US President Joe Biden announced new military aid to Ukraine, including artillery pieces and anti-ship missiles, with a total value of up to $1 billion, reported AFP on Wednesday.
Biden said in a statement that he reaffirmed the United States’ support for Ukraine during a phone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, said the same source.
Recently, the US provided aid to Ukraine, including artillery rounds, counter-artillery radars, and jamming equipment.
“I am announcing an additional package of security assistance that will provide Ukraine with more equipment,” Biden said, while a senior US official indicated that the package was worth $150 million, according to the same source.
The Ukrainian leader also launched for this aim a platform called United24
in order to raise funds in support of his country.
Zelensky’s move came after his country has been hit the hardest due to the Russian offensive that began on February 24, and that is still ongoing for over 100 days.
