The U.S. Defense Department on November 1 announced additional security assistance for Ukraine worth an estimated $425 million. The Pentagon said in a statement that the aid is meant to meet Ukraine’s most urgent security and defense needs. This includes air-defense interceptors, munitions for rocket systems and artillery, armored vehicles, and anti-tank weapons, the statement said. It is the 69th tranche of equipment to be provided from the Defense Department since August 2021 under a program known as the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) that allows stockpiled U.S. military equipment to be transferred to Ukraine.
