United States Announces Significant New Military Assistance for Ukraine – United States Department of State

The United States is sending a significant new package of weapons and equipment to Ukraine to support the Ukrainian military as it continues to fight against Russian aggression. This $150 million package, provided under the Presidential Drawdown Authority, includes missiles for HAWK air defense systems, ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, 81mm mortar rounds, tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW) missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems, ammunition and grenades for small arms, demolition equipment and ammunition, tactical vehicles for towing and carrying equipment, tactical air navigation systems and aircraft support equipment, night vision devices and spare parts, maintenance and other field and support equipment. This support will also help strengthen Ukraine’s air defense against Russian attacks and bolster Ukraine’s capabilities on the front line.

This is the seventh security assistance package the President has authorized to help Ukraine since signing the National Security Supplement two months ago. We will deliver this new assistance as quickly as possible to help Ukraine strengthen the security of its territory and its people. As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have formed will stand with Ukraine.
