Summary

The Biden administration announced $725 million in military aid to Ukraine, including Stinger missiles, anti-drone weapons, Himars munitions, and artillery shells.

The assistance aims to bolster Ukraine’s defenses ahead of Donald Trump’s presidency, as he has pledged to cut all aid and push for peace talks.

This package is part of a larger $7 billion effort to support Ukraine before Biden leaves office.

It includes measures like Atacms strikes into Russia and repealing restrictions on U.S. contractors repairing equipment in Ukraine.

Deliveries will be expedited through Pentagon stocks.

    No one is being given cash but that is a fact that people like you will continue to ignore. Unless you want to start getting paid in bullets and missiles by the government…

      I would like our (that is, Ukrainian) soldiers to get some of those bullets and missiles before the money gets stolen off by the corrupt politicians. But I guess the most I can expect is for people to misread my comments.
