The US will allocate $725M in additional security assistance for Ukraine.
The Biden administration authorized an additional $725M in security aid for Ukraine Friday, as the country recovers from Russia’s recent barrage of missile attacks on civilian targets. “The new package includes munitions, arms, and equipment from US Department of Defense inventories,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement Friday. The assistance consists of High-speed Anti-Radiation Missiles (HARMs), anti-tank weapons, small arms, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and small arms, according to a press release from the Department of Defense. In addition, the aid package also provides medical supplies, more than 200 high mobility vehicles, and thousands of rounds of ammunition for artillery and Remote Anti-Armor Mine (RAAM) systems.
