White House: US to send new military aid package to Ukraine 'in coming days'

This was announced by the coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, John Kirby.

“The current state of affairs has changed what funds the US is willing to send to Ukraine in the future in terms of military aid packages.

I really think that you will see another one here (package. -

) in the coming days, ”he said during a briefing.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden approved the allocation of a new $675 million military aid package to Ukraine.

According to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Western aid to Kyiv is designed for the long term.

As The Wall Street Journal later reported, the Ukrainian authorities requested additional weapons from the United States, including long-range missile systems that Washington had previously refused to provide.
