April 25, 2024 (EIRNS)—The Pentagon wasted little time announcing a new billion-dollar package of weapons and munitions for the Kyiv regime, once President Biden signed his $95 billion war budget into law on April 24. “This Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package has an estimated value of $1 billion and includes capabilities to support Ukraine’s most urgent requirements, including air defense interceptors, artillery rounds, armored vehicles, and anti-tank weapons,” the Pentagon statement said.
“This package will surge munitions, weapons, and equipment forward to support Ukraine’s ability to defend its frontlines, protect its cities, and counter Russia’s continued attacks,” the statement claimed in conclusion. “With the bipartisan support of Congress, Ukraine can count on strong and resolute U.S. leadership to provide consistent security assistance support—together with some 50 Allies and partners—to ensure its brave defenders receive the critical capabilities needed to fight Russian aggression.”
