The United States authorized an additional $100 million for anti-armor systems to Ukraine, the Biden administration announced on Tuesday.
The additional shipment will be released to meet an urgent demand from Ukraine for the Javelin anti-tank missiles, which are among the weapons that have proven most effective against Russian forces.
President Joe Biden authorized the drawdown of the Javelin anti-armor weapons from US inventories.
So the weapons pulled from existing Defense Department stocks and can be shipped to Ukraine quickly.
