Most weapons from US aid package for Ukraine are already in Germany and Poland – CNN

pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/04/23/7452566/

Quick Glance: Senate Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

The Senate has passed a $95 billion aid package for war assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and contentious debates over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.

The legislation also includes $26 billion for wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza, along with $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.

Senate Republicans and House Republicans collaborated to secure the aid for Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the potential dire consequences if Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression goes unchecked.

There was broad congressional support for the aid package, but leaders had to navigate strong opposition from conservatives questioning U.S. involvement in foreign wars and focusing on issues like migration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Quick Glance: Russian Deputy Defense Minister Detained on Bribery Suspicions

A Russian deputy defense minister, Timur Ivanov, exposed in an investigation by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was placed in custody on Wednesday under suspicion of accepting significant bribes.

Ivanov, 48, a longtime ally of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, was responsible for construction and procurement for the Armed Forces and was associated with the high-profile reconstruction of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol occupied by Moscow's forces.

Several independent Russian media outlets alleged that Ivanov and his family amassed immense wealth through kick-backs on contracts he approved at the ministry.

Critics argue that the substantial funds flowing into the Ukraine offensive have provided officials with new avenues to enrich themselves through covert procurement agreements.

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Quick Glance: UK Considers Providing Latest Laser Weapons to Ukraine

Defense Secretary Grant Shapps suggests that prototypes of the latest laser weapons being developed in the UK could potentially be provided to Ukraine in the future to strengthen its air defense systems.

Originally planned for production to begin in 2032, the UK Defense Ministry now aims to achieve this earlier - by 2027.

Shapps aims to significantly shorten the usually lengthy development-procurement procedures so that the system can be deployed on ships and potentially on land as quickly as possible for use against combat drones.
