The United States announced a significant new drawdown of weapons and equipment for Ukraine to support the Ukrainian people as they defend their country against Russia's aggression. This $275 million package, part of efforts to help Ukraine repel Russia’s assault near Kharkiv, includes ammunition for HIMARS; 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds; Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided missiles; Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems; precision aerial munitions; small arms and additional rounds of small arms ammunition and grenades; demolitions munitions; anti-armor mines; tactical vehicles; body armor, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear protective equipment; and spare parts, maintenance, and other equipment.
This is the fifth security assistance package the President has authorized since signing the national security supplemental and the third package using Presidential Drawdown Authorities. Assistance from previous packages has already reached the front lines. The U.S. aims to move this new assistance as quickly as possible so that the Ukrainian military can use it to defend their territory and protect the Ukrainian people.
As President Biden stated: "The United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine in its defense of its freedom."
