United States Announces Significant New Military Assistance for Ukraine

The United States is sending Ukraine a significant new package of weapons and equipment to support the Ukrainian military as it continues to fight against Russian aggression. This $150 million package provided under Presidential Drawdown Authority includes missiles for HAWK air defense systems, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, 81mm mortar rounds, Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems, small arms ammunition and grenades, demolitions equipment and munitions, tactical vehicles to tow and haul equipment, tactical air navigation systems and aircraft support equipment, night vision devices, and spare parts, maintenance, and other field and ancillary equipment. This support will also help strengthen Ukraine's air defenses against Russian attacks and reinforce Ukraine's capabilities across the front lines.

This is the seventh security assistance package the President has authorized to help Ukraine since signing the national security supplemental two months ago. We will move this new assistance as quickly as possible to bolster Ukraine's defense of its territory and its people. As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine.
