Joe Biden’s Secretary of State Announces $2.5 Billion More in Ukraine Military AidJordan Dixon-Hamilton 19 Jan 2023
President Joe Biden’s Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, announced another $2.5 billion in military aid for Ukraine on Thursday and said the United States “will stand united with Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
The most recent aid package comes after Congress awarded $45 billion to Ukraine in the massive $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that Biden signed into law last month, bringing the total amount of U.S. aid sent to Ukraine to over $110 billion.
Interestingly, the $45 billion Congress awarded was $8 billion more than the $37 billion that Biden’s administration requested.
“Pursuant to a delegation of authority from the President, I am authorizing our 30th drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine since August 2021,” Blinken said in a press release.
