The Pentagon said on Friday that the United States will provide Ukraine with a fresh $275 million military support package to aid it in fending off an invasion by Russia.
According to Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, the shipment contains ammo for Himars precise rocket launchers, several 155 mm artillery rounds, anti-armor weapons, small arms ammunition, and four satellite communications antennae.
“We’re seeing Ukrainian infrastructure and electrical grids being targeted by the Russians and these antennas provide an additional capability on the ground at a critical time when Ukraine’s infrastructure is being hit,” Singh said.
The latest aid package brings Washington’s total security assistance commitments for Ukraine to more than $18.5 billion since early 2021, and nearly $18 billion since Russia invaded in February.
