"Pentagon Seeks $10B Replacement Funding for Weapons Sent to Ukraine"

The United States is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine worth up to $400 million, using refunded credits to replenish stocks and urgently allow more aid to be sent from existing stocks as the Biden administration waits for supplemental funding to be passed by lawmakers. The House is under pressure to pass a $95 billion national security package that bolsters aid for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific, but Republican leaders in Congress have resisted putting up the aid bill for a vote. Leaders of U.S. intelligence agencies are urging members of the House of Representatives to approve additional military assistance for Ukraine, emphasizing its importance in discouraging Chinese aggression and boosting Kyiv as it fights Russia.
