The United States is preparing a new $300 military aid package for Ukraine as House Republicans continue to block funding for the war-torn country.
The aid will be paid for from savings the Pentagon has from previous contracts it has negotiated.
‘I’m announcing an emergency package of security assistance of $300 billion worth of weapons and equipment to address some of Ukraine’s pressing needs,’ White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Tuesday.
“This is possible because of unanticipated cost savings in contracts that DOD negotiated to replace equipment we’ve already sent to Ukraine through previous drawdowns. We’re able to use these cost savings to make this modest amount of the security assistance available right now without impacting US military readiness,” he claimed.
“This ammunition will keep Ukraine’s guns firing for a period, but only a short period. It is not where near enough to meet Ukraine’s battlefield needs and it will not prevent Ukraine from running out of ammunition in the weeks to come. This package does not displace and should not delay the critical need to pass the bipartisan national security,” he added.
“When we sent Ukraine weapons last year, we negotiated contracts to replenish those weapons in US stockpiles,” Sullivan also stated.
“It turns out, we negotiated well, those contracts came in under budget. So we have a modest amount of funding available. and to put a fine point on it,” he touted.
The Daily Mail noted that the Pentagon has already sent $10 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine over the last two years, and is now trying to convince Congress to approve even more funds for the battle-worn nation.
