United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on Wednesday what he described as "a significant new package of weapons and equipment" worth $1 billion to help Ukraine repel Russia's military operation.
The package, according to Blinken's statement, "includes urgently needed capabilities including air defense missiles, munitions for HIMARS [high mobility artillery rocket system], artillery rounds, armored vehicles, precision aerial munitions, anti-armor weapons, and small arms, equipment, and spare parts to help Ukraine defend its territory and protect its people."
The announcement came after US President Joe Biden signed the national security bill, which includes funds allocated to helping Ukraine, into law.
