But there is more work to do. That is why, today, I am announcing a surge in security assistance for Ukraine and a series of additional actions to help Ukraine win this war.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today, I am announcing that:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have directed the Department of Defense to\u00a0allocate\u00a0all of\u00a0its remaining\u00a0security assistance funding that has been appropriated\u00a0for Ukraine by the end of my term in office. As part of this effort, the Department of Defense will allocate the remaining Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funds by the end of this year. I also have authorized\u00a0$5.5 billion\u00a0in Presidential\u00a0Drawdown Authority to ensure this authority does not expire, so that my Administration can fully utilize the funding\u00a0appropriated\u00a0by Congress to\u00a0support the\u00a0drawdown\u00a0of\u00a0U.S. equipment for Ukraine and then replenish U.S. stockpiles.<\/li>\n<li>The Department of Defense is announcing $2.4 billion in security assistance through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which will provide Ukraine with additional air defense, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and air-to-ground munitions, as well as strengthen Ukraine\u2019s defense industrial base and support its maintenance and sustainment requirements.<\/li>\n<li>To enhance Ukraine\u2019s long-range strike capabilities, I have decided to provide Ukraine with the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) long-range munition.<\/li>\n<li>To further\u00a0strengthen\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s air defenses, I have directed the Department of Defense to refurbish and provide Ukraine with an additional Patriot air defense battery and to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot missiles. This builds on my decision earlier this year to divert U.S. air defense exports to Ukraine, which will provide Ukraine with hundreds of additional Patriot and\u00a0AMRAAM missiles over the next year and will help Ukraine defend its cities and its people.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>To build the capacity of Ukraine\u2019s air force, I have directed the Department of Defense to expand training for Ukrainian F-16 pilots, including by supporting the training of an additional 18 pilots next year.<\/li>\n<li>To counter Russian sanctions evasion\u00a0and money laundering,\u00a0the Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury, and the U.S. Secret Service\u00a0have taken action today to disrupt a\u00a0global\u00a0cryptocurrency network, in coordination with international partners.\u00a0The United States will continue to raise the costs on Russia for its war in Ukraine and to deprive the Russian defense industrial base of resources.<\/li>\n<li>I will convene a leader-level meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Germany next\u00a0month\u00a0to coordinate the efforts of the more than 50 countries supporting\u00a0Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Through these actions, my message is clear: The United States will provide Ukraine with the support it needs to win this war.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/09\/26\/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-u-s-support-for-ukraine\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am proud to welcome President Zelenskyy back to the White House\u00a0today.\u00a0For nearly three years, the United States has rallied the world to stand with the people of Ukraine as &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=107281\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=107281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107281\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=107281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=107281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=107281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
