The United States officials on Thursday announced that Biden’s administration will send an additional $125 million dollars worth of military aid to Ukraine in support of their war against Russia.
The military package will include air defense missiles, Ammunitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Javelins and an array of other anti-armor missiles, counter-drone and counter-electronic warfare systems and equipment, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, vehicles, and other equipment.
The additional military aid package will bring the total US assistance package to a staggering amount of $55.7 billion dollars since the war began two years ago.
This announcement which is yet to be made publicly was disclosed by a United States official who has chosen to remain anonymous but also revealed that the official announcement could be made tomorrow, Friday which is the eve of Ukraine’s Independence Day, or anytime next week.
The military aid will be directly shipped out of the Pentagon stockpile of arsenal which will aid in the quick delivery of this military equipment to the Ukrainian army which has been fighting Russia’s invasion for over two years.
Ukraine will welcome the aid at a very important time when its forces look to expand their incursion into Russian territory, which has been extended to about 100 square kilometers of the Kursk region, an incursion which many still call a surprise including the US government that has denied having any idea of the offensive or even sanctioned it.
Whereas, the Russian troops are making significant gains in the eastern region of the Ukrainian City of Pokrovsk, a critical logistics hub that has made the United States government issued a warning to the Ukrainian leaders to evaluate the long-term effects of stretching their front line without repercussions of losing more ground to Russian troops.
In discussing this danger on Thursday, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Thursday disclosed that “we are still working with Ukraine on how that fits into their strategic objectives on the battlefield itself.”. She further said that the US government understands the need for the Ukrainian army to minimize the border controlled by the Russian forces.
Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday made his first visit to the border area where the Ukrainian forces launched a surprise offensive into the Russian Kursk region which began on the sixth of August.
