President Biden

@POTUS

United States government official

 

Iโ€™m once again using my presidential authority to activate emergency security assistance to continue helping Ukraine fend off Russiaโ€™s assault.

 

An additional $800 million.

 

That brings the total in new U.S. security assistance to Ukraine to $1 billion just this week.

 

This new package on its own will provide unprecedented assistance to Ukraine.

 

It includes 800 anti-aircraft systems to make sure the Ukrainian military can continue to defend Ukrainian airspace against the planes and helicopters that are attacking their people.

 

Our new assistance package also includes 9,000 anti-armor systems.

 

These are portable, highly accurate shoulder-mounted missiles that the Ukrainian forces have been using with great effect to destroy invading tanks and armored vehicles.

 

It will include 7,000 small arms to equip Ukrainians โ€” including the brave men and women who are defending their cities and the countryside.

 

As well as the ammunition artillery and mortar rounds to go with the small arms โ€” 20 million rounds in total.

 

And it will include drones, which demonstrates our commitment to sending our most cutting-edge systems to Ukraine for its defense.

 

The United States and our allies and partners are fully committed to surging weapons and assistance to Ukraine.

 

And more will be coming as we source additional stocks of equipment that is ready to transfer.
