Thank you very much for joining us. We begin with a pivotal vote on capitol hill after months of delays and political wrangling rare saturday session today, house lawmakers passed a 95 billion foreign aid package for israel, ukraine, and taiwan. Republican Speaker Mike Johnson was finally able to advance the bills through congress with the help and must be noted of democrats. Its a move that could cost him his job as some hardliners his party of threatened to introduce a measure to remove him from his speakership the senate is now set to take up that aid package on tuesday, President Biden now urging senators to send the legislation to his desk quickly so that he can sayyed them into law, quote right away. Lets get straight to our correspondence in both jerusalem and kyiv two countries set to benefit directly from this major bill. Cnn, Senior International correspondent Fred Pleitgen is in the ukrainian capital and our senior diplomatic Editor International diplomatic enter, Nic Robertson joins us from jerusalem fred, i want to start with you. We are talking about more than 60 billion for the ukrainians. They have said time and time again that this is so desperately needed. Youve spent a lot of time on the front lines. How is this going to impact the ukrainian soldiers . Well, i think in so many ways, i mean, one of the things that we have to keep in mind, alex, is that over the past couple of months, the ukrainians have been suffering from a severe lack of ammunition on the front lines. In fact, one place that i went to about two months ago near the front lines in the east of the country, near bakhmut. The soldiers there were having to fire smoke shells out of artillery, launching systems. So ones that dont even really explode when they hit targets near, near where the russians are. These weapons had absolutely no effect because the ukrainian simply didnt have enough regular shells to fire at the russians. Its a problem thats been going on for months as this aid has been delayed by the United States. So the are hoping that they can get some fast relief from that very quickly. The other thing that they said, they need immediately is air Defense Missiles. They do have some air Defense Systems that have been helping them. However, they said that they simply at this point in time dont have enough missiles. Of course, one of the things alex, that weve been reporting about over the past couple of weeks, the past couple of months once is that the russians have launched this massive aerial campaign, especially against Energy Infrastructure in this country, destroying or badly damaging a lot of Energy Plants here in this country. And the ukrainians are saying they simply dont have enough ammo for their air Defense System to shoot those russian missiles down. So theyre hoping that theres going to get faster leaf for that well, we also spoke to some soldiers on the front line who said that this aid build going through the House Of Representatives and being okay by the House Of Representatives does so much for morale for the ukrainians on the battlefield knowing that new ammo is coming, the president of this country volodymyr zelenskyy. He also came out and thank the United States. Heres what he had to say we appreciate every manifestation of support for our state and independents are people in our lives, which russia wants to bury in Ruins America has shown its leadership from the first days of this war of course one of the things that we have been seeing, alex recently is that the russians do have a bit of momentum going for them on the battlefield right now, its no strategic gains. Yet, as far as the russians are concerned, however, they are more effective at using their air force now, theyve made some advances on the ground as well. The ukrainians are saying they understand at this aid package is not going to completely reverse that, but they do hope that it is going to help them, uh, hold the russians up and possibly even start some sort of planning for what could be as the summer progresses progresses a Counter Offensive by the ukrainians. But of course right now, immediately they say the main thing is trying to hold the russians up. Alex yeah that most recent counteroffensive didnt go terribly well for them. Fred pleitgen, great to have you back in kyiv. Thank you so much nick, to you now, we have 26 billion that are going to israel and gaza, 9 billion of it is going to be for humanitarian aid, 17 billion going to the israeli military. Weve seen israel go through a lot of those intercepted rockets in the past few days as they were fending off that attack from the iranians. Of course, the israelis using a lot of tank shells for example in gaza, what is the reaction in israel to these billions that are coming their way . Very happy from the top of the political leadership, from the president of the country, isaac herzog, saying that israel has no better ally than the United States. And same the United States has no better ally than israel as well. The Prime Minister like other political leaders here post hes very grateful for the bipartisan support. He says, this bipartisan support shows support for israel, and i think thats significant coming from the Prime Minister because theres a sense among many people in the country here, particularly those that are critical of him, that he has really grown tensions with the white house between himself flynn President Biden, im particularly over the way his fight in the war in gaza more than 34,000 palestinians dead there. Now the war is not over more, more Military Operations to come. Thats whats expected. So the Prime Minister domestically, making it clear that this is bipartisan support we havent damaged that relationship that minister talking about the seven different enemies that israel is fighting at the moment. This, it says shows strong support from the United States. A Foreign Minister talks about