Aid on its way and will make a "real difference" on the battlefield, Blinken tells Ukrainians
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sought Tuesday to rally the spirits of glum Ukrainians facing a fierce new Russian offensive, assuring them that they are not alone and that billions of dollars in American military aid on its way to the country would make a “real difference” on the battlefield. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on Russia's latest brutal offensive and military aid for Ukraine trickling in from the West, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Peter Zalmayev, Director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative.

Zelensky surely listens and believes, same as the Southern Vietnamese had done till early 1975.

You Goddamm right
This package will definitely be a game changer unlike 100 other packages given before.
So giving Ukraine about a quarter of the amount of hardware they gave them last year is going to make a "real difference". Perhaps to the bank accounts of the US arms makers but not to anybody else.

They did break through at the North East of Ukraine are still have territory gains from that since after the invasion. It did help. The 320 billion they confiscated from the Russians will also go to Ukraine the next NATO summit in July probably and a extra 100 billion for the next 5 years. That's a lot of fire power you can buy with that. Before that runs out Europe will have tripled the weapons and ammo industry.

there weren't enough Leopards, Challengers or Abrams to win victory even at a battalion level piece of terrain. Get Real. The US has 1,000 Abrams in storage - unwanted by our Marine Corps who have gone tank "light" to become the Marine "Raiders" - sitting in a desert depot in sunny California. The US is bleeding Ukraine in a half dream- reality light proxy war with Ukraine paying all the costs. Shameful. Churchill and FDR are turning over in their graves.

They don‘t have to act until the end of the US election!
3 years of lies. and now he is telling the truth. 😂👌
That's very true!!!!!!!!!!!
The language has now changed from Ukraine is winning to making a difference on the battle field😅😅😅
Lol.. What?! When?
No more 'game changer '
How "smart" you are Blinken!!
This package must be game changer, what a clowns, nobody and nothing can save ukrain
NATO really loves their pizzerias.
Always wondered how the West are able to ship all these supplies for 2 years and Russia can't destroy the shipping cargo on its way to the front.
What also may make a difference is lifting the restraint that the US put on using US materiel inside proper Russia.
Blinken rocks🎉🎉🎉..
US as always doing by far the most in military support for Ukraine. Western Europe needs to step up
Weapons that are coming will not be in use cos it will be kept in the museum as quite a number of their previous weapons that were captured are now kept out of action😂

Right, Zelensky should not forbid negotiations by Presidential decree and go to the negotiation table immediately.
The Ukrainian aide wasn't delayed by the republicans of the House. It was delayed by Mike Johnson, the republican Speaker of the House all on his own. Slava Ukraine. 🔱
""""The game changers,""
Just as the conter offensive. Russia is not Libya.
Game changer
I'd like to see NATO or another country provide air defense of the infrastructure of Ukraine. Send NATO forces to operate the air defense. This would free up Ukraine's military air defense to defend troops on the front lines.
France use to be a world leader but has never recovered from WWII. France has the opportunity right now to reclaim its former position. Right now if you had to pick the most reliable ally, it would be the UK as the British flag is always first over the hill, with the EU and US fumbling around trying to not have Ukraine lose but really not trying to win. Russian arms are not as advertised leaving a large market that France could fill. The world could use a stronger France right now, less dependent on the US. Spending all your money on nuclear weapons that will never get used, as neither side can stop the old ones.
Yes, we noticed how $68 billion in aide has given Ukraine the power to advance backwards on the battlefield.
any difference, what kind of different,,by capturing 10villages that's really difference
blinken went to ukraine saying and to avoid zelensky to flee
came here for entertainment😆
Don't worry Stay and fight in place stop giving ground, So you can slow the loss... MORAL BOOSTER of a speech that was. Who wants to Die losing?
i honestly do not understand the WEST at all, as to why Ukraine can,t hit Russia,this is so unfair
Riiiiight 😂😂😂
There is a reason why west is not allowing Ukraine to use western weapons in the Russian heartland.
You are not alone remind me of Jackson song lol
Blinken time you walk the talk. Go fight in Ukraine to prove you really mean what you say....
Late EU
But not let them force Russia out. Bummer for tax payers.

Not as much difference as all the tanks, artillery pieces, aircraft and long range ATACMs which were not sent during 2023, nor all the restrictions the US places on using our arms to reach into the Russian bases launching attacks on Ukraine from Russian soil. Sec. Blinken can play all the guitar music riffs he wants: the US and German policy has crippled the Ukraine's ability to defend itself. Blinken and company want a cost free NATO contribution - not $$$ Euro free, but no WEstern blood spilled. Well, we in the West are at War, like it or not, and the sooner French, Baltic and Polish boots are on the ground the sooner NATO aircraft can begin defending them and taking the fight to the Russian air forces and ground troops. The West is in a dream land of low cost while Russia has placed its whole society on a war footing. Biden Blinken and Nod will regret their cautious bowing to Putin's red lines. And Ukraine is the place dripping with blood and destroyed crucial infrastructure. Have a nice vacation at Martha's Vineyard all you K Street toasties
Most of the said weapons made their way to Ukraine secretly some time ago yet nothing has changed 😂. Why can't they talk peace? Russia will never be defeated 🎉🎉
You already have ATACAMS but Russian is jamming it so is every other wonder weapon.
Well, this time it will certainly make a real difference. The "real" hints that the other times he was telling rubbish but this time he isn't
When is France going to give Ukraine a meaningful military aid? Why can't France donate Patriot defense to Ukraine? All Macron does is to talk big. Without the United States, Ukraine would be a part of Russia as we speak.
Blinken loves making unfounded assumptions. He is like Zelensky.😂
Does Blinky still living in the fantasyland? 😂😜😂
There was a chanse in 2022 Istanbul.save face-lives USA--Boris Johnson PAY for it.
He is right, it will lead to an nuclear conflagration ! very clever !

Everyone wants to thank Blinken. Thank Biden. Thank the US Administration. Do a little good-will talking, Ukraine. Thank the Republicans who risked their necks to pass the bill that brought the $61 billion. Yes, they stalled. But they ultimately did the right thing at the risk of their careers. Now Blinken and Biden step in and take the credit. Sheesh.
