U.S. Announces Additional $250 Million Weapons Package for Ukraine Amid Ongoing Russian Invasion

The Biden administration is providing $250 million in weapons drawn from existing U.S. stockpiles to support Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion.
The new package includes ammunition, missiles, medical supplies, and equipment to boost Ukraine's battlefield capabilities and air defenses.
Over $43 billion in security assistance has been sent by the U.S. to Ukraine since Russia's invasion began in February 2022.
Some criticize extensive aid without sufficient oversight while others argue advanced weapons are urgently needed to counter Russia's attacks.
Additional funding became available after the Pentagon overvalued previously sent equipment, allowing the new $250 million package.
