By Trend
The United States is preparing a new $1.1 billion arms package for Ukraine that will be announced soon, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, Trend reports citing Reuters.
The officials said on condition of anonymity that the package will be announced in coming days.
It is expected to use funds from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) appropriated by Congress to allow the Biden administration to procure weapons from industry rather than from existing U.S. weapons stocks.
The package will include HIMARS launcher systems, accompanying munitions, various types of counter drone systems and radar systems, along with spares, training and technical support, a source briefed on the plan said.
