The Pentagon called the weapons it provides to Kyiv due to the Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine.

What is included in the new package of US military aid to Ukraine, which was announced on Friday by US President Joe Biden?

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby explained that there were 25,000 155-mm artillery shells, three AN / TPQ-36 mobile counter-battery radars, electronic jamming equipment, as well as field equipment and some spare parts.

According to the US Department of Defense, these weapons are adapted to the current critical needs of Ukraine, when “Russian troops continue to attack in eastern Ukraine.”

“The United States will continue to use available tools to help Ukraine protect itself,” the statement said.

The ninth package of military aid, as previously reported, is estimated at $ 150 million.

The Pentagon recalls that the United States has already provided Ukraine with about $ 4.5 billion in security assistance since the Biden administration came to power, including about $ 3.8 billion since the Russian invasion began on February 24.

The United States continues to work with its allies to provide Ukraine with additional defense capabilities, the Pentagon said.
