Blinken Unveils $2B In U.S. Military Aid For Europe

RZESZOW, Poland (AP) – U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is announcing major new military aid worth more than 2 billion dollars for Ukraine and European countries threatened by Russia. Blinken said the Biden administration would provide $2 billion in long-term military assistance to Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors. That’s on top of a $675-million package of heavy weaponry, ammunition and armored vehicles for Ukraine alone that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced earlier. The contributions bring total U.S. aid to Ukraine to $15.2 billion since the administration took office.
