US to Send Ukraine at Least $275 Million in New Weapons
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – The Pentagon announced Tuesday that the US will be sending Ukraine a further minimum of $275 million in new weaponry to continue its fight against the Russian invasion that began in February 2022, the Associated Press reports.
The new tranche of weapons will be provided through presidential drawdown authority which allows the Pentagon to quickly get them off the shelves to Ukraine’s front line, AP said.
Tuesday’s announcement follows US President Joe Biden’s decision on Monday (November 18) to give Ukraine the authority to fire longer-range missiles deeper into Russia.
Biden’s decision then caused Russian President Vladimir Putin to officially change Russia’s nuclear doctrine by lowering the threshold for using nuclear weapons.
“US officials contend that Russia’s change in nuclear doctrine was expected, but Moscow is warning that Ukraine’s new use of the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, inside Russia on Tuesday could trigger a strong response,” AP noted in its report.
The latest tranche of weapons to Ukraine include air defense High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, Javelin anti-armor munitions, and other equipment and spare parts, US officials told AP.
In addition to the new weapons, the Biden administration is set to send Ukraine its portion of a $50 billion loan that is backed by frozen Russian assets before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, AP was told by US officials.
