The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, “We are announcing the next package of military assistance to aid Ukraine as it defends its territory and protects its people.
“This package contains important capabilities to help Ukraine on the battlefield.”
He added, “This package of weapons and equipment, which are valued at $250 million, is being executed under drawdowns previously directed for Ukraine.”
He continued, “Russia started this war and could end it at any time by withdrawing its forces from Ukraine and stopping its brutal attacks. Until it does, the United States and our allies and partners will stand united with Ukraine, for as long as it takes.”
