The Pentagon will again dip into its stock of military hardware to send $500 million worth of firepower to Ukraine, including additional ammunition for the game-changing High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Patriot missiles, tank rounds and grenade launchers.
On Tuesday, the Defense Department announced the 35th drawdown of equipment from U.S. military inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. The Biden administration also promised Kyiv $2.1 billion worth of artillery and tank ammunition, rockets and anti-armor systems through Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funds.
“This new security assistance will allow Ukraine to continue to bravely defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war,” Mr. Blinken said. “Russia alone could end its war today. Until Russia does, the United States and our allies and partners will stand united with Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
“The chairman reaffirmed unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said Col. Butler. “The addition of Finland’s military capabilities to the defensive alliance creates valuable dilemmas that Russian leaders and military planners contemplating aggression will have to consider, potentially making such aggression less likely,” Mr. Bowman said.
