On Wednesday, the Pentagon announced its approval of a new one billion dollar military aid package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This came just minutes after President Joe Biden signed off on a multimillion-dollar aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
The new aid package includes air defense missiles, artillery shells, armored vehicles, anti-tank weapons, and ammunition to help Ukraine strengthen its defensive capabilities and protect against Russian attacks. With bipartisan support from Congress, the United States is committed to providing ongoing security assistance to Ukraine and its allies to combat Russian aggression.
President Biden signed the bill on Wednesday, which allocates a total of 90 billion euros in military aid. The majority of this (57 billion euros) goes to Ukraine, with Israel receiving 24 billion euros and Taiwan getting 7.5 billion euros. The aid package was approved by the United States Senate, putting an end to months of negotiations within the Republican party.
The aim of this aid package is to provide critical support to Ukraine and its allies in the face of increasing threats from Russia. This will help Ukraine bolster its defenses and protect its sovereignty against external threats.
