The United States is expected to announce on Monday a new $1.25 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, including ammunition for NASAMS and HAWK air defense systems, Stinger missiles, and 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, according to reports citing U.S. officials. The aid brings total U.S. military support for Ukraine to over $70 billion since the conflict began. The Biden administration aims to deliver the aid before leaving office on January 20, as it continues to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
