The Pentagon on Friday announced another $275 million in weapons and equipment for Ukraine, pushing the amount of military aid committed to Kyiv to nearly $20 billion since Russia first attacked the country.
The package will include more ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), 80,000 155 mm artillery rounds, counter-unmanned aerial systems equipment, counter air defenses, additional High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, ambulances and medical equipment, 150 generators and other field equipment, according to a Defense Department release.
There are no major new weapons included in the latest U.S. lethal aid package, with the aid instead meant to restock systems already in Ukraine, including HIMARS, as well as bolster its air defenses.
“This security assistance package will provide Ukraine with new capabilities to boost its air defenses in addition to providing critical equipment that Ukraine is using so effectively to defend itself on the battlefield,” the release stated.

And a 6 pack of 7 year old kids for the big guy
Does it cut down on inflation if we spend everything in Ukraine?…
How many Ukrainians must die to cover up the Democrats crimes?
When will congress declare war?
When was the last time that happened?
“The 275 million is for Zelensky’s new villa in the south of France and a new Benz for the wife... Don’t tell anyone..”
I thought it was Switzerland.
And nothing for homeless vets, SMH. This “bleep” needs to stop.
The last time when victory was the objective and we won one.
No, but perhaps it can end quicker if from now on we just all revenue to Ukraine, and ask them to advise us when they have enough.
Can we just identify as victors?
I call BS
Yeah, but his posh 12 room 10 bath estate in Israel needs redoing.
Our military spending in 2022 alone is $1.64 TRILLION!
Our help to Ukraine is nothing more than a rounding error
I want to see the $350+ billion of frozen russian assets also given to Ukraine
And yes, Ukraine needs and deserves our help, imo
Zelensky opened another offshore bank account
under the name, “ US taxpayers are suckers.”
Take your ass and money over there.
I don’t care about either Slavic toilet.
If the frozen Russian assets are given to Ukraine the Russian Federation might void Western patents, copyrights and trademarks within the Federation.
All the money will stay in the US to pay for the new or existing military equipment shipped to Ukraine.
No it was for Florida mansion...
Hard to keep track...
And in return we will have a ally as tight with us as the the UK
Money well spent (graft and all)
