The U.S. is planning to provide Ukraine with an aid package of $700-800 million for the domestic production of long-range capabilities, President Volodymyr Zelensky told journalists on Oct. 21.

On the same day, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced a new $400 million military aid package during a surprise visit to Kyiv. In addition, it was also announced that Washington is preparing to provide $800 million for the production of Ukrainian drones.

Zelensky and Austin also discussed how much of the $8 billion in aid the U.S. announced in late September could be dedicated to Ukrainian production by the end of the year.

      UK did 2.4B and UK folks are up in arms… Because we could give the 2.4b to the poor!

      I prefer a nation so close to us not be steam rolled by putin. That money wouldn’t have been spent on poor either way.

        Russia needs to be punished brutally, they need to remember this the next time they get horny for conquest.
