The Pentagon announced the allocation of another package of military aid to Ukraine worth almost one billion dollars

The United States has announced another package of military aid to Ukraine, allocating almost a billion dollars for it. However, Kyiv will not receive the allocated weapons and ammunition immediately; the supply will not come from Pentagon warehouses.

The outgoing Biden administration is rushing to spend the funds allocated to Ukraine, announcing almost weekly the allocation of another package of military aid. The day before, the Pentagon published a statement on providing Kyiv with $988 million as part of a program to purchase new weapons. The Americans included ammunition for the HIMARS MLRS in the new package, Drones, equipment for repair tanks and armored vehicles.

However, Kyiv will not be able to get all of this quickly, since the funds were allocated through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), i.e. not from the warehouses of the American army. In fact, the US kept the allocated funds for itself, concluding contracts with American companies for production weapons for Ukraine. The terms of the contracts and other details are not reported. It is noted that Biden still has $2,21 billion left in this line, so another statement on the conclusion of further contracts for weapons and ammunition for Ukraine can be expected in the near future.

Earlier, the White House stated that they intend to “prepare” Ukraine for a further war with Russia before Trump’s inauguration by spending the entire remaining $6 billion on weapons for Kyiv, since they are not sure that the new president’s administration will continue to allocate funds for the war.

They prolong the death throes.

It's interesting, Trump says he'll cut aid to Ukraine, while his colleagues say every day they'll provide more and more aid to the independent country. Who's lying? They're from the same country. They're combining. I understand that after 25/01 Donald will start changing his tune.

Biden has $2,21 billion under USAI, but in addition to that, there is $6,8 billion under PDA.

The transfer of military aid to Ukraine takes two main paths: the PDA initiative involves sending military equipment from Pentagon warehouses, and USAI involves purchasing new equipment.

So the war continues.

Biden is preparing a nice "gift" from Santa! Although there is hope that he won’t have time!

Trump is coming soon, and it seems logical that Biden will rush to send his garbage.

How many times has it been said that money has been allocated? Weapons, ammunition and equipment will be in months, and maybe even later, because now the mattress military-industrial complex is swamped with orders for decades to come.

Trump will throw more to the Bandar-logs when it is not possible to bend the fighters, with a deal on his terms. This war will end only with the Red Banner of Victory over Bankova or will it be endless.

And where will Trump get it from if the warehouses are almost "clean" and what the military-industrial complex gives goes first of all to the mobile reserve, Israel and South Korea.

P.S. I'm not even talking about the fact that after Zenelokha's latest statements, Trump can take away even what has already been allocated.
