US to Pour Another $600 Million Worth of Weapons into Ukraine War
News - Middle East: The United States has announced that it will provide an additional $600 in weapons aid for Ukraine, deepening its involvement in the war in defiance of repeated warnings by Russia.
The Pentagon said on Thursday what it called the security assistance package for Ukraine includes demolition munitions and mine-clearing equipment as well as artillery ammunition.
The package falls under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), under which Washington procures equipment from the Pentagon or partners rather than drawing from US stocks.
The package will "support Ukraine's battlefield needs" and demonstrates "unwavering US support for Ukraine," the Pentagon said in a statement.
The announcement came a day after Washington pledged more than $1 billion in military and humanitarian aid for Kiev.
Washington said on Wednesday that controversial depleted uranium ammunition is part of the new security assistance package, despite global concerns about serious health problems caused by such ammunition.
