Ukraine gets HIMARS boost in new US aid package
UUkraine will receive a new military package consisting of medium-range cluster bombs, an array of rockets, artillery, and armored vehicles valued at $375 million, including munitions for the highly effective High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
The US' latest immediate military aid package, announced on September 25, follows Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the US this week, where he presented his "victory plan" to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other American officials.
The $375 million aid package is part of a long-term assistance package of $2.4 billion announced on September 26, which not only includes weapons, but also consists of funding to get longer contracts underway to secure weapons in the future.
