Didn't Saudi Arabia just give Ukraine 400m?

Russia Ukraine conflict: Saudi Arabia signs $400 mln agreement for Ukraine aid as Kingdom’s FM visits Kyiv

Saudi Arabia signed an agreement and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Ukraine, providing the war-torn country with $400 million in humanitarian aid during a high-level delegation’s visit to Kyiv, the Saudi foreign ministry said on Sunday.

ukraine got a burgeoning defense industry that will end up selling the saudis weapons when the war is over.

Can someone who pays attention to this more than me explain why Biden won't give the fighter jets to Ukraine? Both the Dems and GOP want Biden to give them the jets.

A lot of moving parts to put in place. I think they will sooner than later but an F-16 isn’t really a magic bullet and Russia still has tons of anti air so it’s not like they’ll be able to do more than they have been with their MiGs.

I believe they will. Publicly, the details are kept a mystery and in front of question marks for obvious reasons. When it is announced, they will give a fake number and delivery date.

Part of the cooperation is keeping Russia out of the loop and preventing them from being able to keep an accurate tally on Ukrainian equipment.

Much like the strikes in Mauripol and deep Russian back lines over the weekend, Russia needs to be kept in the dark until the last possible second and its too late for them to react. This means being publicly fickle.

From what I read Russia would see that as a serious act of aggression..as well as enforcing a no fly zone.

I donT believe America wants to escalate it to that extreme just yet.
