The US on Friday announced a new $400 million military aid package to Ukraine. The package includes weapons requested by Ukraine, including Patriot missile system ammunition, High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMAR) systems and ammunition, Stinger anti-air missiles, 155mm artillery shells, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and Mine Resistant Ambush Protection (MRAP) Vehicles.
“As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have formed will continue to support Ukraine in defending its freedoms,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
The announcement marks the second Presidential Withdrawal Authority (PDA) package since President Joe Biden signed a long-delayed national security addition to secure $60 billion in funding for Ukraine.
