US to provide $250mn in military aid to Kiev

The Biden Administration is announcing $250 million in military aid to Ukraine, which will be the final package this year, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

"The United States is announcing the year’s final package of weapons and equipment for Ukraine," he said.

The package provides up to $250 million of air defense munitions, other air defense system components, additional ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, and anti-tank munitions.

"It is imperative that Congress act swiftly, as soon as possible, to advance our national security interests by helping Ukraine defend itself and secure its future," Blinken said. He reiterated that over 50 countries are providing aid to the Kiev regime.
