The Biden administration has announced a $500 million package of “urgently needed weapons and equipment” for Ukraine, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
The package includes ammunition for HIMARS rocket systems, munitions to counter drone attacks, 105mm and 155mm artillery shells, HARM anti-radiation missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems, multipurpose vehicles, grenades, explosives, and protective gear against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.
This is the third aid package for Ukraine from the Biden administration this month. On December 2, the U.S. allocated $725 million in aid, followed by $988 million on December 7.
