A new US$$425 million arms package announced Friday uses the last of what's currently available in a US$18 billion fund dedicated to Ukraine
Earlier Friday, the Biden administration announced it was sending another US$425 million worth of additional arms and equipment to Ukraine. Most of the money — around US$300 million — is being drawn from the US$18-billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative , which funds contracts for weapons built or modified by defence companies.
The package also includes about US$125 million in weapons and equipment through presidential drawdown authority , which pulls weapons from existing U.S. stockpiles. But Jean-Pierre suggested those funds are running out as well.
“The people of Ukraine are on the front lines in the fight for freedom and democracy as we head into what will likely be another brutal winter full of Russian attacks,” she said. Johnson told Fox News last week that Congress will not “abandon” Kyiv, but added he wants to pin down the Biden administration’s “endgame” for the war.
