US Announces Additional $725 Million Military Aid Package for Ukraine
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – The United States announced on December 2 a new $725 million military aid package for Ukraine as it continues to defend itself against the Russian invasion launched in February 2022, Radio Free Europe (RFE) reports.
The announcing of a new tranche of US aid for Ukraine follows last month’s announcement by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that a first shipment of landmines was being delivered to the Ukrainian army because Russia had begun using dismounted infantry units instead of vehicles to advance, RFE reports.
In a press release confirming the latest aid package to Ukraine, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “As part of the surge in security assistance that President Biden announced on September 26, the United States is providing another significant package of urgently needed weapons and equipment to our Ukrainian partners as they defend against Russia’s ongoing attacks.
The package includes Stinger missiles; Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) munitions; ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS); 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition; Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS); Non-persistent antipersonnel landmines; Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems; Tube-launched, Optically guided, Wire-tracked (TOW) missiles; small arms and ammunition; demolitions equipment and munitions; equipment to protect critical national infrastructure; and spare parts, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation, Blinken said.
“The United States and more than 50 nations stand united to ensure Ukraine has the capabilities it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression,” Blinken added.
