The administration of US President Joe Biden is working on the formation of the largest military aid package in history for Ukraine. It is worth an estimated $725 million, and an official announcement is expected by next Monday.
According to preliminary data, the aid will include:
- anti-tank weapons;
- mines;
- drones;
- Stinger missiles ;
- ammunition for HIMARS ;
- cluster ammunition for GMLRS .
This aid is aimed at strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities and deterring the Russian offensive.
This package will be the largest in the history of the presidential drawdown authority (PDA). Previously, such packages usually amounted to between $125 and $250 million, but this time its scale is much higher than previous volumes.
It is noted that the Biden administration still has access to $4-5 billion in PDAs that were approved by Congress to support Ukraine.
The final size and content of the package may change before Joe Biden signs the document. At the same time, the US Congress will receive an official notification about this package in the coming days.
