USA: A new $8 billion military aid package is expected for Ukraine

The US is set to announce a new military aid package to Ukraine, estimated at $8 billion, two US officials said. The Biden administration was in emergency negotiations with Congress to ensure it would be allowed to draw up to $5.6 billion in military aid to Ukraine before Sept. 30 — when the current fiscal year ends. A second package to be announced on Thursday involves $2.4 billion in aid under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) program, which allows the US government to buy weapons for Ukraine from companies, rather than drawing them from US military stocks.
