On Wednesday, the Pentagon announced that it is sending a new round of military aid to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, worth one billion dollars (935 million euros). This decision was made after President Joe Biden signed a bill for a multimillion-dollar aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
The aid package includes air defense missiles, artillery shells, armored vehicles, anti-tank weapons, ammunition, and lighter weapons to help Ukraine strengthen its defensive capabilities and protect its cities from Russian attacks. The State Department emphasized that Ukraine can rely on strong U.S. support and support from allies and partners to fight against Russian aggression.
The United States Senate passed the aid package with bipartisan support after months of negotiations within the Republican party. President Biden approved the package despite opposition from some members of his own party who argued that it would escalate tensions with Russia. However, administration officials said that the aid was necessary to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression and prevent further conflict in the region.
