The United States plans to transfer an additional $1 billion military aid package to Ukraine.
Reuters says the package will be announced on Monday. It will include ammunition for the HIMARS MLRS and NASAMS air defense systems, as well as 50 M113 medical armored vehicles.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United States has already provided $8.8 billion in benefits.
Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that President Joe Biden has yet to sign the next arms package. They warned that weapon packages could change in price and content before they were signed.
The new package follows the Pentagon’s recent decision to allow Ukrainians to receive medical care at a US military hospital in Germany near Ramstein Air Base.
Last Monday, the Pentagon announced a separate security package for Ukraine worth up to $550 million, including additional munitions for High Mobility Rocket and Artillery Systems (HIMARS).
