This includes a presidential draw-down authority package to provide Ukraine with air defense interceptors, munitions for US-provided HIMARS, artillery and mortar rounds, javelin anti-tank missiles, and other anti-tank weapons, Kirby told reporters.
He said the Department of Defense is also announcing significant security assistance funds to support Ukraine's defenses over the long term. That package includes capabilities to augment Ukraine's air defenses, long-range and anti-tank weapons, and equipment previously promised by the US.
The US has provided Ukraine more than 50 billion USD worth of military aid since 2022.
