The Pentagon is preparing a substantial aid package for Ukraine, which will include Bradley IFVs, Humvees, air defenses, artillery shells, and M113 armored personnel carriers. The package is intended to bolster Ukraine’s military efforts as they face an ongoing conflict with Russia.
The package’s contents are still being finalized, but it will likely include items that Ukraine has identified as crucial to its defense. The aid is expected to be significantly larger than the Pentagon’s typical $300 million package, indicating a heightened sense of urgency in supporting Ukraine.
The US has emphasized the importance of Ukraine’s military success, warning that without timely and substantial assistance, Kyiv could face defeat by the end of the year. The aid package is part of ongoing efforts to replenish US stockpiles and procure new equipment for Ukraine.
The Senate is expected to approve the $61 billion aid package this week, after which President Biden will sign it into law. The Pentagon has indicated that the package will be ready for delivery within a few weeks of receiving authorization.
