Joe Biden’s administration has announced an additional $2.6B military aid package for Ukraine.

The package includes $500M in drawdown equipment, such as ammunition for HIMARS and additional munitions for the Patriot missile system, artillery and mortar rounds, heavy fuel tankers, and tactical recovery vehicles. It is the 35th drawdown of US equipment for Ukraine since August 2021.

The administration is also allocating $2.1B in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funds to produce a “significant package of air defense capabilities”, including air surveillance radars and unmanned counter-aerial systems, 30mm gun trucks, Javelin anti-armor systems, and 23 million rounds of small arms munition.

According to the Pentagon, “The US will continue providing Ukraine with capabilities to meet its immediate battlefield needs and longer-term security assistance requirements.”
