The United States has allocated another $ 450 million to help Ukraine.
The US Department of Defense has announced the allocation of a new package of security assistance to Ukraine worth $ 450 million.
The US Department of Defense announced on Friday morning the allocation of $ 450 million in new security assistance to Ukraine.
The Pentagon said in a statement that the aid was intended to meet Ukraine’s vital needs in the war. According to the statement, this is the thirteenth order to withdraw equipment from Pentagon reserves for allocation to Ukraine from August 2021.
The United States has provided about $ 6.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Joe Biden took office, according to the Pentagon statement.
Of that, $ 6.1 billion has been sent since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24. The United States has sent more than $ 8.7 billion in aid to Ukraine since 2014.
Russia has ordered a military strike on Ukraine since March 26. This development came days after Moscow formally recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics in eastern Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said his military operation is aimed at “demilitarizing Ukraine” and “de-Naziizing” the country.
Russia has also said that Ukraine has not fulfilled its obligations under the Minsk agreements reached in 2014 and 2015 to resolve the dispute between the separatists and Kiev.
Western countries have repeatedly imposed sanctions on most of Moscow’s financial institutions, energy sector and political elite in response to Russian military action.
