The United States has announced an additional security assistance package worth up to $300 million that contains key capabilities to arm Ukraine against Russian airstrikes targeting critical infrastructure across the country.
This will be the 39th drawdown of equipment from the Department of Defense inventories using presidential drawdown authorities.
Announcing the latest tranche of Washington's military assistance to Ukraine, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said, "We will use that package that we're announcing today to provide Ukraine with additional munitions for Patriot air defense systems, which Ukraine has been deploying quite effectively, as well as more Avenger air defense systems, Stinger anti-aircraft systems, and ammunition, of course, for the HIMARS, artillery, and anti-armor systems that the United States continues to provide to Ukraine."
