The Pentagon announced Thursday that President Biden authorized another $100 million weapons package for Ukraine, bringing the total military aid shipped to the country since Russia invaded on February 24 to $3.9 billion.
The Pentagon said the latest weapons package includes 18 155MM Howitzers, 18 tactical vehicles to tow the Howitzers, AN/TPQ-36 counter-artillery radars, field equipment, and spare parts.
The Biden administration started sending Howitzers to Ukraine in April, marking a significant escalation in US military aid. The US also started training Ukrainian troops in Germany and elsewhere in Europe to use the Howitzers and other advanced equipment.
The $100 million authorized on Thursday came from a drawdown authority that allows President Biden to ship weapons from the Pentagon’s stockpile directly to Ukraine. The $100 million package exhausted the remaining drawdown funds left from the $13.6 billion in Ukraine aid that was part of a spending bill President Biden signed in March.
The Senate on Thursday passed a $40 billion new Ukraine aid package that includes $11 billion for the drawdown authority and billions in other military assistance. The Pentagon said if Congress didn’t pass the new aid funding by Thursday, there would be a delay in US arms shipments to Ukraine.
Setting up Nazis in the Ukraine with Tens of Billions of dollars for Weapons and running FBI Trained Mass Murderers inside the US, what a Racket War is.

They are both proficient and redundant…
These warmongering profiteers have no shame. They gladly show their monstrous blood-stained greed in broad daylight!
More targets for Kinzel.
Yep Zelensky will fight until the last Ukrainian is dead and gone. Maybe that is not a bad thing.
Ukrainians are the latest fuel that keeps the money fire for the MIC burning. Use them to incite Russia then sit back while they get slaughtered while using and expending US war matériel so that replacements can bring even more windfalls for the MIC.
Pouring all these US weapons to Ukraine gives Russia the excuse to destroy them all and at the same time get rid of all Neo Nazis militia even though that was not their first intention…
