US sends ‘desperate’ Ukraine $454m in weapons as further aid stalls
Washington | The Biden administration will send an additional $US300 million ($454 million) in security assistance to Ukraine, an “extraordinary measure” being taken as the US president’s request for billions of dollars more remains stalled in Congress.
The emergency package, announced by the White House on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT), would be funded by “unanticipated cost savings” from contracts the Pentagon had brokered to replace weapons previously provided to Ukraine, national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters.
