President Joe Biden's administration disclosed a new military aid package to Ukraine on Monday that is valued up to roughly $200 million.
This package, which includes additional munitions for air defense systems, artillery rounds, and anti-armor capabilities, was designated via the presidential drawdown authority, which means the equipment will come directly from existing U.S. stockpiles and can reach the battlefield in the near future.
The department had been tallying the equipment provided to Ukraine by using the price of the weapons they were replacing them with instead of the cost of the weapons provided to Ukraine itself. The difference in the total aid provided using the price of the new replacements and the cost of the weapons given to Ukraine is $6.2 billion.
