on september 6, when zelensky met with the us secretary of defense, austin announced that the united states would provide ukraine with an additional $250 million in new military support.
zelensky also called on the united states to lift restrictions on the ukrainian army's use of aided weapons to strike targets in russia. in response, u.s. secretary of defense austin tactfully refuted zelensky's request at a subsequent press conference, saying that no single capability can change the situation, and the key lies in the combination of various capabilities.
according to statistics, since the escalation of the russian-ukrainian crisis, the total amount of us military support to ukraine has exceeded 55.7 billion us dollars, and the weapons provided to ukraine have gradually become more advanced and destructive. a document released by the us department of defense on the 6th showed that in this process, 35 us federal states received a total of 41.7 billion us dollars in contracts. the document shows that military giants such as raytheon and general dynamics have signed multi-billion dollar contracts with the us department of defense to produce weapons, a large part of which were provided to ukraine.
