U.S. announces Ukraine weapons package worth $725 million | 2 Dec 2024 | The United States will provide Ukraine with a $725 million weapons package, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday, [despite landslide election results proving Americans want an end to such insanity]. The assistance will include Stinger missiles, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), drones and land mines, among other items, Blinken said in a statement. The announcement marks a steep uptick in size from Biden's recent use of so-called Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the U.S. to draw from current weapons stocks to help allies launder money in an [a so-called] emergency.
