The United States is sending Ukraine about $300 million in military aid, with the official announcement expected as early as Wednesday, U.S. officials said.
That's according to Voice of America, Ukrinform reports.
The package will include rounds for artillery, howitzers, along with rockets for HIMARS, mortars, missiles and anti-tank rifles.
For the first time, the U.S. is sending Hydra-70 rockets, which are launched from aircraft and could be used in air support for advancing Ukraine ground forces.
The weapons will come from Pentagon stocks and resemble earlier deliveries. This is already the 37th shipment of arms to Ukraine since Russia's invasion.
National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said on May 1 that the United States had provided Ukraine with almost 100% of the military aid it requested, and intended to deliver a new package of support soon.
