The United States announced on Saturday it would provide Ukraine with a new $988 million military assistance package through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).
The nearly $1 billion package will include additional drones and munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), along with equipment and spare parts for artillery systems, tanks and armored vehicles, the Pentagon said in a statement. This newest package comes on top of the $725 million in US military aid announced on Monday.
"This is the Biden Administration's twenty-second USAI package. The United States will continue to work together with some 50 Allies and partners through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group and its associated capability coalitions to provide the support Ukraine needs to win the war," the statement reads.
