The United States has announced additional assistance to Ukraine's security forces worth $457.5 million in the latest funding for Kiev's resistance to the Russian war.

"Our provision of personal protective equipment, medical supplies, and armored vehicles has significantly reduced casualties among Ukrainian civilians and their defenders," US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a statement.

"The United States stands shoulder to shoulder with the Ukrainian people and remains committed to supporting a democratic, independent, and sovereign Ukraine," he added.

In total, the United States has allocated more than $645 million in support to Ukrainian law enforcement authorities since mid-December, the State Department noted.
