Blinken said the assistance package includes air defense missiles, artillery ammunition, Javelin systems and rockets, and mine-clearing equipment. The US will also supply ambulances and “spare parts, services, training, and transportation,” Blinken said.
“This package of weapons and equipment, valued at $250M, is being executed under drawdowns previously directed for Ukraine,” he said.
