Antony Blinken Releases $2B in Fresh U.S. Military Aid to EuropeSimon Kent 8 Sep 2022
Europe in general and Ukraine in particular will benefit from major new military aid worth more than two billion dollars unveiled Thursday by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Blinken made an unscheduled visit to the Ukraine capital Kyiv for the announcement.
In meetings with senior Ukrainian officials, Blinken said the Biden administration would provide the $2 billion in long-term foreign military financing to Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors, including NATO members and regional security partners “most potentially at risk for future Russian aggression.”
AP reports the spending push follows a $675-million package of heavy weaponry, ammunition and armored vehicles for Ukraine alone Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced earlier in the day at a conference in Germany.
That package includes howitzers, artillery munitions, Humvees, armored ambulances, anti-tank systems and more to add to previous U.S. contributions.
