The head of the United States diplomacy, Antony Blinkannounced on Saturday the addition of 350 million dollars in military assistance to Ukraine to fight against the Russian invasion.
“This package will include more lethal defensive assistance to help address the armor, air and other threats Ukraine currently faces,” Blinken said in a statement.
He recalled that when Russia began to accumulate troops on the border with Ukraine last fall, President Joe Biden authorized $60 million in immediate military assistance to Kiev.
Then, it approved another 200 million in December when the threat of the Russian president Vladimir Putin it became sharper.
Now the United States authorizes a third package “as Ukraine bravely and proudly fights Russia’s brutal and unprovoked attack,” Blinken said.
This “brings the total security assistance that Washington allocated to Ukraine over the past year to over $1 billion,” it added.
The new aid package “is another clear sign that the United States stands with the people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereign, brave and proud nation,” the secretary of state said.
The announcement comes after a series of sanctions against Russian banks, oligarchs and leaders by the United States and its Western allies to punish the Russian economy, Putin and his inner circle for the invasion of Ukraine.
