US provides $2 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin said Kyiv has received or will receive U.S. weapons worth $2 billion.

"In the last two weeks, we've provided over $300 million worth of equipment to Ukraine and the $800 million that the – that the the president signed off on here just recently brings a total to over to $2 billion in terms of the amount of security force assistance that we've been providing to Ukraine," the Pentagon chief noted.

He recalled that they've had trainers there since 2014, along with some of our their allies. "And not only have we provided them equipment, but they were ready to use that equipment once we provided," Austin stressed.
