US Announces New $1.3b Military Aid Package For Ukraine

The United States has announced a new 1.3-billion-dollar military aid package for Ukraine featuring air defence systems, anti-tank missiles, drones and other equipment.

The US Defense Department says the package is part of efforts to meet Ukraine’s pressing requirements by committing critical near-term capabilities while also building the enduring capacity of Ukraine’s armed forces.

The assistance will not immediately arrive on the battlefield, as it falls under the Ukraine Security Assistance initiative, under which Washington procures equipment from the defence industry or partners, rather than drawing from US stocks.

The package includes four NASAMs air defence systems and related munitions, TOW anti-tank missiles, 152 mm artillery shells, drones, counter-drone systems, and various vehicles.
