Why it matters: The package includes four additional High Mobility Artillery Missile Systems (HIMARS), 16 heavy artillery and 36,000 rounds of ammunition, 15 surveillance drones and 40 mine-resistant troop transport vehicles.
Ukraine will also receive 50 Humvees, 1,000 Javelins, 2,000 anti-armor rounds, mine clearance equipment and new communications systems, according to the Defense Ministry.
By the numbers: It comes after the US announced a $550 million military aid package for Ukraine earlier this month.
With the new package, the Biden administration will have committed a total of $10.6 billion in security assistance to Ukraine. It is the Defense Department’s 19th military aid package to Ukraine since August 2021.
What they say: “As President Biden has made clear, we will support Ukraine as it defends its democracy for as long as it takes,” the Defense Department said in a statement.
“The United States will continue to work with its Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with essential capabilities to meet Ukraine’s evolving requirements on the battlefield,” he added.
The big picture: While Russia has made gradual territorial gains in Ukraine’s Donbas region in recent months, it currently appears to be on the defensive in the Kharkiv and Kherson 0 eruptions.
HIMARS allowed Ukraine to strike Russian military stockpiles, command posts and other targets far behind the front lines. Russia suffered material losses in Crimea after explosions hit several military installations, including the Saki air base in southwestern Crimea. The explosions, for which Ukraine has neither officially claimed nor denied responsibility, have significant symbolic and strategic implications for Russia’s dominance on the peninsula, Axios’ Dave Lawler reports. Russia is also facing increased pressure from dozens of countries, the United Nations and other international organizations to remove its troops and military equipment from Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
