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 previously exercised Presidential Drawdown Authority from Department of Defense stocks, is valued at $425 million. It includes Stinger missiles; air-to-ground munitions; additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS); ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS); 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition; Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) equipment and munitions; Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided (TOW) missiles; Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems; Stryker Armored Personnel Carriers; small arms and ammunition; medical equipment; grenades and training equipment; demolitions equipment and munitions; and spare parts, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation.
This latest package demonstrates the United States' commitment to surge security assistance to Ukraine that Congress has authorized. President Biden has been clear that we will utilize as much of the authority that Congress has authorized in support of Ukraine as possible before he leaves office. We will continue to surge security assistance for Ukraine and provide Ukraine the support it needs to succeed on the battlefield and prevail in its defense against Russia's aggression.
