The US approved a new $2 billion aid package to Ukraine and its neighbors in the form of loans to buy American weapons.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made a surprise visit to Kyiv today to discuss the issue of military aid to Ukraine.
The United States has approved a new $2 billion aid package for Ukraine and its neighbors in the form of loans to buy American weapons amid a counteroffensive launched by Kyiv since last week.
The new foreign military aid package will cover Ukraine and 18 other countries at risk of a future Russian attack, a US official said.
According to the US State Department, the aid is in addition to the $675 million package of direct military aid to Ukraine announced today by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Joe Biden’s administration is notifying the US Congress of its intention to make the funding available for long-term investments, according to the official, who did not specify which other countries will receive aid and which portion is intended for Ukraine.
