Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Thursday morning that President Obama has approved additional non-lethal military assistance of "health and welfare items" for Ukrainian forces.

The items include medical supplies, helmets, sleeping mats, water purification units, shelters,
hand fuel pumps, and small power generators, Hagel said during a Pentagon press briefing.

"The United States continues to stand with Ukraine," Hagel said, adding that the U.S. would continue to review additional support that can be provided to Ukraine.

Hagel did not say when the aid would arrive, but a Pentagon spokeswoman said the Pentagon and State Department would work closely with the Ukrainian officials to develop a plan for procurement and delivery of the supplies.

1. .............with a self appointed bunch of people????????? Well, I guess it's

best to do all of this before the Ukrainian elections, if it happens. Sorry, I just wish we'd stay out of foreign entanglements.
