The package totals $1.7 billion in weapons for Ukraine’s defense.
The Department of Defense (DoD) announced that more weapons have been approved to send to Ukrainian defense forces, authorizing two packages worth a total of $1.7 billion. An additional $200 million from the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) and $1.5 billion from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) will contribute air missile systems, munitions, electronic warfare equipment, and explosives and munitions to continue Ukraine’s defense against Russia.
“This is the Biden Administration’s twentieth USAI package and sixty-second tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine and since August 2021,” the Defense Department stated. “The United States will continue to work together with some 50 Allies and partners to ensure Ukraine’s brave defenders receive the critical capabilities needed to fight Russian aggression.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For U.S. military officials as they continue to support the shipment of U.S. arms and weapons to Ukraine.
- For wisdom for the president, vice president, and members of the administration as they send ongoing aid to Ukraine.
