The United States plans to announce a new military aid package for Ukraine worth up to $500M on Tuesday, signaling the US’ determination to help Ukraine as Moscow deals with an attempted mutiny by the Wagner Group.
According to two US officials, the package will include equipment for ground forces, which is critical at a time when Ukraine is intensifying its counteroffensive. The package is also expected to have 30 Bradley fighting vehicles and 25 Stryker armored personnel carriers, one of the officials said, Reuters reported.
As part of the aid package Ukraine will receive munitions for high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), anti-tank weapons, including the Javelin, and munitions for the Patriot and Stinger anti-aircraft systems according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
