The package, under the Presidential Drawdown Authority, is valued at approximately $400 million.

The assistance aims to address Ukraine's critical security and defense needs by providing munitions for rocket systems and artillery, mortar systems and rounds, armored vehicles, and anti-tank weapons. Specific items in this announcement include ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, various mortar systems and rounds, TOW missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems, M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, satellite communication equipment, small arms and ammunition, grenades and training equipment, demolitions equipment and munitions. Additionally, it includes equipment to protect critical national infrastructure as well as spare parts, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation.

The United States remains committed to working with around 50 Allies and partners through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group to fulfill Ukraine's battlefield requirements against Russian aggression.
