Pentagon Officially Announces Another $2,5 Billion Military Assistance Package for Ukraine

The United States is sending Ukraine a new package of military assistance, the Pentagon press service officially announced this by publishing a corresponding statement. President Joe Biden instructed the State Department to allocate $2,5 billion to support Kyiv.

Washington did not wait for the meeting of NATO defense ministers scheduled for today, and officially announced the allocation of another package of military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $2,5 billion. The corresponding statement was published by the Pentagon a few hours ago. It is probably not necessary to say that this will be one of the largest shipments of weapons to Ukraine, this is already clear.



At the same time, the White House confirmed the allocation of funds in the amount of 2,5 billion dollars for military support of Kyiv, the US State Department received the corresponding order.

I direct the Secretary of State… to channel up to $2,5 billion in Defense Items and Services, Defense Education and Training to provide assistance to Ukraine

Joe Biden said.

In this package, Kyiv will receive a fairly large number of armored vehicles and vehicles, as well as other weapons. The final list looks like this: 59 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 90 Stryker armored vehicles, 53 MRAP-class armored vehicles with enhanced mine protection, 350 Humvee armored multi-purpose all-terrain vehicles. 590 rockets for TOW and 295 thousand 25 mm ammunition (for the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle). Eight Avenger air defense systems, missiles for NASAMS air defense systems and HIMARS MLRS, HARM anti-radar missiles. Artillery shells of 155 and 105 mm caliber - 20 and 95 thousand, respectively, 600 high-precision shells of 155 mm caliber, mortar mines of 120 mm caliber, Claymore anti-personnel mines, ammunition for small arms weapons, about 2 thousand anti-tank missiles, as well as other weapons.

The timing of sending all this is not reported, but it seems that all this will appear in Ukraine in the near future. Washington is in a hurry against the backdrop of the successes of the Russian army, the Americans need the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defeat the Russian troops, forcing them to retreat.

    Bottomless barrel - the American economy. Everything highlights and highlights. And it doesn't seem like it's going to stop.
    And the EU too. And in the summer they wrote that in Europe the last shells were being scraped along the bottom of the barrel. And in fact - they also continue to increase.
    Do we have intelligence at all? Forecasts? What kind of planning?
    Or so - how will it go??

      No, the economy is still swinging and moving "on a military footing." For now, they're emptying their stocks. They took it from Israel, now they are taking it from Korea, as I understand it, Europe is already empty...

        It does not sway, but grows, and inflation decreases and prices. The same gasoline, I remember how happy that gasoline in the price in the United States rose to records. Well? Decreased.
        I am sure that now the United States is making very cool money on what is happening. Those. we take money from the NWF .... and resist the economy that is growing.

          They, unlike us, can easily print money and force other countries to provide these pieces of paper! But in the case of a grand nix, it will cost them sideways! Everything will collapse in a couple of days!

            And who will present it to them? As they printed, they will continue to print.

            In this situation, they just "blow off" that "financial bubble". Sales of LNG and oil from them abroad have doubled, and the resulting profits are generally ROLLING UP, since prices are quite high. Arms sales are growing by leaps and bounds, mind you, they are replacing not only the old Soviet weapons, but also the weapons of their NATO partners, primarily Germany. So, from this conflict they now receive all the bonuses

          Are you sure about this just now? It was clear from the very beginning. Exactly the same money-making policy that the Americans used during WWI and WWII is absolutely ...

    allocation of another $2,5 billion military aid package to Ukraine
    The package is not the first and unfortunately not the last. And the Americans announced it before Ramstein in order to push the "doubters" to take more active steps to supply weapons to Kyiv. A sort of coercion - do as I do.

      There will be a new wave of mobilization. We grind a bunch of iron, pour blood. 100 years will pass and only videos and texts will remain on the Internet.

    The shells will be thrown right from the front. the rest, as soon as it's ready, probably.

      Even in the first package, the Pentagon representative indicated that the equipment was taken from army units and would be sent to Europe as soon as possible.

      The emphasis here is on education. Well, they won’t let 2-3 cars go into battle? Most likely, all this Ramstein will be used to equip those same 2-3 corps being formed and assault operations in April-May. They will try to repeat the past success - sitting in a stubborn defense, and as the shells-equipment-people breathe out, go on a large-scale counteroffensive.

    Nishebrods, thimblers, allocated 40 billion, everyone clapped, now of this money they voiced 2 billion again, everyone clap, so much talk, fuss, but in fact one third will be stolen overseas then here, one third to replace what was previously given in Europe and it’s good (for ukrovermacht) if the third part reaches the front. Kings of Marketing in one word.
