK stood in the way.

Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.

I don't think Ukraine will have some success in the battlefield. Because they are lack of soldiers.

Its a game changer, says British media. The all been told to say the same thing😂😂

What if there's no victory after extra time? Will there be a rematch or will they decide it on penalties?

You can't buy a victory with dollars😅😅😅 Ask Afganistan and Iraq😁

“chance of victory” can be anything from 1/∞ till 100%

This aid is absolutely critical for Ukraine's resistance. Many thanks to the US.

the sad reality is the bankers and corporations receive the aid along with paid politicians while the common person struggles to work and pays for it with no justice in the world

Use it wisely its your war to win not ours.

Just stop the propaganda

"It's steered...." The reason for the objection in the US over throwing more money at the war, is that agreeing to the peace treaty that was available 2 YEARS AGO would mean wasting less lives and money.

How do you engage In a fight expect to be begging everything needed

ukraine has lost the war. the goverment need to make deal with russians and not give away ukrainian young man lifes just to satisfy americans.

Im not sure which "static trenches" are being reported on. They've lost 3 highly strategic towns in the last 14 days, something that the BBC does not wish to report. And here's something else, anyone spot an Iron Cross at 1:25?

Russia has taking that aid package a while ago into account on their planning. It can't stop the steamroller.

........the WAR are not meant to end but rather continuous.....

America will soon need military aid, and no one will help 😅

Why give more money. They need to negotiate a peace deal.

lol.. the box ticker , only lasted 5 secs🙈😂😂😂

Please stop misleading Ukranians into believing they can have a victory against Russians. Even if all the European armies join in the fight it won’t lead to Ukraine victory. Encourage Ukranians and Russians to make peace.

Financial aid. Auxiliary weapons. Food aid. It's just eye-popping. But the destruction and destruction of a country. It is a pile of tears of the people. War is a sin. Peace is a blessing.😢

I began ignoring most of the news regarding this war after it became increasingly obvious the narrative forecast by the media and what actually came to pass were entirely different. The size of the split between the rhetoric and reality is so vast that I find these news reports completely and utterly pointless.

The last billion dollar "aid packadge" didnt move the frontlines at all but THIS one is surely gonna make a HUGE diffrence 😉

BBC has always sounded like a joke. Now, it is a very bad joke. Almost unbearable. I feel really sorry for 15, 9 million subscribers. It is not easy to be brainwashed on a regular basis.

Not so long ago, Ukraine's counter offensive worthed more than $60 billions, and what's the result???

Sweet..

The US has now spent 19.2% of its 2023 Defense Budget on Ukraine. The Total spent to date including the EU should be somewhere north of USD 280 billion and Russia is still conquering territory. It seems there is a lot of spending needed in Ukraine. May be another package of 400 billion should be sent to Ukraine and see if it may make a difference.

My hat is off to those Ukraine boys, they have a set of BALLS. Best money America has ever spent.

Hahaha oh wow "has a chance" does not sound optimistic for Ukraine, does it? 😂😂😂

West can do and give more! Shame

Everybody was told that with previous year 75 billion US aid package, Ukraine has a chance for a victory. Looks like never ending story.

They told us , Ukraine was winning the war & now they telling us they got a chance win the war 😏😂

And a month or 2 later, more $$$$ aid and a year after years. Watch and see!

The sheer _number_ of isolationists, appeasers and doves in this comment section would make Neville Chamberlain so proud🥺

what he says is in direct contention with what Zelensky says. 61 billion is kopeks and how much will actually reach them. And who will use them! Green reluctant recruits of exhausted front line soldiers who have been there for years who already has e PSD

It will make a huge difference to the bank acounts of zel and his corrupt pals. ?

Six months from now, more and more aid will be needed again.. this current one is just to prolong the eventuality so pls start preparing another aid again from now..!!

Is the BBC videos section where all the Russian trolls go to hang out? ("Resistance is useless-- Ukraine will be assimilated!!", etc.) I've never seen so many of them.

(1:45) Am I only one confused by the “Niki” label?)

Ukraine has “chance of victory” - No, this only prolongs the suffering on both sides.

And what happens after this money /ammo runs out, these Ukrainians are delusional.

Does the reporter not know that only 13.5 billion dollars is going to Ukraine to mainly pay salaries of government officials? The US has for far spent 400 billion dollars and Ukraine is still loosing so what will 13.5 billion dollars achieve?Can it manufacture human beings since Ukraine is also running out of men?

It will still take 3 months before the first weapons reach the battlefield.....to late

You mean MICs deals!!! the money never goes to Ukrainian for sure😂

Zelensky said.... LOL In reality the West has spent around 150 billion USD so far and that did not stop Russia. Actually after an initial series of minor setbacks they now produce more weapons than ever, have significantly improved their battle management skills and their determination is as strong as ever.

