US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin speaks during a meeting with Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, on July 2, 2024. The United States will provide a new $2.3 billion security assistance package for Ukraine that will include key air defense and anti-tank weapons, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday.
“This package… will provide more air defense interceptors, anti-tank weapons, and other critical munitions” drawn from US stocks, Austin said. The United States has been a key military backer of Ukraine, committing more than $51 billion in weapons, ammunition and other security assistance since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Washington has since provided multiple new packages, but President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia was able to take the initiative on the battlefield while Ukraine waited for the approval of new aid.
