The Biden administration announced on Monday a new lethal aid package for Ukraine totaling about $1.7 billion and largely consisting of missiles and ammunition for missile, artillery and air defense systems the US has previously provided to Ukraine.

The US is committing $1.5 billion in new weapons and equipment to Ukraine through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which will include “capabilities to augment Ukraine’s air defenses, fires, and anti-tank weapons, as well as funding to sustain equipment previously committed by the United States,” according to a Defense Department news release.

The Defense Department is also sending Ukraine up to $200 million worth of weapons and equipment directly from US Department of Defense stockpiles via Presidential Drawdown Authority, which includes “air defense interceptors; munitions for rocket systems and artillery; and anti-tank weapons,” according to the news release.

      I really like the idea of this bot, but there way too much text in that comment. Should be a third of that length at most.

        It’s mostly in a spoiler tag and is intended for it to give you only the conclusion and you’d need to click through to get to the detail.

        It doesn’t work on my client though.

          The new(ish) owner (David Zaslav) of CNN is friends with righties (John Malone) and is quoted saying they hired a guy to “Push CNN back to hard news and away from red-hot liberal opining”.

          Sus.

          For one, CNN has a history of firing / cutting ties with anyone that is pro-Palestine (not even anti-Israel, just anyone who simply doesn’t want people in Gaza and the West Bank to die).
