Ukraine risks sliding into a debt trap under US lend-lease act - superadmin - 05-11-2022 Who is the war machine in today's world? What Moscow and Washington did on Monday could offer clues.    Although Russia is in a war with Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin did not mention "Ukraine" once during his speech at the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow.  He stressed Russia's security concerns but avoided inflammatory remarks that could fuel any dangerous escalation of the situation. In contrast, the Joe Biden administration on Monday made no secret of its intention to fan the flames and prolong the conflict. It urged the Congress to quickly approve a $33 billion supplemental aid bill for Ukraine before the Pentagon runs out of funds to send weapons from its stockpiles to the war-torn country by the third week of May, while at the same time, President Biden signed into law a lend-lease act that will expedite the process of sending military aid to Ukraine.  - More -
