The Biden administration has announced a new emergency military aid package worth $300 million for Ukraine, the first weapons tranche sent since late December. The aid was paid for with contract savings from previously appropriated supplemental funding. The Pentagon rushed the weapons to Ukraine after finding cost savings in its contracts, despite the military being overdrawn. This unexpected $300 million in additional military aid was announced by the U.S. President Joe Biden's administration. The aid includes rockets and ammo, and negotiating on earlier contracts freed up funds for this package.
