Russia in recent days was <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-middle-east-africa-turkey-006b45ba50be9a99d22ffc1af9daf405\" target=\"_blank\">moving troops and equipment in the direction of the southern port cities<\/a> to stave off the Ukrainian counteroffensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt every stage of this conflict, we have been focused on getting the Ukrainians what they need, depending on the evolving conditions on the battlefield,\u201d Colin Kahl, undersecretary of defense for policy, said Monday in announcing the new weapons shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new U.S. aid includes additional rockets for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/07\/22\/500-plus-drones-extra-himars-headed-to-ukraine-in-latest-us-assistance-package\/\" target=\"_blank\">High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS,<\/a> as well as thousands of artillery rounds, mortar systems, Javelins and other ammunition and equipment. Military commanders and other U.S. officials say the HIMARS and artillery systems have been crucial in Ukraine\u2019s fight to block Russia from taking more ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/07\/20\/us-to-send-more-himars-precision-rocket-systems-to-ukraine-in-latest-package\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US to send more HIMARS precision rocket systems to Ukraine in latest package<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. will send four more high mobility artillery rocket systems to Ukraine in its next military aid package to strengthen Kyiv in what\u2019s become a grinding artillery duel.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the U.S. has already provided 16 HIMARS to Ukraine, Kahl said the new package does not include additional ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese are not systems that we assess you need in the hundreds to have the type of effects\u201d needed, Kahl said. \u201cThese are precision-guided systems for very particular types of targets and the Ukrainians are using them as such.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He declined to say how many of the precision-guided missile systems for the HIMARS were included in Monday\u2019s announcement, but said the U.S. has provided \u201cmultiple hundreds\u201d of them in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest announcement brings the total U.S. security assistance committed to Ukraine by the Biden administration to more than $9 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until now, the largest single security assistance package announcement was for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pentagon\/2022\/06\/15\/us-sending-ukraine-new-1-billion-arms-package-amid-grinding-donbas-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\">$1 billion on June 15<\/a>. But that aid included $350 million in presidential drawdown authority, and another $650 million under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which provides funding for training, equipment and other security needs that can be bought from other countries or companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday\u2019s package allows the U.S. to deliver weapons systems and other equipment more quickly since it takes them off the Defense Department shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the rockets for the HIMARS, it includes 75,000 rounds of 155mm artillery, 20 mortar systems and 20,000 rounds for them, 1,000 shoulder-mounted Javelin rockets, and other arms, explosives and medical equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the last four months of the war, Russia has concentrated on capturing the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, where pro-Moscow separatists have controlled some territory as self-proclaimed republics for eight years. Russian forces have made gradual headway in the region while launching missile and rocket attacks to curtail the movements of Ukrainian fighters elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kahl estimated that Russian forces have sustained up to 80,000 deaths and injuries in the fighting, though he did not break down the figure with an estimate of forces killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the Russian troops have managed to gain \u201cincremental\u201d ground in eastern Ukraine, although not in recent weeks. \u201cBut that has come at extraordinary cost to the Russian military because of how well the Ukrainian military has performed and all the assistance that the Ukrainian military has gotten. And I think now, conditions in the east have essentially stabilized and the focus is really shifting to the south.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new funding is being paid for through $40 billion in economic and security aid for Ukraine approved by Congress in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the 18th time the Pentagon has provided equipment from Defense Department stocks to Ukraine since August 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. and allies still are evaluating whether to supply aircraft to Ukraine, Kahl said. It\u2019s \u201cnot inconceivable that western aircraft down the road could be part of the mix,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy early in the war launched near-daily calls for warplanes, calling them essential to protecting Ukraine\u2019s skies. The U.S. and some other NATO countries feared that could draw them into more direct involvement with Ukraine\u2019s war against Russia, and have not provided Western aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately Monday, the Treasury Department said it was sending $3 billion more in direct economic assistance to Ukraine. That\u2019s part of a previously approved $7.5 billion in economic assistance, with $1.5 billion yet to be disbursed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writers Eric Tucker and Fatima Hussein in Washington contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new aid includes additional rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, as well as other ammunition and equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":92992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":14,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[160,29,14,36,99],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3148,1417],"class_list":["post-46181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-digital-show-dailies","category-land","category-newsletters","category-smd"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"SDRI7NVOJ5ADTPCOOPVPFV26MY","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/08\/08\/us-to-send-ukraine-another-1-billion-in-military-aid\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US to send Ukraine another $1 billion in military aid - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The new aid includes additional rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, as well as other ammunition and equipment.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US to send Ukraine another $1 billion in military aid\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The new aid includes additional rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, as well as other ammunition and equipment.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/land\/2022\/08\/08\/us-to-send-ukraine-another-1-billion-in-military-aid\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-08-08T21:45:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T09:38:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Ellen Knickmeyer, The Associated Press, Lolita C.
