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. The U.S. Defense Department press office said this on the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“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.
