The Biden administration will provide Ukraine with $500 million worth of firepower like Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and Stryker armored personnel carriers by again reaching into its own stockpile of military equipment, Pentagon officials said...
The authorization is the Biden administration’s 41st drawdown of military equipment from Defense Department inventories earmarked for Ukraine since August 2021 as Kyiv tried to fight off a Russian invasion force. While Mr. Biden has been careful not to directly confront Russian forces, the U.S. has been by far the biggest military supplier to Ukraine since the invasion began in February 2022.
In addition to the Bradleys and Strykers, the latest drawdown includes more munitions for Ukraine’s Patriot air defense system and High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems , as well as demolition devices for clearing obstacles, anti-tank rockets and mine-clearing equipment. The Defense Department insisted Tuesday that there was no connection between the latest drawdown and Wagner Group commander Yevgeny Prigozhin’s stunning rebellion and aborted march on Moscow over the weekend. Mr. Prigozhin has fled to Belarus and the fate of his powerful mercenary force is still uncertain.
