SIMI VALLEY, California (Reuters) – The United States is readying a $988 million package of new additional arms and equipment to Ukraine for its ongoing fight against Russia’s invasion, according to a document seen by Reuters.
It nearly halves the available $2.21 billion remaining in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) as the Biden administration works to commit to buy weapons from industry, rather than pull from U.S. weapons stocks.
