The United States is preparing a USD 375 million military aid package for Ukraine, which is expected to be announced next week.

This is according to Reuters, citing two US officials, Ukrinform reported.

The aid package, to be announced next week, will include patrol boats, HIMARS ammunition, 155- and 105-millimeter artillery ammunition, other weapons and spare parts, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

It is noted that the contents and size of the package could change in the coming days ahead of President Biden’s expected signature.

It should be recalled that since May, after the law on the allocation of USD 61 billion in support of Ukraine was passed, the United States has not sent an aid package greater than USD 275 million to Ukraine.

In August, the U.S. sent two packages, both for USD 125 million each.
