🔴 There are several other strange moments in this story:

— the missile fell at about 3 pm, but Polish officials found out about it only in the evening, and reported late at night, when it was almost midnight in Bali;

— aides woke up Biden and Blinken at around 4 a.m., when noise has begun in the media and something had to be decided;

Unlikely that Biden woke up in possession of any reliable info, because as it now turns out, even the Pentagon didn't own it, and General Milley couldn't get through to either the Russians or the Poles
However, at a meeting with the leaders of the G7, Biden repeated exactly what was announced by the Russian Defense Ministry: "this is not a Russian, but a Ukrainian missile."

Excuse me, but how could President Biden know anything else BEFORE the investigation began?!

— After Biden's statement, Zelensky quite expectedly requested a telephone conversation with the US President, but he was refused;
Of course, the Kremlin propaganda is completely delighted with this news!

— after Zelensky's speech, Sullivan called Kyiv and actually warned Ukrainian officials to talk less without instructions from the White House...

— after hunkering at the US embassy in Kyiv during the Russian bombing, Burns immediately flew to Poland to meet with Duda

❗️But then WHY President Biden was informed about the "incident" by the Poles — moreover, only at midnight (!), — and not by the native CIA much earlier ??? After all according to CNN it turns out that Burns was in the know already during the day❗️

🇺🇸 Республиканцы добиваются аудита помощи Украине от Конгресса США

Представитель маргинального меньшинства в Палате представителей Марджори Тейлор Грин внесла привилегированную резолюцию о проверке средств, выделенных администрацией Байдена на поддержку Украины.

Законопроект предусматривает, что привилегированная резолюция будет передана в соответствующий комитет, у членов которого будет 14 рабочих дней, чтобы либо отклонить ее, либо одобрить для голосования в Палате представителей.

Если резолюция будет одобрена, Конгресс должен будет предоставить все документы по военной, гражданской и финансовой помощи Украине за подписью Джо Байдена.

🔹Администрация Байдена предоставила Киеву более $20 млрд военной помощи, около $10 млрд гуманитарной помощи и $13 млрд экономической помощи.
Президент Байден призвал Конгресс выделить еще $37,7 млрд дополнительного финансирования для Украины.

⁉️При этом, символически подписанный Байденом 9 мая ленд-лиз так и не начал действовать...

P.S. Источники в ОП говорят, что "Администрация Байдена поставила на паузу Ленд-лиз, а все попытки Киева получить помощь по этому треку жестко пресекаются американской стороной".
Вместо обещанного еще с января ленд-лиза, администрация Байдена прямо требует от Зеленского вернуться к переговорам с Кремлем, за основу которых должна быть взята #формула_Салливана (=капитуляция Украины)

🇺🇸 Republicans pursuing audit of Ukraine aid from US Congress

Marjorie Taylor Green, a minority fringe representative in the House of Representatives, introduced a privileged resolution to audit the funds allocated by the Biden administration to support Ukraine.

If the resolution is approved by the relevant Committee, Congress will have to provide all documents on military, civilian and financial assistance to Ukraine signed by Joe Biden.

🔹The Biden administration has provided more than $20 billion in military assistance to Kyiv, as well as about $10 billion in humanitarian assistance and about $13 billion in economic assistance.
President Biden has called for Congress to earmark another $37.7 billion in additional funding.

⁉️At the same time, the Lend-Lease symbolically signed by Biden on May 9 still hasn't yet begun to operate ...

P.S. Sources in the president's office say that "the Biden administration has put Lend-Lease on pause, and all attempts by Kyiv to get help on this track are being severely suppressed by the American side."
Instead of the lend-lease promised since January, the Biden administration directly demands Zelensky to return to negotiations with the Kremlin, which should be based on the #Sullivan_formula (=capitulation of #Ukraine)
