The new package will be worth $150 million and include 25 000 155 mm artillery rounds, counter-artillery radar, jamming equipment, field equipment and spare parts, a US official said.The new transfers would come from the remaining $250 million in the Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allows the President to authorize the transfer of excess weapons from US stocks without congressional approval in response to an emergency.

Biden urged lawmakers to work quickly, saying the latest weapons authorisation “nearly exhausted” drawdown authority funding. “Congress should quickly provide the requested funding to strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield and at the negotiating table,” his statement said.

Just exactly where do Americans get this money from?

People every day are condemning Russia for attacking Ukraine, but don't condemn the ones who are arming Ukraine. Do you want the war to escalate or what, because the solution to this war is not arming Ukraine. Arming Ukraine is adding more fuel to the fire.

Making billions while Ukraine is suffocating. Soon it will be paying usa with it's land and mineral resources
