$2.5 Billion Dollar U.S. Package to Ukraine (The Other Considerations)

The video is a release of a $2.5 Billion U.S. package to support Ukraine with a $225 million in foreign financing. It allows the ability to balance speed, armour, firepower and multi-terrain capabilities. You can read the U.S. DOD Biden Release Ukraine Assistance. It provides an overview that gives you insight into how committed the U.S. and other countries are in sustaining support. (It is also an opportunity for the U.S. to adapt its supply chain and innovative capacity. See innovation theory.)

Its an extensive list and I think for Ukrainian territory and weather conditions its a list that maximized terrain. 

Good for Ukraine! I hope they win and new doors open for Russia open that encourage positive world engagement and all the benefits that come from peaceful coexistence (If Ukraine wins there will be many doors open. They are in a strategically important geographic location that likely will lead to good will and practical benefit. At least that is what I'm thinking at the moment.). I'm sure most of the pro-Democracy world would love for Russia to make its way into an important and helpful world contributor. Can old dogs learn new tricks? I bet there are some who want Putin to Retire. Some maybe not. 😩 Almost a good hashtag ###
