The Department of Defense announced a major military aid package to Ukraine valued at up to $2.5 billion on Thursday evening.
This package is headlined with the inclusion of 90 Stryker armored personnel carriers with 20 mine rollers and 59 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles with 590 TOW anti-tank missiles and 295,000 rounds of 25mm ammunition. This “will provide Ukraine with two brigades of armored capability” when combining it with the 50 Bradleys that were included in the previously most recent aid package, according to a Pentagon announcement.
Ukrainian leaders have repeatedly pushed for these capabilities, though."We're kind of at the agree-to-disagree position," he added. He noted that the decision could change in the future. Earlier this week, the United Kingdom announced it would supply 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Kyiv, putting additional pressure on other countries to match the contribution. Berlin, comparatively, has refused to transfer the German-made Leopard tanks so far in the war and has blocked other countries with them from doing the same.
