The Defense Department stated that the aid package includes supplementary ammunition for the HIMARS (rocket launchers) that the US provided, additional howitzers, artillery, and mortar rounds, as well as anti-armor capabilities for Ukraine to resist and counteract Russia's unwarranted act of aggression, reported AFP.
Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Press Secretary stated that the US government has been working tirelessly over the past few months to fulfill Ukraine's request in anticipation of their upcoming counter-offensive.
The United States has already provided more than $35.7 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in late February 2022.