Let's take a dispassionate look. What's with the weapons? Russia, with its production of weapons, tanks and missiles, is the first manufacturer and exporter in the world. Even now during the war, Russia sells combat aircraft abroad. Apparently she's fine with the weapon. What about the army? The only PARTIAL mobilization was in 2022. What about the economy? Russia ended 2023 with GDP growth of 3% is one of the best indicators. like in Europe. the same way all over the world. If we take the 15-20 largest economies in the world, only India, China, Brazil and Mexico have higher growth. As we see, not a single NATO or EU country. What do we have in Ukraine? What kind of weapons does Ukraine actually produce? There is not even a single cartridge factory in Ukraine. Everything has collapsed in 30 years of independence. Sometimes he assembles armored vehicles piece by piece from foreign units, but to call this factory production is simply ridiculous. What about the army? Eternal, endless UNIVERSAL mobilization, no one can tell how many waves have passed. Only at the beginning of the war, based on indirect signs, such as mobilization orders, 1.5 million soldiers were sent to the front. Now they are recruiting another 500 thousand. People are caught on the streets by people in camouflage. There are a lot of videos online about how people prefer to drown in Tisza on the border with Romania, just to avoid falling into the clutches of the Ukrainian TsK. THE AVERAGE age of a soldier on the front line is 44 years. How many more people can be gathered from an empty Ukraine? After 2 revolutions, this is literally the most endangered poor and corrupt country in Europe (look at the WHO and World Bank data) In 1992, there were 52 million people in Ukraine, 22 years later, minus 7 million, by 2014 there were 45 million left. Over the next 8 years after the coup, another 7 million died or fled the country. Result, 38 by 2022. Since the beginning of the Northeast Military District, another 13-18 million have disappeared from Ukraine. Now the population is estimated at 20-25 million, of which 11-12 million are pensioners; old people do not want, and cannot, due to poverty, flee the country in which they have lived their whole lives. Ukraine’s mobilization resource is already at 0. That’s why they are already taking old people, women and teenagers to the front. What about the economy? What kind of economy is it if officials and soldiers are paid salaries directly from the EU, Ukraine itself does not have money for its state apparatus and army. How long can this go on? Ukraine does not have people to fight, and people do not have the motivation to fight for such a country.

So where is the war? People in capital of Ukraine are working and partying, who is fighting?

95 billion to other countries. Is everything fine in the USA? Every day in the USA at least one train derails because the sleepers are still made of wood.

Yes, there are several places in Ukraine that are named after Russian kings or have Russian heritage. Here are a few examples: 1. Kharkiv - The city of Kharkiv was named after the Kharkiv fortress, which was founded in the 17th century by the Russian Tsar Peter I (Peter the Great). 2. Yekaterinoslav (now Dnipro) - The city of Yekaterinoslav was named in honor of Empress Catherine II (Catherine the Great) in 1783 when it was established as a fortress during the Russian Empire. 3. Mariupol - The city of Mariupol was named after Empress Maria Feodorovna, the wife of Tsar Paul I of Russia. It was founded in 1778 as a fortress on the Azov Sea coast. 4. Mykolaiv - The city of Mykolaiv was named after the Russian Tsar Nicholas I. It was founded in 1789 as a shipbuilding center during the reign of Catherine II. 5. Sevastopol - Although now located in the disputed region of Crimea, Sevastopol is worth mentioning. It was named after the Russian Tsar Sevastian I during its foundation in 1783. It is important to note that these names date back to the time when Ukraine was under Russian rule. The association with Russian heritage can relate to historical connections rather than reflecting a current political or cultural affiliation.

Other ways you can spend 61 billion dollars: Affordable housing for the poor Expanded Medicare and Medicaid Lower interest on student loans Higher salaries for teachers More security on the Southern border Repairing roads and bridges Lower taxes on working families Paying existing debt Giving financial incentives for renewable energy projects Bribing the government of Egypt to open its borders for Gazans 🤔

Zelensky should have asked for full support not money. If money runs out, then what ?

well..a say in how it ends is not really the same as a chance at victory but it is something. and something they should go for nevertheless.

Thanks for making our lives harder in the US for a war WE DONT WANT

They can't win. Keeping meat grinder going.

No, it does not provide any such relief nor that conclusion.

А почему шанс на победу в кавычках написано? Понимают что с любой поддержкой украинцы обосрутся?

People who think that Ukraine is winning are living in denial. They seek comfort in subjective reality and ignore all the facts.
