WATCH: Biden Announces Funding For Ukrainian Pensions Just One Day After Denying Aid To East Palestine
On Friday, Joe Biden announced that more of US taxpayer dollars are going to Ukraine. Mind you, this next batch of money is not going to help them in the war against Russia, but it will fund their pensions and “social” programs. This speech was given just one day after Biden denied emergency aid to East Palestine, OH after their recent ecological disaster.
Biden said he wants to make sure that Ukrainian citizens have “something in their pocket”.
“This will deliver much needed humanitarian assistance as well as food, water, medicine, shelter and other aid to Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s war. And provide aid for those seeking refuge in other countries from Ukraine. It’s also going to help schools and hospitals open. It’s going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people so they have something in their pocket,” Biden said.

As you can imagine, Twitter users had something to say:
We can’t even begin to take care of all of the homeless vets in our line and you @POTUS are worried about Ukrainians’ pensions and welfare?!? How is this even real? I do not understand.
This is wrong.

Wow. We’re now second-class citizens being ignored in our own country.
Yet, we pay (hint: when was the last time you checked your actual pay stub?) for all of this.
And a lot of y’all want more of this…— Joe Matthews (@jmatthews1065) February 18, 2023
Oh yeah, Zelensky put the money into FTX, BlackRock, and funnels it back to the Biden/McConnell crime family.

Biden on aid to Ukraine – "It's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people so they have something in their pocket."
Biden is guaranteeing pensions and welfare for Ukrainians but can't guarantee aid for Ohio.

The words “America last” were a common theme in most Twitter responses online.
