The aid is intended to help Ukraine *"meet its needs on the battlefield"* and demonstrates the United States' *"unwavering support"* for the country, the Pentagon said in a statement.

The new aid comes on top of the $1 billion in military assistance announced by the Biden administration last week, which included artillery, armoured vehicles, and ammunition.

The announcement was made by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a surprise visit to Ukraine on Thursday. Blinken met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other senior officials to discuss the latest developments in the war.
