It added that Congress, where Republicans are split on supporting Ukraine, should \u201cact swiftly\u201d to renew the flow.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden has made backing Ukraine a priority and US weapons and financial assistance have been crucial in helping the pro-Western country battle against a far larger attacking Russian force. However, right-wing Republicans have led a push to halt the effort, refusing to authorize new budget outlays if the Democrats don\u2019t first agree to sweeping, tough new measures against illegal migration over the US southern border.<\/p>\n<p>The final tranche of aid is worth up to $250 million and includes \u201cair-defense munitions, other air-defense system components, additional ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, anti-armor munitions, and over 15 million rounds of ammunition,\u201d the State Department said. The statement underlined the US-led coalition helping Ukraine, noting that \u201cmore than 50 countries\u201d are involved. \u201cIt is imperative that Congress act swiftly, as soon as possible, to advance our national security interests by helping Ukraine defend itself and secure its future,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>In Kyiv, Ukrainian presidential aide Andriy Yermak welcomed the aid. \u201cThank you for your help. We will win,\u201d Yermak wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.A week ago, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby made clear that the upcoming drawdown of US military aid would be the last available, leaving &#8216;no more replenishment authority&#8217;. \u201cWe\u2019re going to need Congress to act without delay,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats in the Senate, where they hold a narrow majority, tried to push Republicans in December for a last-minute deal, but with little progress the two parties left for the end-of-year holidays. However, finding agreement on immigration \u2014 one of the most complex and longest-running headaches in US politics \u2014 is expected to be difficult in the Senate. Even then, a deal would have to be approved in the House of Representatives where Republicans \u2014 dominated by a hard-right faction \u2014 hold their own narrow majority.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/us-releases-final-package-of-authorized-military-aid-for-ukraine\/article\">DJ<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/123351\/\">US releases final package of authorized military aid for Ukraine<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6653,12750,2520,559,574,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-119802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-final","tag-military-aid","tag-package","tag-ukraine","tag-us","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119802\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
