The United States government is poised to deliver an additional $125 million worth of weaponry and munitions to Ukraine, according to reports from the Associated Press citing unnamed sources. This announcement, expected potentially as soon as Friday evening, aligns with the approach to Ukraine's Independence Day.
Earlier in the month, a significant number of Ukrainian troops and military equipment unexpectedly moved into Russia’s Kursk Region. Ukrainian authorities described this move as a tactical effort aimed at redistributing Russian forces across the front lines. Russia has since been actively countering this incursion and has increased its military activities in the Donbass region.
The expected military aid from the U.S. includes a variety of defense tools such as air defense missiles, munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Javelin missiles, anti-armor rockets, artillery shells of both 155mm and 105mm, as well as equipment for disrupting drones and electronic warfare, among other supplies.
This assistance is set to be expedited through the President’s drawdown authority from Pentagon reserves, facilitating swifter delivery to Ukraine.
According to AP, this new round of support would elevate the total U.S. military aid to Ukraine to over $55.7 billion since February 2022.
Despite ongoing operations, U.S. officials are reportedly still gauging the effectiveness of Ukrainian strategies on Russian territories.
Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh mentioned on Thursday, “we are still working with Ukraine on how that fits into their strategic objectives on the battlefield itself.”
Previously in this month, an official statement by the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed an identical $125 million military support package, with the same arsenal. In late July, a larger provision worth about $1.7 billion was also earmarked by Washington.
Earlier this year, debates between Congressional Republicans and Democrats briefly stalled military funding to Ukraine. The dispute was eventually settled by passing a foreign aid package in April.
Meanwhile, GOP nominee and former President Donald Trump has proposed significant reductions in military support to Ukraine if re-elected, alongside commitments to swiftly conclude the ongoing conflict.
