The announcement was made on Monday as attacks in the war increased.
The Biden Administration is sending up to $400 million in additional military aid to Ukraine, including a variety of munitions for advanced air defense systems and an array of small Hornet surveillance drones, US officials said.
The announcement was made on Monday as attacks in the war expanded to include targets in Moscow and Crimea.
The package includes an array of munitions, from missiles for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) to Stingers and Javelins.
Weapons are being supplied through presidential authority, allowing the Pentagon to quickly remove items from its own stockpiles and deliver them to Ukraine, often within days.
Authorities said the US is also sending artillery munitions from howitzers and 32 Stryker armored vehicles, along with demolition equipment, mortars, Hydra-70 rockets and 28 million rounds of small arms ammunition.
Hornets are small nano-drones used mainly for intelligence gathering. In the past, Ukraine has also received these weapons from other western allies.
