It features a host of equipment, including air defense interceptors, armored vehicles, anti-tank weapons and artillery rounds \u2014 among which are cluster munitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to move fast, and we are,\u201d Biden said from the White House Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the Pentagon confirmed Wednesday the U.S. sent Ukraine long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, earlier this year. Biden made the decision in February, and the missiles were included in a $300 million package <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/03\/12\/pentagon-announces-a-surprise-300-million-weapons-package-for-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">gathered from savings on various weapons contracts<b> <\/b>in March.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missiles arrived this month, kept secret \u201cto maintain operational security for Ukraine at their request,\u201d said Pentagon spokesperson Lt. Col. Garron Garn. Kyiv had sought the missiles for more than a year, in part to push Russian forces farther back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from that package, the Pentagon hasn\u2019t given Ukraine any aid since December, when it ran out of money to replace anything it sent. The administration requested a massive round of supplemental funding in the fall, but it sat mired in Congress until this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What forced it through was largely the dire situation in Ukraine. Earlier this month, head of U.S. European Command Gen. Chris Cavoli told lawmakers that Russia could fire five artillery rounds to every one Ukraine could return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat will immediately go to 10 to one in a matter of weeks,\u201d Cavoli said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cavoli and Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said this month Russia has been able to rebuild its forces faster than the U.S. expected and even expanded its frontline forces to 470,000, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armed-services.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/cavoli_statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">or an army 15% larger than before the war.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of Russia\u2019s quick rebuilding and Ukraine\u2019s dwindling stocks threatened a crisis on the front lines, one the supplemental is meant to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CIA Director Bill Burns warned this month Russia could win on the battlefield \u2014 or at least force a favorable political settlement \u2014 by the end of 2024 without U.S. funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This set of aid is far larger than even those sent late last year, when the Pentagon still had money to replenish its stocks. While waiting for Congress to act, Pentagon officials planned a ready-to-go package filled with Ukraine\u2019s most pressing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis package will surge munitions, weapons, and equipment forward to support Ukraine\u2019s ability to defend its frontlines, protect its cities, and counter Russia\u2019s continued attacks,\u201d read a Pentagon announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/04\/17\/house-to-hold-separate-votes-on-ukraine-israel-taiwan-aid\/#:~:text=House%20Republicans%20on%20Wednesday%20released,foreign%20assistance%20request%20to%20Congress.\" target=\"_blank\">$95 billion supplemental bill<\/a> includes around $48 billion in Ukraine-related funding for the Pentagon. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/04\/24\/congress-sends-ukraine-israel-taiwan-aid-package-to-presidents-desk\/\" target=\"_blank\">$23 billion of that will go to replenishing stocks the U.S. sends to Kyiv.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRegardless of what anyone says, we are gaining the support we need to continue protecting lives from Russian attacks,\u201d Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZelenskyyUa\/status\/1783168697307177273\" target=\"_blank\">wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on
