U.S. preparing new $225M military aid package for Ukraine - media
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by AP.
The officials said the aid includes munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, as well as mortar systems and an array of artillery rounds.
The new aid package also includes missiles for the HAWK air defense system, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems, 155mm Howitzers, armored vehicles, trailers, patrol boats, demolition materials and a wide range of other spare parts and equipment.
The new aid package is being provided from existing U.S. stockpiles so they can go quickly to the war front in Ukraine.
It is noted that the State Department last month approved a proposed emergency sale of HIMARS systems to Ukraine for an estimated $30 million.
As Ukrinform reported, the U.S. Department of Defense on May 24 officially announced a significant security assistance package for Ukraine to meet the critical needs of the Armed Forces.
