“The United States is announcing an additional $2 billion in military aid to Ukraine,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN.
Washington announced a new tranche of $2 billion in military aid to Ukraine on the one-year anniversary of Russia’s military incursion into its neighbor’s territory.
“The United States is announcing an additional $2 billion in military aid to Ukraine,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN.
He did not provide details on what the package includes.
The official, who accompanied President Joe Biden on his visit to Kiev this week, added that the US administration is constantly considering “how to give Ukraine the tools necessary to win.”
He recalled that the US president promised during his meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky “more artillery, more ammunition, more HIMARS”, in addition to his administration’s commitment to send more light armored vehicles and, later, heavy tanks.
The HIMARS system, manufactured by US defense industry giant Lockheed Martin, consists of multiple guided missile launchers fitted to lightly armored vehicles. It is already used by the Ukrainian forces, who describe it as extremely accurate.
