Biden: “As you know, President Putin started this war believing he could easily defeat the will of the Ukrainian people.” Said on wednesday. “When that failed, he changed his strategy a little bit and thought he could break the will of NATO, break the will of the United States, break our will. Oh, you failed again.”

On average, it costs the federal government $20 million to $45 million per mile to build a border wall. Former President Donald Trump spent about $15 billion to build about 450 miles of border wall over four years.
At the same cost, newly signed Ukrainian funds could build a border wall across the southern border, and there would probably be money left over to renovate ports of entry.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas): “More than 11 million illegal aliens, including thousands of Chinese, have been imported into American states, and we have no idea who they are.” Said In a statement. “We cannot continue to sell our grandchildren down the river and send another $60 billion to Ukraine that we don’t need.”
As reported by Breitbart News, as part of the Ukrainian funds, about $300 million went to “20 of the Border Guards of Ukraine and the National Police of Ukraine (including 21 supporting units and units under the command of the Ukrainian military)” will be donated to.
