On Wednesday, the United States decided to provide Ukraine with an additional $425 million in military aid.
President Joe Biden is ramping up support for Ukraine as he departs office in January.
This move also aims to ensure that support for Ukraine continues even if former President Donald Trump, who advocates for an immediate ceasefire instead of military assistance, wins the presidential election on November 5.
According to foreign media outlets like the Financial Times (FT), the White House stated that Biden promised this additional military support during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The new military assistance includes air defense systems, air-to-ground munitions, armored vehicles, and other essential ammunition.
The funds for the weapon support come from the $60 billion allocated for military aid to Ukraine, which Congress passed earlier this year.
The White House further announced that the U.S. would provide hundreds of air defense interceptors, dozens of tactical air defense systems, additional artillery systems, large quantities of ammunition, hundreds of armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, and thousands of other armored vehicles to Ukraine over the next several months.
