US to send Ukraine another $275M in air defense weapons, equipment

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.

I really think we should send Zelly far more billions. And of course, zero aid to US citizens put out of work by the Scamdemic and living in the streets, even in WA, D.C. a block from the White Hut.

The Uniparty is doing it. Backed, of course, by WEF scum Schwab, Bezos, etc.

I didn't get any free Covid cash, and I worked and paid off my school loans....

I think I'll change my name to Ukraine.
