The USA is providing Ukraine with additional military equipment to defend itself against Russian aggression. The new package is worth around 425 million US dollars (around 392 million euros), the US Department of Defense announced. Among other things, it contains ammunition for Himars missile launcher systems and for the Nasams air defense system as well as 155 and 105 millimeter caliber artillery ammunition.

The USA is Ukraine's most important ally and largest arms supplier in its defensive campaign against Russia. According to the Pentagon, the USA has provided military aid worth more than 60.4 billion US dollars (around 55.7 billion euros) to Kiev since the start of the war.

The outcome of the US presidential election in a few days' time will have a significant influence on whether or not Kiev can continue to hope for large-scale support from the US in the future. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has threatened not to continue with this if he wins the election.
