00:01. The US will transfer Stinger missiles and ammunition worth $125 million to Ukraine.
The United States will transfer Stinger missiles and ammunition worth $125 million to Ukraine, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Friday. This is the next installment of the aid package approved by Congress in April 2024, Reuters recalled.
After months of delay due to Republican resistance, the US Congress in April approved the Ukraine aid bill, under which Kiev will receive $60.8 billion, of which $23 billion is funds to replenish the American arsenal after the transfer of equipment to Ukraine, $13.8 billion – for the purchase of equipment for Ukraine, and PLN 11.3 billion – to maintain US forces in the region.
In addition, the law gives the president the authority to transfer weapons worth almost $8 billion. In addition, the bill includes almost PLN 9.5 billion in financial and economic support for the Ukrainian budget.
The impasse over aid to Ukraine was resolved thanks to the decision of Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson to speak out against the extremist wing of his party, despite threats to remove him from office. The breakthrough was made possible, among other things, by the attitude of Democrats, who suggested that they would protect Johnson against attempts by extremist Republicans to oust him.
