Howitzers, Helicopters, Humvees Headed to Ukraine
APRIL 13, 2022 | BY C. TODD LOPEZ, DOD NEWS
An additional $800 million drawdown package of security assistance is on its way to Ukraine. Efforts to get the newly authorized equipment and supplies to the Ukrainian military will begin immediately, said Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby.
"As you've seen [it] go in the past, from the time the president authorizes drawdown until the first shipments actually start landing in the region can be as little as four to five days and then another couple of days once they're there to get processed and actually in the hands of Ukrainian frontline forces," Kirby said.
The Defense Department is still delivering equipment from the last $800 million package for Ukraine, and Kirby said that'll likely be complete by the middle of this month. But the shipment of new equipment will begin immediately, he said.
