KIEV, UKRAINE –  U.S. officials say the White House is announcing an aid package to Ukraine of $1 billion in lost energy subsidies as it seeks to extract itself from Russia’s influence.

The announcement came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry landed in the Ukrainian capital Tuesday to show American support for Kiev’s military and political struggle against Moscow.  

Russian troops have overtaken the local government in Crimea, a strategic region in Ukraine’s southeast. Western leaders are threatening to fierce economic sanctions as early as this week against if Moscow does not retreat.

The economic package also includes training assistance to Ukraine’s national bank, Finance Ministry and election observers ahead of a May 25 national vote.

The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet happened.

    1. Exactly Paul, and then they get another one billion in aid. WTF. we could use that right here in america.

  1. So let’s see: as far as aid to AMERICANS, the Republicans have been filibustering unemployment since Jan. 1 and just shot down a Veterans aid bill.

  2. A billion we borrowed from China and Russia??? What a joke… Kerry here with……. his Hot Checks .

  3. I can’t even read the news today. These people make me sick.

    Someone call me when it’s time to hack off their heads.

  4. IF YA ASKED ME..JOHN KERRY IS BAT SHIT CRAZY..AND A REAL RICH BITCH HYPOCRITE OF EMENCE PROPORTIONS…NOTHING FOR THE UNEMPLOYED .BUT THEY..WHO THE HELL IS THEY..GOT I BILLION TO SEND TO THE CIRCUS CALL THE USSR..ITS ALL FALLING APART..THE AMERICAN UMPIRE OF COMPLETE STUPIDITY..AND IM BEING KIND..BUT SOONER OR LATER.THE NO MORE MR NICE GUY WILL BE GONE.JUST LIKE MY ONCE REPUBLIC.

  5. I just have to say that at work today, everyone was complaining about this $1 billion dollar giveaway to a country we don’t even know or give a shit about. During lunch hour all I heard was how everyone wished Barry was six feet under. I’ve never heard so many people ready to go at it with our government as I heard today. They were even talking about the Connecticut thing and were hoping the militias actually do something. They were also talking about all the guns they had at home and how no one was going to take them away without a fight. All I heard was, “If you come to my house, all I have to say is, ‘Come and take it’ because you ain’t gettin’ it without a fight”. Furthermore, they were extremely pissed about Obama going to China on our tax dollars.

    People are angry. Some in Dallas may be a little slow in finding out about the radiation spewing out from New Mexico, but they sure as hell know our government is 110% corrupt. Hell, even our managers were bitching.

    All I have to say is, “Don’t mess with Texas”. We ain’t playin’.
