President Biden announced on Wednesday that the U.S. will send cutting-edge armed drones to Ukraine as part of an additional $800 million aid package to support the war and humanitarian effort.
“The world is united in our support for Ukraine and our determination to make (Russian President Vladimir) Putin pay a very heavy price,” Biden said. “America is leading this effort, together with our allies and partners, providing an enormous level of security and humanitarian assistance that we’re adding to today and we’re going to continue to do more in the days and weeks ahead.”
Among the weaponry that will be shipped to Ukraine are cutting-edge drones, as well as anti-tank missiles and Javelin anti-tank and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, officials familiar with the plans told CNN.
Biden however did not mention Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s plea to Congress Wednesday morning to enforce a no-fly zone over the country, which would require the U.S. to shoot down Russian jets to clear the airspace, almost certainly escalating the conflict from a regional one to an international one.
