US prepares $2 billion-plus Ukraine aid package with longer-range

• The US is preparing more than $2 billion in military aid for Ukraine.
• It is anticipated to be disclosed this week.
• The component of the package is estimated to be $1.725 billion.

According to two US sources briefed on the topic, the US is preparing more than $2 billion in military aid for Ukraine, which will include longer-range rockets for the first time, as well as other munitions and weapons.

The help is anticipated to be disclosed this week, according to officials. It is also likely to include Patriot air defense system support equipment, precision-guided bombs, and Javelin anti-tank weapons.

One of the insiders stated that a component of the package, estimated to be $1.725 billion, will come through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which permits President Joe Biden’s administration to obtain weaponry from industry rather than from US arms stocks.

The White House did not respond. The contents and quantity of aid packages can change until the president signs them.

Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began in February 2022, the United States has contributed around $27.2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.
