The new weapons are seen as vital as Kyiv faces dire battlefield conditions and ammunition shortages amid Russia's military advances.
The United States said it is supplying Patriot air defense missile systems to Ukraine as part of an additional $6 billion aid package, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced on Friday, calling it the largest security aid package to Kyiv since Russia's invasion in 2022.
The package is the second this week after President Joe Biden signed a long-delayed bill to provide a total of $61 billion in new funding for Ukraine.
