Biden says Bradleys on table for Ukraine

Ukrinform
U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday said that sending Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine was being considered to help the country fight off Russia.

That’s according to Reuters, Ukrinform reports.

"Yes," Biden said when asked if the option was on the table.

The Army has thousands of Bradleys, which could give the Ukrainians more firepower on the battlefield. Biden's move, however, is short of sending Abrams main battle tanks, which the Ukrainians have been requesting.

It was not clear how many Bradleys are destined for Ukraine, but the United States is preparing another weapons aid package which could be announced in the coming days.

Late last month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the U.S. Congress that the tens of billions of dollars of aid it had approved to help it combat a Russian invasion was not charity, but an investment in global security.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the White House on Wednesday said the next package of security assistance to Ukraine could be announced in the coming days or weeks.
