Politico: US to announce new $6 billion weapons contract for Ukraine
Quick Glance: US Readies Announcement of $6B Weapons Contracts for Ukraine
  • The U.S. is finalizing one of its largest military aid packages for Ukraine, set to include contracts worth up to $6 billion for weapons and equipment for Kyiv's forces.

  • The equipment, including ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, is not expected to arrive in Ukraine for several years as the funds are allocated under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.

  • Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is likely to announce the new aid during a virtual meeting on Friday of the over 50 nations that make up the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.

  • The immediate aid and long-range missiles follow a similar move by the U.K. and France, who have also ramped up their support for Ukraine.
