During a visit to Kiev, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced further military aid for Ukraine worth 400 million US dollars (almost 370 million euros). "I have traveled to Ukraine for the fourth time as Secretary of Defense to show that the United States, along with the international community, continues to stand with Ukraine," Austin wrote on the X platform.

Austin met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Defense Minister Rustem Umyerov in the Ukrainian capital. According to the US Department of Defense, the package includes ammunition for Himars rocket launchers, artillery ammunition and mortar shells. Additional M113 armored personnel carriers, small arms and related cartridges will also be provided.

The USA is the largest military and financial supporter of the Eastern European country since the start of the Russian war of aggression in February 2022.
