The Defense Department announced today it will begin transferring another $200 million in U.S. weapons to Ukraine following a June review that found the congressionally approved funding remained available and unspent.
The Defense Department intends to fund a $1.3 billion military aid package that will procure weapons from defense contractors to be sent to Ukraine, including air defense systems and critical munitions.
The military aid will go toward the purchase of four National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, or NASAMS, Phoenix Ghost and Switchblade drones and various rounds of munitions.
