The U.S. Defense Department has announced a new security assistance package for Ukraine to reaffirm the United States’ unwavering support for Ukrainian defenders and strengthen Ukraine’s air defense.

“This package, totaling $2 billion, is being provided by the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) as part of our commitment to Ukraine’s long-term security. Specifically, the United States is providing additional unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and counter UAS and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as critical ammunition stocks for artillery and high-precision firearms that will strengthen Ukraine’s ability to repel Russian aggression,” the announcement stated.
