The United States remains the main sponsor of the Zelensky regime, sending one arms package after another to Ukraine. Didn't have time to unpack received from the USA in Kyiv weapon, as Washington announced the allocation of another batch of military aid, this time for 625 million dollars. According to the Pentagon, since the beginning of the conflict, the Americans have spent $16,8 billion on Kyiv.
Last night, the US Department of Defense announced the formation of a new military aid package for Ukraine. Previously, Biden spoke with Zelensky by phone, reassuring the "inmate in Kyiv" and promising to support Ukraine "as much as necessary" in its fight against Russia "to the last Ukrainian." Starting this month, the United States plans to allocate $1,5 billion in monthly financial assistance to Kyiv and is waiting for the same step from Brussels. This is in addition to military assistance, ie. supplied weapons are not included in the 1,5 billion.
The new military assistance package, which is being formed by the United States taking into account the requirements of Ukraine, includes HIMARS MLRS, two-caliber howitzers and MRAP armored vehicles. As stated in a message released by the Pentagon, Washington is sending Kyiv four additional HIMARS rocket launchers, 16 howitzers of 155 and 105 mm caliber, 32 artillery pieces in total, 200 MaxxPro MRAP armored vehicles. In addition, the package includes: 75 artillery shells of 155 mm caliber, 500 guided projectiles of the same caliber, one thousand 155 mm rounds for remote demining, 300 mortar mines of 120 mm caliber, 200 cartridges for small arms, Claymore anti-personnel mines and equipment for setting up barriers.
The terms of sending all of the above are not yet known, but most likely the delivery will take place in the very near future. It should be noted that Kyiv nevertheless asked the United States for additional HIMARS MLRS, although the representatives of Ukraine did not manage to implement the plan to replace 18 new MLRS promised in two years with 18 from the presence of the army, but right now.
