They are looking now < p > Although Ukraine from 2022 to 2023 did not take advantage of the Lend-Lease program, but the Ukrainian army received weapons through direct write-offs from the US warehouses and from American defense enterprises. < p > after Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, February 11, 2025, the Republican Congressman Joe Wilson proposed to submit a new draft law for consideration of the Congress, which will provide for the allocation of the Lend-Lease program to support Ukraine.< p > what is known about the American Lend-Lease program and how it can help Ukraine in the war with the Russian Federation — Further in the material.

Lend-LEND-ARENDA) < Strong ~ Strong >The United States of America handed over ammunition, military equipment, weapons, equipment, food, oil products to combat Nazi Germany ~ 60 > 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 60 > Land-Lisa Law was adopted by the US Congress and signed by the 32nd American President Franklin Delaino Roosevelt < Strong > in March 1941 . He acted until September 20, 1945.
< p > official name of the document – < strong > law on the promotion of the defense of the United States . 62 ~ < blockquote >< p >According to this law, the US government could, according to the fastest procedure, on the terms of the loan (lease), supply everything necessary (weapons, ammunition, equipment, etc.) to states whose defense during the Second World War was considered vital for the security of the United States.
< p > after the war the return or compensation was subject to property transferred within the framework of Lend-Lalu, which was not used, destroyed or lost during the fighting and was suitable for civilian purposes. The United States for payment of compensation provided a long -term loan.< p > in total the Lend-Lease program then covered more than 40 countries. The largest number of deliveries to the UK (for more than $ 30 billion). Subsequently, the law also spread to the USSR (before the end of the war, the Soviet Union received assistance from Washington by about $ 11 billion). < p >-Lend-Lease was generous. Thanks to him, Great Britain and other allies in the period 1941-1945 received goods and military equipment for the amount of $ 50 billion at the exchange rate of 1941 (equivalent to $ 690 billion in 2020). The Lend-Lease program has led to a huge mobilization of the American economy to ensure a colossal number of reserves and material resources necessary for warfare …
< p > American factories delivered tanks, artillery, warships and merchant ships in a huge number to ensure victory. Similarly, American farmers and oil workers supplied food and fuel, which supported Britain and allies throughout the struggle, — Noted < Strong > Alan Riley , Lawyer and Senior Researcher of the Atlantic Council (Atlantic Council) in his March column for Cepa (Center for European Policy Analysis). 62 ~ < p >He drawn parallels between the events of World War II and a full -scale war in Ukraine, emphasizing that the situations are very similar. Riley explained that how the UK in 1941 became “ the command post of the West ” In the struggle against Nazism, so Ukraine now holds the line of defense “ against the march of global authoritarianism ”.
62 > < Blockquote >< P > – The United States admitted that if the UK falls, Hitler will not stop, and the security of the United States itself will be at risk. What was true then is true today. If Ukrainian democracy perishes in the next few months, Putin will dare. Its mode will intensify, and the following on its list may be Poland and the Baltic countries … If Ukraine collapses, the US security will be undermined both in Asia and in Europe, ”wrote Riley.
< p >In this regard, the lawyer called on Washington to approve the similar program of Lend-Lease for Ukraine. This is exactly what the US Senate did.< h3 >< strong > what the US Senate support
62 > 62 > 62 ~ < p > as notes the Politico publication, American senators went to the steps that “ helped to defeat Hitler ” and quickly replenish the military reserves of the allies in the struggle against Nazi Germany.
< Blockquote >~ 60 >-Lend-Lease program created during the Second World War, is considered as a turning point in the conflict, since it allowed the United States to quickly replenish the reserves of allies without bulky procedural obstacles, — ; writes the publication.
< p > USA supported by the US Senate is called: Lend-Lisa Law in Defense of Democracy in Ukraine (UKRANE DEMOCRACY Defense LEND-LEND-LENASE ACT). It was made by a group of senators from the democratic and republican parties.
