President Joe Biden has recently spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the urgent need for military aid. The Pentagon has announced that once approved, the US will deliver new military assistance to Ukraine in a matter of days. This aid package is expected to be worth $95 billion and will include tanks, armored vehicles, defense against air attacks, and large quantities of artillery ammunition.
The Defense Department spokesman stated that they hope to deliver the aid within days, although they did not provide specific details on the assistance. The Senate is set to approve this military aid package, which includes $61,000 allocated specifically for Ukraine’s security needs.
Russia has warned the US that their military support for Ukraine could end in a fiasco like Vietnam. However, the US remains committed to providing additional assistance to Ukraine based on their most urgent needs. The Pentagon is working diligently to finalize the assistance and ensure it is delivered promptly to support Ukraine in the ongoing conflict.
In the past two years since Russia invaded Ukraine, the US has provided over $75 billion in military aid to help strengthen their defense capabilities and protect critical security needs. This latest aid package is just one way that the US is continuing its efforts to ensure peace and stability in Europe and beyond.
