The Biden administration authorized an additional $725 million dollars in security aid for Ukraine, as the country recovers from Russia’s recent barrage of missile attacks on civilian targets
The Biden administration authorized an additional $725 million dollars in security aid for Ukraine Friday, as the country recovers from Russia’s recent barrage of missile attacks on civilian targets. The Presidential Drawdown includes “munitions, arms and equipment from US Department of Defense inventories,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement Friday. The additional assistance brings the total US military aid to Ukraine since January 2021 to more than $18 billion, Blinken said.
” The announcement for additional aid follows a brutal week of deadly Russian strikes in Ukraine, including in the Kyiv region, on civilian targets. The strikes have damaged Ukraine’s power systems, forcing people to reduce consumption to avoid blackouts. The strikes have been viewed as retaliation for the recent explosion on the Crimea bridge that curtailed road and rail traffic, striking a blow against Russia’s military effort in Ukraine.
