US to announce $3 billion in new military aid for Ukraine

WASHINGTON, 24 August 2022, (TON): A US official said “United States is expected to announce as early as Wednesday a new security assistance package for Ukraine of about $3 billion.”

The $3 billion weapons assistance package would be the largest that Washington has generated for Ukraine in the six months since Russian troops poured over its borders.

The new package is being prepared to coincide with Ukraine’s independence day.

The package uses funds from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative appropriated by Congress to allow the Biden administration to procure weapons from industry rather than taking weapons from existing US weapons stocks.
