The Biden administration on Monday announced an additional $457.5 million in civilian aid to bolster Ukraine’s law enforcement and criminal justice agencies amid Russia’s war in the Eastern European nation.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the new funding will improve the operational capacity of Kyiv’s law enforcement officers and save lives “as they continue to help defend the Ukrainian people, their freedom and their democracy from the Kremlin’s brutal war of aggression.”
“Our provision of personal protective equipment, medical supplies and armored vehicles has significantly reduced casualties for Ukrainian civilians and their defenders,” Blinken said in a statement. “Ukrainian law enforcement officers remain resilient, motivated and determined to carry out their wide-ranging law enforcement missions and support for innocent civilians in towns and cities facing continuous Russian shelling.”
Some of these funds will go toward U.S. support for Kyiv’s efforts to document, investigate and prosecute crimes committed by Russia amid its war, Blinken said.
According to the State Department, the United States has committed more than $645 million to Ukraine’s law enforcement and criminal justice partners since December.
Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, and the United States and its allies have responded with repeated rounds of sanctions and other punitive measures targeting the Kremlin while financially supporting Kyiv.
Amid the war, the United States has given Ukraine more than $15.1 billion in security assistance and more than $15.8 billion since January 2021, according a fact sheet from the State Department.
“The United States stands side-by-side with the Ukrainian people and remains committed to support a democratic, independent and sovereign Ukraine,” the United States’ top diplomat said.

We are being bled to death by this Corrupt Ukraine and Biden administration. I would like to see the USA law enforce receive $500 million to bolster law enforcement.
YET THEY WANTED TO defund OUR OWN police and justice… Go figure.
“The United States stands side-by-side with the Ukrainian people and remains committed to support a democratic, independent and sovereign Ukraine,” the United States’ top diplomat said.
OK, Now how about this corrupt puppet president Joe Biden and his masters be first committed to support a democratic, independent and sovereign U.S.A.. Importing and supporting multi-million unvetted illegal immigrants is NOT sovereign.
Stop fighting the MAGA “Make America Great Again” movement and DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING to Make America Great Again. Instead of trying to destroy the U.S.A. with your Lies and destructive policies and the obscene and perverted woke objectives.
Like we don’t have enough criminals and crimes against humanity and WE THE PEOPLE here in the USA to investigate? It’s all about defunding the ijnvestigators here in the USA by funding the investigators over seas, who Joe probably has instriucted to cover up Hunter’s Barisma deals and pay off those who woudl incriminate Joe when he and Hunter get investigated for the Laundered Ukrainian oil delas after we take back the House.
They want to destroy law enforcement over here, yet bolster it over there.
Hello????
Just like its ALL ok to spend BILLIONS to defend a FOREIGN NATIONS border. BUT we can’t pay one red cent to secure our own border.
IF That isn’t the definition of treason, i no longer know if ANYTHING qualifies anymore.
