The United States government announced a new $300 million aid package for Ukraine on Tuesday, using money from Pentagon “savings” after months of unsuccessful negotiations in Congress to approve more military spending for the war against Russia.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan made the announcement at a news conference, where he explained that the money being sent to Ukraine comes from “unanticipated savings” from arms deals negotiated by the Pentagon.
“It turned out that we negotiated well and that these contracts were under budget, so we have modest funds at our disposal,” the official emphasized.
