The Pentagon plans to rush $300 million in weapons to Ukraine due to cost savings, despite being $10 billion overdrawn. This marks the first aid package since December, when the Pentagon acknowledged depletion of replenishment funds. The package is contingent on a stalled $60 billion military aid bill from Congress. It's expected to include anti-aircraft missiles, artillery rounds, and armor systems. Polish leaders are urging the U.S. to expedite aid for Ukraine. House Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to bring a $95 billion aid package to a vote has prompted a discharge petition by House Democrats to bypass him.
