The Pentagon announced a new military aid package for Ukraine valued at $1 billion, shortly after President Joe Biden signed a new supplemental bill into law.
This aid package, which is the 56th tranche of equipment to be provided to Ukraine from the U.S. military’s inventories since August 2021, is designed to support Ukraine’s most urgent needs, which include air defense and artillery.
The package includes RIM-7 and AIM-9M missiles for air defense, stinger anti-aircraft missiles, small arms and ammunition, 155 mm artillery rounds, and additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, among other things. The passage of this national security supplemental bill, which provides roughly $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, was months in the making. The administration has sought to get aid for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel passed for several months, but faced strong resistance from a pocket of Republicans who argued against providing aid for Ukraine.
