Report: Biden Admin Poised to Give Ukraine $1 Billion Weapons Package
Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 5 Aug 2022
President Joe Biden’s administration is prepared to send Ukraine a $1 billion weapons package as early as Monday, according to a Reuters report.
The $1 billion weapons package would be one of the largest aid packages the United States has sent Ukraine since Russia invaded the country back in February.
The $1 billion weapons package will include “munitions for long-range weapons and armored medical transport vehicles,” according to Reuters sources, who spoke with the outlet on condition of anonymity.

Specifically, the weapons package will include “munitions for HIMARS, NASAMS surface-to-air missile system ammunition and as many as 50 M113 armored medical transports,” Reuters reported.
However, Reuters’ sources cautioned that the current package, valued at $1 billion, could change before its expected announcement on Monday.
The $1 billion weapons package would come just days after the Pentagon announced it would send Ukraine arms and equipment from the U.S. Department of Defense inventory worth up to $550 million.
“The United States continues to stand with Allies and partners from more than 50 countries in providing vital security assistance to support Ukraine’s defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russia’s aggression,” a State Department press release said.
The upcoming $1 billion weapons package would be funded through the Presidential Drawdown Authority.

Heck that's a bonus for the weapon manufacturers, and another big BENDOVER for American taxpayers who will have to pay to replace the inventory.
