President Joe Biden announced today that the US will provide Ukraine with an additional $800 million in weaponry, committing a total of $1 billion in military aid to Kyiv this week alone.
The latest security assistance package doubles the $1 billion in security assistance previously given by the administration.
However, the military tech that the US will provide to Ukraine — which includes anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft systems — falls short of the more sophisticated air defense systems and combat aircraft Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked for during a speech to US lawmakers earlier today.
