Pentagon will give Ukraine $200 million in arms and ammunition to support Kyiv’s counteroffensive as forces on the front lines face difficult challenges against a deeply entrenched Russian resistance.
In a published report from AP News, according to a U.S. official, this most recent shipment will include missiles for the Patriot air defense system and the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), as well as ammunition for howitzers, tanks, Javelin rockets, mine-clearing equipment, 12 million rounds of small arms ammunition, and demolition bombs, stand of US on Russia Ukraine war. Because the assistance has not yet been made public, the officials spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The assistance comes as U.S. financing for Ukraine is almost completely depleted, and the Biden administration expects to ask Congress for a new package of additional money to maintain that support as this shows support for the US on Russia Ukraine war. Since Russia’s invasion last year, Ukraine has already gotten more than $43 billion in aid from the United States.
These monies were used to purchase howitzers and countless rounds of ammunition to counter the considerably larger Russian military. Much of the ammo and equipment has already been used up because of the brutal and violent ground battle there and to sustain Ukraine, this shows the stand of the US on Russia Ukraine war.

Administration stands still, continues military support to Ukraine, US on Russia Ukraine war
In a recently published article from ABC News, through two programs, the Biden administration is aiding the Ukrainian war effort, which shows the stand of the US on Russia Ukraine war. The Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) provides funding for long-term contracts for heavier military systems like tanks that need to be either produced or upgraded by defense contractors.
The presidential drawdown authority (PDA), removes weapons from existing U.S. stockpiles. Both funding streams continue until September 30—the fiscal year’s end. Additionally, there are still roughly $600 million in USAI monies from the fiscal year 2023, and this may support this stand o the US on Russia Ukraine war.