< p >< strong >The law will allow us to provide critically important military assistance to Ukraine faster and according to a simplified procedure, without unnecessary bureaucratic delays and without payment (the United States can be paid later). < p > < p > as the politico notes, American lawmakers resort to such extraordinary tactics, since the United States and their allies in Europe believe that the invasion of the Russian Federation to Ukraine is an existential threat to liberal order. In addition, this indicates that the Western world believes in the possibility of Ukraine to defeat the Russian Federation.
< h3 >< strong > how the Lend-Seal program will help Ukraine: the opinions of experts
62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > < p > as ICTV < Strong > political consultant, head of the Center for Military Foreign Research Alexander Musienko , adopted by the US Senate, the bill is aimed at accelerating assistance to Ukraine.
< p >
< p >< strong > expert identified four advantages that this document will give to our state: 60 > 62 > 62 ~ < p >< strong > 1. will significantly reduce the deadlines for the provision of military assistance to Ukraine. < P > – As you know, weapon supply has its own procedure, certain procedures, coordination, export control, and so on. This draft law is aimed at reducing the period of time between making a decision, when funds are allocated to finance weapons, a decision on the transfer of weapons and its actual transportation and transfer. Relatively speaking, if for some approval it used to be three to four days, now it will take a day for it, or it will be accepted even faster, — told Alexander Musienko.
< p >< strong > 2. land-liza will expand the assistance that the United States is provided to our state.
< blockquote >< p > – that is, it will cross this conditional line that is in the West: weapons of defensive lethal purposes and an offensive attack weapon. All these barriers can actually be eliminated, and they already become, let’s say, only conditional, — I specified Musienko.
< p >< strong > 3. in practice Ukraine will become one of the priorities in the defense sphere and security sphere for the United States. < p >< strong > 4. in the future Ukraine will be able to receive almost all the weapons to which the request will submit.< blockquote >< p >– This law provides a very important step in the sense that Ukraine in the future receives almost all the weapons for which it forms a request. Well, and, accordingly, increases funding by several times for those defense programs and security programs that we cooperate, — Musienko noted.
< p > expert does not exclude that such a step of Washington may indicate that Ukraine will also provide offensive weapons. < p > < blockquote >< p > – I hope yes. At least, this law takes serious steps in this direction, in fact, even using the same terminology that was used during the Second World War, — Musienko emphasized.
< p > expert also expressed the opinion that the US Congress will not delay with the final adoption of the Lend-Lis bill, since this is one of the priority projects.
< p > a < strong >Military Expert Oleg Zhdanov In the commentary to the facts ICTV noted that the Lend-Lease program for Ukraine is very significant support and will open for our state the possibility of acquiring any weapons with the United States.
< Blockquote >< P >-What is a Lend-Lease ? these are warranties to the countries that will supply us with weapons, guarantees of payment or compensation for these supplies. They give guarantees – countries give us weapons. And with the United States, we will probably then, after the war, resolve the question of how we will pay them, — The expert said.< p > Oleg Zhdanov also believes that < strong > Lend-Lease program will accelerate the supply of offensive weapons to Ukraine .
62 > 62 > 62 ~ < blockquote >< p > – yes. And if the Lend-Lease program is valid, it will not be limited to NATO member countries. It will spread to all countries of the world where there are Soviet samples of weapons (which Ukraine asked – ed.). And maybe I exaggerate a little, but if the United States agrees with India, then we can get T-90 tanks that India bought from the Russian Federation. But today you can, for example, negotiate with Cyprus, which received T-80 and BMP-3 tanks. These are the most modern standards of Russian weapons. And they can be put on us on Lend-Lisa,-the expert is convinced.
< p > Zhdanov explained that after the approval of the bill in the House of Representatives and signing it by President Joe Bayden, the US Department of Finance and the Pentagon will determine who and what they will redeem for Ukraine. The expert does not exclude that these procedures can take several weeks.
