The Secretary of State's statement is reported by RFE/RL.
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky wrote an article for The Washington Post in late April accusing U.S. Department of Defense officials of blocking the delivery of Congressionally approved aid to Ukraine.
After that, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth stated that these funds had been allocated and transferred.
Rubio, in turn, said that the package is currently "going through an interagency coordination process."
I expect news on this matter in the near future.

This is a $400 million package for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which provides for the Pentagon to purchase equipment from American defense companies. This appropriation was included in the National Defense Authorization Act, approved by the US Congress in December 2025.
