Defence secretary Lloyd Austin made the announcement during a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart at the Pentagon.
Now, we can bring you more information on this.
During the meeting, Mr Austin said the latest weapons package for Ukraine would include arms such as anti-tank weapons and air defence interceptors, and would allow accelerated procurement of NASAMS and Patriot air defence interceptors.
Ukrainian defence minister Rustem Umerov said: "I am proud that the US will soon announce more than $2.3bn in new security assistance for Ukraine.
"This package, under presidential drawdown authority, will provide more air defence interceptors, anti-tank weapons and other critical munitions from the US inventories."
During the meeting with Mr Austin, the Ukrainian official also said Ukraine was looking forward to becoming a member of NATO.
