The United States will provide Ukraine with new security assistance worth $128 million, as well as $197 million in weapons and equipment as part of a previously authorized reduction, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said.
The package contains additional air defense munitions “to help strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses against Russian air attacks now and in the coming winter, when Russia is likely to resume its attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure,” Blinken said on Thursday, CNN reports.
“It also contains artillery munitions and anti-tank weapons, as well as cluster munitions that will further enhance Ukraine’s ability to continue its counteroffensive against Russian forces,” he added.
This statement was made during a meeting between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Joe Biden in Washington, DC.
