US announces new $275 million military aid package for Ukraine

The United States will give Ukraine a new military aid package totaling $275 million.

According to European Pravda, this was announced at a briefing on Friday by Deputy Pentagon Speaker Sabrina Singh.

According to her, the new package will include ammunition for HIMARS systems, precision-guided artillery shells, remote mining systems, HMMWV armored vehicles and small arms cartridges.

Also in the aid package will be non-Starlink military satellite communications.

As reported, much of the American aid is focused on resupplying ammunition for existing weapons systems, in particular the highly mobile artillery missile systems known as HIMARS, which Ukraine is successfully using in its counteroffensive against Russia.

The day before, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the first NASAMS air defense systems would be transferred to Ukraine, as expected in early November. Now the Ukrainian military is training to use these systems.

The total amount of US military assistance to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion has already exceeded $18 billion.
