US announces new military package for Ukraine that includes a large number of artillery rounds and ammunition

The US is sending Ukraine about $325 million in additional military aid, including a large number of artillery rounds, ammunition, and anti-armor capabilities essential to strengthening Ukraine’s defenders on the battlefield, the Pentagon announced on April 19, 2023.

The package is the 36th drawdown of the US arms and equipment for Ukraine and brings total aid since Russia launched its invasion to more than $35.4 billion, according to the U.S. State Department. “Russia could end its war today. Until Russia does, the United States and our allies and partners will stand united with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated.
