US Preparing Additional $800 Million Military Aid For Ukrain

The United States is readying about $800 million of additional military aid to Ukraine.

US President Joe Biden would authorise the assistance using his Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allows the president to approve the transfer of excess weapons from US stocks, Aljazeera reports on Friday.

It added that an announcement could slip into next week, and cautioned that weapons packages can change in value before they are announced.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the United States has sent billions of dollars in security assistance to Ukraine.

This is with weaponry including high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), mortar and artillery ammunition, Javelin anti-tank missile systems, explosives and demolition equipment.
