This aid package will be covered by funds that the Pentagon saved due to an accounting error. It allows for weapons and ammunition to be sent to Kyiv despite the exclusion of new aid to Ukraine from the stopgap spending bill passed by the House of Representatives last weekend to avert a shutdown.
Background:
- Earlier, the Pentagon reported that the US Congress should approve additional funding to enable the US to simultaneously provide the necessary military assistance to Israel and Ukraine.
- Over the weekend, Western media reported that the US President's Administration is seeking to secure up to US$100 billion for Ukraine through the Congress.
