MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Joe Biden on Sunday announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine, which includes ammunition artillery and armored vehicles, media reported.
The report says Biden unveiled the military aid package, comprising "ammunition, artillery, armored vehicles," after his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Hiroshima.

Later on Sunday, the US Department of Defense (DoD) said the new package is valued at up to $375 million and is "the Biden Administration's thirty-eighth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021."

The assistance package includes additional HIMARS ammunition, artillery rounds, anti-armor capabilities and vehicles, the Pentagon said.

US Should Not Send More Aid to Fund 'Proxy War' in Ukraine - Congressman Gosar
The United States has committed $38 billion in security assistance to Ukraine by the Biden administration, including more than $37.3 billion since February 24, 2022, the statement added.
Western countries have been supplying military aid to Ukraine since the start of hostilities in February 2022. The aid evolved from artillery munitions and training in 2022 to heavier weapons, including tanks, later that year and in 2023.
The Kremlin, in turn, has repeatedly warned against continued arms deliveries to Kiev. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia.
