The Biden Administration unveiled its second round of military aid to Ukraine for $400 million, following its $95 billion and $60 million for the country.
The new package will consist a number of weapons, including:
Patriot missile system munitions
High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMAR) systems and ammunition
Stinger anti-air missiles, 155mm artillery rounds
Bradley Fighting Vehicles
Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAPs)
“As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine in its defense of its freedom,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
The package marks the second Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package since I signed the foreign aid package earlier this year.
Biden had previously authorized a $6 billion package under the new bill, including the beleaguered nation for a number of years.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that some equipment will arrive within days, while other packages will take longer.
Austin said the Pentagon is working to “move as fast as we can to get them the capability as fast as industry can produce.”
The news comes just a day after Russia launched its largest cross-border operation since the start of the war.
Russian forces advanced close to Ukraine’s second most populous city of Kharkov, where they eized territory and took a number of Ukrainian soldiers prisoner.
The Russian Army has also recorded gains along the frontline in Donetsk, where much of the fighting occurred.
Since the war began in 2022, the Biden administration has sent more than $100 billion in military and humanitarian aid.
What the hell are we?
Zelenskyy's ATM?......................
The financial rape of the American taxpayer continues unabated.
I need aid and pledge 10% to the Big Guy. 5% to James and 2.5% to Shumer.
When the hell is this going to stop?
Biden is insane.
big election right around the corner.
brandon falling way behind in the polls
gotta wash some more campaign funds thru the Uke laundramat.
where’s SBF & FTX crypto when you really need um?
So does this come out of the 60 billion package
Or is this new aid?
If new aid how can Biden approve it with out Congress?
But if it’s coming out of the 60 billion , why is this even news?
Confused
Indeed
Military aid cute wording by stooge staff.
Someone get this guy OUT OF OFFICE NOW!
$300M coming back as kickbacks to democRATs. The rest...oh well, that was just your money.
They sure spent the last 100 Billion pretty fast 💨! 400 million should last approximately 4.5 hours!

The Johnson will stop this obscenity
Exactly.
How is this news.
It’s like micronews.
Zip for Israel.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ten perfect The Man is $40,000,000.69. Enough to fund Biden’s retirement scheme this year , anyway ?)
If this crooked angry man is still in office, he’ll be sending 100 billion to Ukraine for “rebuilding” and 200 billion to Gaza for the same reason.
Take care of Americans, Joe!
Zelenskyy is a perpetual trick-or-treater who keeps ringing our doorbell. And we keep opening the door and giving him candy. Biden is pissing away our tax dollars and no one has the guts to tell him “no”.
251 days, 20 hours until Slow Joe is shown the door to the Trembling Acres funeral home.