strong ties, talks about Strategic Partnership all of these words, welcoming that money that Military Support for the ability to be able to hold off the enemies of israel. And thats what the speaker in the knesset said. Its an Important Message for the enemies of israel and that i think has particular resonance here as well, because theres been an assessment here that the reason iran, just last weekend, we were standing on the roof here watching some of those 350 iranian drones and missiles coming into israeli airspace, getting shot down. And the sense was that iran believed that there was a weakness in that relationship between israel and the United States because of the strains between Prime Minister netanyahu and President Biden. And this is what is under so that encouraged them to strike. So when the speaker of the knesset, it says, are random is understand that bond with the United States is strong. That sending that message, so it isnt just the military aid it is that perception for the enemies of israel and for the aid money that goes for gaza. And potent sort of point on that was that none of the money thats being given for aid for gaza is going to go to the un body, unrwa, which oversees the age distribution in gaza, which israel has been incredibly critical of as having members of hamas with within numbers. And theres the big tension obviously between unrwa and israel at the moment some nations not funding unrwa and to the detriment of the people of gaza, they say, yeah, so many see them as the most Effective Network at getting aid to where it needs to be inside the gaza strip. Nic robertson, jerusalem. Thanks very much. I want to bring in retired trailing Army Major General mc ryan mick, a great to have you back with us. Im going to start with ukraine first, 60 heading to ukraine. Certainly very welcome. Weve been hearing ukrainian officials from president linsky on down, sounding the warning about what it would mean if they didnt get this aid. So what is it going to mean for ukraines troops and concrete . Terms oh good. I alex a major shot in the arm for ukraine in the warfighting realm, they should see very quick infusions about hillary in air defense munitions. These are the two big priorities and the Pentagon European commanding places throughout your little being planing on a very quick injection and once this bill was play. So we should see that moving quickly. But more importantly, it provides a Beat Morale Boost for ukrainian citizens and for their soldiers on the front line they know that aid is on the way and that will help where we saw the russians take the town of avdiivka, an Eastern Ukraine and thats just one example of where russia has been able to progress in the past few months how do you think ukraine has been directly impacted as us lawmakers were going back and forth about what to do well, it certainly had a Significant Impact on frontline soldiers. Great shortfalls of Artillery Munitions is one of your previous speakers, noted General Cobolli and europe recently stated that the russians will probably double their overmatched will be attend to one without significant help. But also its resulted in a shortfall in a Defense Missiles over cities, but also over the front line. And therefore, weve seen these Glide Bomb Attacks which have been so devastating against the ukrainians anybody. Who is interested in this conflict should be following your analysis. Youre following this so carefully and offer such terrific perspective we did hear from cia director bill burns on thursday, and he sounded this warning that essentially that if there was not more us support for ukraine, that they could essentially lose the wore out to russia by the end of the year, or at least allow President Putin to set the terms for some kind of diplomatic solution. Do you agree with that analysis absolutely. In these comments by the director, were also made by the ukrainian president last couple of weeks without additional assistance to ukraine would lose this is for modern malls or a bad alliances. No country can go it alone, not even the us ukraine, like many other nations, need support to help it defeat russia if i could ask you about israel now they obviously have a much more formidable Military Industry than ukraine does at the same time, theyve been at war now for six months, not just in gaza, but theyve been also battling on a lower level with hezbollah in the north. Theyre getting about 17 billion. Director military aid. How needed is that in israel its very important for israel when you got to israel, i talk about things surrounded by a ring of Fire Fighting in gaza. They his bullet to the north, i have a friend from the west and also in the houthis to the south. So israel is facing threats in older age actions and it will go through a Defense Missiles in particular very quickly. But theres a range of other Military Material they need for. They did things. And of course, the us wants to replenish those stockpiles, not just so they can use them in those conflicts, but to establish deterrence for, for future conflicts, what message do you think that this sends to us adversaries Around The World . We havent been talking as much about taiwan, but theres 8 billion going to taiwan. So what is that message that russia, china, and iran are receiving right now . Well, i think its important to remember that there were four bills. It was a ukraine bill and israel bill, and indopacific bill, as well as the bill on tiktok and freezing russia acids. What this is saying to what i would call the authoritarian quarter of a rain russia, north korea, and china. Is that the states in italian looking at all of them as one large threat. Its an entity that the democracies of the world are going to push back on. The us funding in these bills will be a critical part of that all right, retired Major General mc ryan joining us from brisbane in australia.
