US announces emergency $300 million military aid package for Ukraine

The United States will send a new military aid package for Ukraine worth $300 million, President Joe Biden's administration said on Tuesday (March 12), the first such move in months as additional funds for Kyiv remain blocked by Republican leaders in Congress.

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the funding was coming from unanticipated cost savings from Pentagon contracts and would be used for artillery rounds and munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).

The last drawdown was in December 2023 when funds to replenish stocks fell to zero.

Are Ukraine going to pay this back? I don’t want my taxes going anywhere but to help me and only me

[rons]

Not our problem. We need to stop wasting money and fund the homeless veterans and secure our border. Why is our tax money funding this? European countries should be taking most of the burden to fund this.

[georgesmathieu]

What does 300 million dollars mean compared to the 61 billion held up by political games in the US?

[ogriboy]

About time something was provided. Someone has woken up to the global threat this represents.

[HadenoughBS]

Yeah act on stop giving corrupt bums tax dollars

[ChristinaDuffy-zt]

Y dnt you give this money to children who are hungry and are crying cus they are hungry instead of spending it on wars

[MrBakedDaily]

Too bad the usa cant use all this money to help people thats old and payed taxes for social security and can barley get by instead

[conradwoodiwiss]

Hundred's of Billions and not one dollar has been accounted for, such a poor country yet somehow Zelinsky now has mansions, yachts, ect

[tijo]

Please give my tax dollars to Ukraine Military Aid. Not to the illegals here in the U.S.

[entropyachieved]

About time. Russia needs to be stopped.

[drbendover]

Ukraine is a lot smaller than it was when this war started and next year it will be even smaller when it's all over:)

[brutalistconcrete]

no more money for ukraine we cant even provide housing for our own citizens.

[martinbreznicky]

It's just for little green man and his cronies. Not for weapons.😊

[nigermant]

If sending that obscene amount of money to fuel the slaughter of more loved ones (hope most of them are) from a country full of homeless and people in need is better than peace talks... it means people is not using the brain or the lack of it. Beyond outrageous. Actually, psychopathic.

Russia is beating the heck out of Ukraine soldiers by air. Glide bombs 500kg, 1500kg, plus rockets, missiles, drones, artillery at a 10x advantage. Ukraine cannot overcome this. Negotiations are the only way to save Ukrainians.
