JAKARTA - The United States plans to deliver year-end weapons and equipment to Ukraine worth $250 million, which Foreign Minister Antony Blinken says is urgently needed to confront Russian aggression.
"Our assistance is critical to supporting Ukrainian partners, as they defend their country and their freedom from Russian aggression," Foreign Minister Blinken said, quoted from the US State Department website, Thursday, December 28.
The aid package this time includes air defense ammunition, other air defense system components, additional ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, guided ammunition, and more than 15 million rounds of ammunition.
It is known, President Joe Biden has asked Congress to provide an additional 61 billion US dollars in aid to Ukraine, as quoted by Reuters.
However, Republicans refused to agree to the aid without a deal with the Democratic Party, to tighten security along the US-Mexico border.
Meanwhile, the White House has warned that without additional allocations, US aid will expire by the end of this year for Ukraine's struggle to retake territory occupied by Russian troops since they invaded in February 2022.
