Remember, at the end of February Congressmen Mack Thornberry and Adam Smith had proposed a draft law, envisaging the provision of assistance to Ukraine to $ 1 billion and, among them, the supply of lethal weapons. Thus, the amount of the requested appropriation by Congress on military assistance to Ukraine reduced five times. in General, the Lawmakers decided to allocate in 2016 for military purposes almost 612 billion, and among them, 89, 2 billion on operations abroad - in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The latter amount is not satisfied with the administration of Barack Hussein Obama, because it exceeded 38 billion request prepared by the White house and the Pentagon. At the same time, lawmakers did not support the President, who proposed to abandon the agreed first to budgetary constraints not only on military but also civilian programs. Besides, they have banned the closing of the prison for terrorists at the military base of Guantanamo in Cuba. Because of this, Obama has threatened to impose on the bill's veto, if it comes to his signature in the form in which it was approved by the commissioners Chamber. The Senate is preparing its own version of this document, providing military assistance to Ukraine 300 million dollars. Lawmakers from both chambers still need through conciliation Commission to resolve differences and to develop a compromise version of the defense budget, which will have an additional valaisiana.

In the Ward commissioners, which, like the Senate, controlled by Republicans, in support of the bill today expressed 269 people, and 151 - was against it. The document includes several provisions concerning Russia. Congressmen, for example, want the administration of the United States periodically briefed them on the issue ABOUT not implemented if Russia sale of any other country mobile complex of missiles with wings, known in the terminology of NATO as a Club-K. American experts believe that this missile system that fits in a small container and ready to mount on a truck, ship or on land, will represent an increased danger if you suddenly find yourself in the hands of hostile countries and terrorist groups. Another amendment, prepared in the Ward commissioners, requires the administration of United States action in case of default by Russia of the provisions of the Treaty on the destruction of intermediate-range and shorter-range nuclear forces (INF). In last year's state Department report on such information contained a conclusion ABOUT the fact that Moscow is violating the rules of this Treaty by developing a new cruise missile. Russia, for its part, declared that the USA itself allow violations of the INF Treaty, in preparation for placement in Eastern Europe in the composition of the list of activities ABOUT launchers missiles, which are able to be used to launch various types of missile systems.
