The White House on Friday announced a new $275 million military aid package to Ukraine that will help fight Russian drones and bolster Ukraine’s air defenses.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters that aid “will be on the way soon to provide Ukraine with new capabilities to improve its air defenses and counter the drone threat to Ukraine.”
According to the Pentagon, the new aid package will give Ukraine new capabilities to improve its air defenses, as well as provide critical equipment that Ukraine uses very effectively to defend itself on the battlefield.
The new package includes additional ammunition for HIMARS high mobility artillery missile systems, 80,000 rounds for 155mm howitzers, anti-drone equipment, anti-aircraft defense, Humvee all-terrain vehicles, medical equipment, 150 power generators and field equipment.
