U.S. blasts ‘ungrateful’ Zelensky: Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says America ‘deserves a degree of gratitude’ for $113 billion in support after Ukrainian President slammed ‘absurd’ decision to delay NATO membership

  • Top Biden aide Sullivan hit out at suggestions that the U.S. was ‘afraid of Russia’ by not offering Ukraine full NATO membership
  • His comments came at a side event during a two-day meeting of the military alliance in Vilnius, Lithuania
  • Joe Biden has ruled out offering Ukraine a pathway to NATO until Russia has been defeated 

‘The United States of America has stepped up to provide an enormous amount of capacity to help ensure that Ukraine’s brave soldiers have the ammunition, air defense, the infantry, fighting vehicles, the mine clearing equipment and so much else to be able to effectively defend against Russia’s onslaught and to take territory back as well.

‘I think the American people do deserve a degree of gratitude from the United States government for their willingness to step up and from the rest of the world as well.’

In a thinly-veiled swipe at Zelensky’s criticism of his Western allies, Sullivan said some of the charges leveled against the U.S. were ‘entirely unfounded and unjustified.’

The United States is by far the largest donor of military support to Ukraine, offering more than $46 billion worth of hardware to Kyiv, according to data from a respected German think-tank.

Lawmakers in Congress have earmarked as much as $100 billion, but not all of that aid has yet been drawn down to help the Ukrainian government. 

Most of the weapons shipped to Ukraine are also made in the U.S., boosting jobs in the country’s key defense sector.

  1. …for their willingness to step up…

    Oh, it was a choice? Well from now on I am no longer willing to send my tax dollars to Ukraine. I don’t want gratitude now or later, just STOP.

  2. The American people have gone above and beyond in efforts to help millions of others and sadly, Zelensky isn’t the only one that fails to show gratitude, including many fellow Americans.

  3. Spike his coke with strychnine. Or just crash his plane while he’s flitting around Europe with his greasy little hand out.

    But really… where is Ukraine’s von Stauffenburg?

  4. Zelensky is just recognizing the smoke Uncle Sam was blowing up his ass all this time. We’ll make you boss, give you tons of money and weapons and all you gotta do is launder our graft, let us do bioweapons labs, sell us some of your excess children, and provoke the shit outta Russia. We’ll back you all the way, we promise!

    Yeah, let’s you and him fight!
