Washington announced on Nov. 1 a new military aid package for Kyiv worth $425 million, according to a U.S. Defense Department press release.
The day prior, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a joint press conference that the U.S. would “soon” provide Ukraine with another aid package in light of North Korean troops’ involvement in Russia’s war.
. . .
The aid list includes munitions for NASAMS missile systems, Stinger missiles, ammunition for HIMARS rocket systems, tube-launched, optically tracked, and wire-guided (TOW) missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems, as well as 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition.
They can’t. They’re too busy trying to send as many weapons as possible to Israel instead and Ukraine doesn’t have bipartisan support, so they’re not a top priority.
