Some informed sources have reported that the US administration is planning to provide a shipment of weapons worth $680 million to the Zionist regime. The US is also preparing a $725 million arms package for Ukraine to fight Russia.


Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Informed sources told the Financial Times that the US administration is planning to provide a shipment of weapons worth $680 million to the Zionist regime.
The Financial Times reported, citing informed sources, that the US President approved the sale of weapons, especially Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits and small aerial bombs to Israel.
The sources, who were not named, told the Financial Times: “Biden has issued an initial authorization for the sale of $680 million in arms to Israel. US officials recently informed Congress of a plan to provide additional ammunition to Israel.”
This comes after the US Senate earlier rejected resolutions to block the sale of more than $20 billion in weapons to the Zionist regime, including tank ammunition, high-explosive shells, JDMA ammunition and ammunition for tactical vehicles.
According to another report, two US officials told Reuters that the Joe Biden administration is preparing a $725 million arms package for Ukraine to fight Russia.
The US administration, led by Joe Biden, is preparing a $725 million arms package for Kiev, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed US official.
According to the report, the US arms package worth hundreds of millions of dollars includes mines, drones, Stinger missiles and ammunition for the HIMARS rocket launcher system.
Two US officials familiar with the matter said that the Biden administration is currently in discussions about the number of anti-tank weapons from the US military to Ukraine to fight Russia.
According to the report, the Biden administration is likely to include cluster munitions in its arms package to Ukraine.
One of the sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that the Biden administration is likely to inform Congress about the arms package by early Monday, and that the contents, number and size of the package may change.
The previous day, the Politico website reported that Biden has secretly asked Congress for another $24 billion to replenish the Pentagon's reserves as well as Ukraine's.
Russia believes that sending weapons to Ukraine would be an obstacle to peace in Ukraine and would directly involve NATO countries in the conflict and war in Ukraine, and has warned the West that by taking these measures, they are in fact playing with fire.
