U.S. Unveils Major New Military Aid for Ukraine 26 September

Department of State

The United States is providing another significant package of urgently needed weapons and equipment to our Ukrainian partners as they defend against Russia's ongoing attacks.

This additional assistance, provided under Presidential Drawdown Authority from Department of Defense stocks is valued at $375 million. It includes additional munitions and support for HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System); 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition; cluster munitions; armored, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) and light tactical vehicles; patrol boats; small arms; and anti-armor capabilities, including, Javelin missiles, TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided) missiles, and AT-4 (Anti-Tank) rockets; as well as spare parts, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation.

The United States is committed to Ukraine's defense against Russia's brutal aggression. We will deploy this new assistance as quickly as possible to help Ukraine protect 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.
