Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday that the U.S. will soon announce an additional $2.3 billion in security assistance for Ukraine, to include anti-tank weapons, interceptors and munitions for Patriot and other air defense systems.
Austin’s remarks came as Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov met with him at the Pentagon. And they mark a strong response to pleas from Kyiv for help in battling Russian forces in the Donetsk region.
Austin said the aid will come through presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take the weapons from its stocks and send them more quickly to Ukraine.

How can you fight a war without a 4.5 million dollar Bugatti for your wife?
To: McGruff
Bish needs US taxpayer money for her new Bugatti. People dying all around her and these two bask in greed.

That money is needed here in the USA. Needed because our nation is broken, and to rid us of invaders.

::Alongside some 50 allies and partners::
WHO are these allies and partners? How about them putting up the money??
To: McGruff
How is this even possible???
I guess the US prints the money, and has the IMF/World Bank “Loan” the money to Ukraine, for Ukraine to then “buy” the armaments from the US MIC...
