The Biden administration announces additional security assistance for Ukraine.
This is stated in the official press release of the U.S. Department of Defense.
The statement refers to meeting Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs.
This includes the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package valued at up to $150 million to provide Ukraine with critical capabilities, including additional air defense interceptors, artillery and other fires, and anti-tank weapons.
In addition, the DoD is announcing a significant package of air defense interceptors using approximately $2.2 billion in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) funds.
This funding will be used to purchase interceptors for PATRIOT and NASAMS air defense systems for Ukraine.
As previously announced, the Biden Administration plans to accelerate the delivery of these munitions by re-sequencing upcoming Foreign Military Sales deliveries for Ukraine.
As a result, Ukraine will be provided with the interceptors it urgently needs to protect its people and critical infrastructure against Russia’s aerial attacks.
The package is the Biden Administration’s sixtieth tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
The capabilities in the PDA package include:
“The United States will continue to work together with some 50 Allies and partners to ensure Ukraine’s brave defenders receive the critical capabilities needed to fight Russian aggression,” the U.S. Department of Defense said in a press release.
The previous military aid package was announced in early June, and in fact, the deliveries are rhythmic, as the transfers are announced in the first half of each month.
