US prepares new aid package for Ukraine worth $725 million

It should include anti-personnel mines.

claims that the administration of US President Joe Biden is preparing a $725 million arms package for Ukraine, which should be officially announced by next Monday.

According to information from Washington officials, it will include funds that should help our state contain the Russian offensive in the east of the country. We are talking about a number of anti-tank systems, drones, Stinger missiles and shells for HIMARS, including cluster GMLRS.

Also, for the first time, the list should include anti-personnel mines, the supply of which was unblocked by a recent decision of the White House owner.

Reuters journalists note that aid packages under the PDA program, which provides for the provision of weapons from the US's own stockpiles, have recently been limited to amounts of 125-250 million dollars, so the upcoming one may become almost a record. This is a sign of Biden's attempt to use as much of the amount agreed upon by Congress to arm Ukraine – although, as the media writes, it will still not be possible to do this 100%.
