Since the Russian invasion began in February 2022, the United States has provided approximately $44 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
The United States is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine worth $150 million. The Voice of America reported this, citing sources, on Wednesday, October 25.
The weapons package could be announced today, three US officials said.
The new aid package may include:
-
GMLRS missiles for the HIMARS system;
-
ammunition for the NASAMS air defense system;
-
TOW anti-tank missiles;
-
AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles;
-
155 mm shells.
It was found that this package could be the 49th case of using presidential powers to redirect weapons from US stocks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, the United States has provided approximately $44 billion in security funding to Ukraine.
At the same time, the Pentagon still has about $5 billion approved by Congress for military aid to Ukraine after the military department overestimated the cost of weapons supplied to our country by about $6 billion.
We remind you that on October 11, the United States confirmed a $200 million arms package to Ukraine. The package also includes AIM-9 missiles for the new air defense system, which will soon be delivered to Ukraine.
