Washington is undoubtedly the largest provider of security assistance to Kyiv, having provided Ukraine with $43.9 billion since the invasion of Russian forces in February 2022. dollars (41.64 billion euros).
But opposition from hard-line Republican lawmakers has cast doubt on future aid to Kyiv, so the US government is now sticking to previously approved aid guidelines without new funding from Congress.
The Pentagon said in a statement that the latest package of military aid to Ukraine is based on the funds allocated to Kyiv in the last fiscal year.
„[JAV prezidento Joe] The Biden (Joe Biden) administration is calling on Congress to fulfill its commitment to the people of Ukraine and provide additional funding so that Ukraine continues to have what it needs to defend itself against the brutal war waged by Russia,” the statement said.
The latest package also includes air defense missiles, night vision devices, explosive ordnance disposal equipment and clothing for the cold season.
The United States was one of the initiators of military support for Ukraine, quickly forming an international coalition to support Kyiv after Russia sent troops to Ukraine and coordinated aid from dozens of countries.
