The United States will transfer $250m in arms and munitions to Ukraine as part of what could be the final package of American defence assistance to Kyiv amid a refusal to authorise more funds by Republicans in Congress.
In a statement, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the weapons and equipment package “provides up to $250m of arms and equipment under previously directed drawdowns for Ukraine” in the form of “air defense munitions, other air defense system components, additional ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, anti-armor munitions, and over 15 million rounds of ammunition”.
