The Biden administration will be sending $250 million more in weapons and ammunition to Ukraine to support its ongoing counteroffensive against Russia.

The military aid package will utilize the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which means that the Pentagon will take the weapons from existing U.S. stockpiles and quickly ship them to Ukraine. It marks the Biden administration’s 45th drawdown of equipment from its own stocks to Ukraine since August 2021.
