The Biden administration has just announced yet another new military equipment package for Ukraine worth $600 million, bringing the total US military aid pledged since the start of the conflict to $15.1 billion. That’s just military aid. We also send humanitarian aid and funds to our executive agencies.
The White House said it was the 21st time the Defense Department has pulled weapons and other equipment off the shelves to deliver to Ukraine.
This is on the heels of a nearly $2.9 billion infusion of aid and financing support announced last week and more than $3 billion in late August.
Biden is taking arms directly from US military stockpiles for use by foreign allied forces. This is as he also drains our emergency oil reserves, so gas prices come down temporarily – until the election.
