United States Providing Ukraine with an Extra $425 Million Military Aid Package
Comes just a week after the Pentagon announced a $150 million aid package for Ukraine.
The U.S. Defense Department announced on Friday a new $425 million military assistance package for Ukraine, which will include laser-guided munitions to shoot down Russia’s drones.
Ukraine will receive additional munitions for its air defense, ammunition for U.S.-provided rocket systems, artillery rounds, javelins, and anti-tank systems to help it fight against Russian forces on its soil.
The remaining $300 million will come from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows the Biden administration to procure weapons from industry. This fund will be used to provide Ukraine with laser-guided munitions to counter Russia’s drones.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Nov. 3 that funds under USAI are running low as Congress remains divided over the Biden administration’s $100 billion supplemental funding request.
