From October 05, 2022 post.

The Biden administration confirmed Tuesday it will send a further $625 million in direct military assistance to Ukraine to help it secure its borders. Advanced HIMAR rocket systems, 155mm Howitzers, armored vehicles, and ammunition top the list deemed critical to Kyiv’s defense against Russia’s invasion.

The aid comes as Americans continue to suffer from the domestic challenges presented by food shortages, inflation, gas prices, and a porous southern border flooding the country with almost five million illegal immigrants.

The United States has now committed more than $17.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, the vast majority of which followed Russia’s invasion on Feb. 24, a fact sheet from the Defense Department sets out.

Most of the equipment shipped to Ukraine has been drawn from U.S. military reserves.
