Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked US President Joe Biden “and the American people” on Monday after the US government gave the “green light” to a new $350 million military aid package to Ukraine.

The package mainly includes ammunition for the Himars missile launchers, as announced earlier today by the head of American diplomacy, Anthony Blinken.

“HIMARS rockets, 155mm shells, HARM missiles and other items worth $350 million are a big contribution to repelling the invaders,” Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted.

Anthony Blinken reiterated today that the US will stand by Ukraine “as long as it takes”.
