US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Monday announced the allocation of another package of military assistance to Ukraine totaling $350 million.
“Today, in accordance with the delegation of authority by President Biden, I authorize the transfer of $350 million worth of US weapons and equipment to Ukraine,” the US Secretary of State said in a statement.
The new military aid package contains additional ammunition for US-provided HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and howitzers, as well as ammunition for Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, HARM missiles, anti-tank weapons, river boats and other equipment.
“We salute more than 50 countries that have come together to support Ukraine in its defense of sovereignty and territorial integrity. Only Russia can end its war today. Until it does, we will support Ukraine for as long as it takes,” Blinken stressed.
Recall that the last package of military assistance in the amount of 400 million US dollars was previously announced on March 3.
It included ammunition for HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and howitzers, as well as ammunition for Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, armored bridge crossings, demolition ammunition and equipment, and other maintenance, training and support items.
