US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced a new aid package for Ukraine worth $6 billion, as Washington seeks to speed up the delivery of aid to Kiev, months after its approval in Congress was delayed.
“This is the largest military aid package we have announced to date,” Austin said.
“The Ukrainians need interceptor air defence, artillery systems and ammunition, they need armored vehicles, they need maintenance, so all these kinds of things are included in the package,” he added.
This assistance program includes air defense and anti-drone systems as well as artillery ammunition.
In turn, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the step, considering that “this will allow Kiev to achieve stability on the front line.”
