The US announced a $400 million new military aid to Ukraine, which has been at war with Russia since late February.
In a statement, the Pentagon said the aid includes funding for the modernization of 45 T-72B tanks, the transfer of Hawk air defense missiles, and 1,100 Phoenix Ghost drones.
The US will also provide 40 armored patrol boats, funding for the refurbishment of 250 M1117 armored vehicles, secure communication systems, as well as funds for training Ukrainian forces and equipment maintenance.
The aid comes under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which means that the weapons will be manufactured by defense contractors rather than from existing US stockpiles.
Friday’s announcement brings the total amount of US security assistance to Ukraine since the outbreak of the war to over $18 billion.
