The United States is set to announce billions of dollars in military aid for Ukraine in the coming days after Congress failed to include an aid extension in its stopgap measure to keep the government open. According to defense officials and congressional sources, the first military aid package, totaling $375 million, is expected to be announced as soon as Wednesday.
The Biden administration has nearly $6 billion left in presidential drawdown authority to deliver arms and equipment to Ukraine before it expires at the end of the month. The Pentagon had urged Congress to extend the authority into the next fiscal year to provide critical supplies to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
