To mark the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the US is set to announce a new military aid package.

Here's What We Know

White House National Security Adviser Jacob Sullivan has made the announcement. The new $2,000,000,000 military aid package will be announced today, 24 February. It will include:

• missiles for HIMARS;
• 155mm artillery ammunition;
• various UAVs;
• counter-drone equipment;
• demining equipment;
• Secure communications equipment;
• funding for the training of the Ukrainian military

According to CNN, this time the USA will not give weapons from its own stockpiles, but will order their production from industry under the USAI programme. In other words, it is not worth waiting for delivery in the near future.
