Does this mean that Team Biden wants to send billions more since they accidentally over
valued the stuff they already sent?

The aid depends on who reports it. 1 billion or 2.4 billion? who knows?

WATCH: Biden announces billions in Ukraine military aid as Zelenskyy visits White House

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration’s latest infusion of more than $2.7 billion in military aid for Ukraine and the promise of billions more will give Kiev a massive boost in air defenses, but much of the aid is in long-range contracts for weapons that won’t be seen on the battlefield for some time.

Included in a $2.4 billion long-term assistance package announced Thursday — just before meetings between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — is another Patriot missile battery and additional munitions for the system.

Watch Biden and Zelenskyy’s remarks in the player above.

Patriots are critical air defense systems that the U.S. military uses around the world to protect American forces and allies. It is a high-demand air defense capability, and the U.S. has a limited number of them and the missiles they fire.

The system is being provided through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which funds longer-term contracts.

An additional $375 million package of more immediate aid also was announced this week, including an undisclosed number of glide bombs equipped with cluster munitions, as well as a wide array of rockets, missiles and artillery. Those weapons are coming through presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon quickly to pull supplies from its shelves to speed them to Ukraine’s front line.
