Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced Thursday that the United States will be sending another package of relief to Ukraine.
"I want to provide a brief update on our efforts to ensure Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself," Sullivan said. "Today, the United States will be announcing another package of security assistance for Ukraine, including important air defense contributions like missiles for Hawk air defense systems, as well as Avenger air defense systems that come equipped with Stinger missiles."
In May President Biden requested an additional $33 billion for Ukraine but then on May 10 the US House of Representatives approved $40 billion in "additional military and humanitarian aid" to help Ukraine's defense against the ongoing Russian invasion.
A few days later the Biden administration announced an additional $100 million in arms funding to Ukraine on top of that newly approved $40 billion aid package. On June 15, Biden announced that the United States would be sending an additional $1 billion in weapons to Ukraine along with another $225 million in humanitarian aid.
In early August, the Biden White House provided Ukraine with an additional $4.5 billion, increasing the total budgetary support sent to the country since February's invasion by Russia to nearly $60 billion.
