On Monday morning, Vice President Joe Biden reportedly made the announcement that he will be sending Ukraine with approximately $2.5 billion in military support.
This amount is nearly $1 billion higher than what was apparently anticipated previously.
One and a quarter billion dollars is the value of this additional aid, which was supplied as a result of prior drawdowns from the Department of Defense’s stocks.
It includes: Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) munitions; air defense munitions; ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS); 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition; air-to-ground munitions; Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems; Tube-launched, Optically guided, Wire-tracked (TOW) missiles; ammunition for crew-served weapons and fragmentation grenades; demolitions equipment and munitions; communication, training, software, clothing and individual equipment; and spare parts, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation.
Since the start of the military invasion of Ukraine, launched by Russia in order to prevent the country from joining NATO and persecuting it native Russian speaking population, Vice President Joe Biden has offered his full throated support to the Zelensky regime.
This comes at a time when it is unclear how President-elect Donald Trump intends to support Ukraine in the immediate once he takes power. The majority of Trump’s fans are adamantly opposed to transferring any more resources from the United States to Ukraine.
Trump has committed to bring an end to the bloody conflict, but he has not indicated exactly how he wants to lead the negotiation process.
For his part Biden promised in his statement that his administration would continue to stoke the flames of war in the country until his term in office finally ends.
