On September 6, the USA announced a new $250 million aid package to Ukraine during the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base.

This was announced by the US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

US President Joe Biden is expected to approve the aid today. According to Austin, this military package will increase opportunities to meet the growing needs of Ukraine.

“It will surge in more capabilities to meet Ukraine’s evolving requirements. And we’ll deliver them at the speed of war,” Austin said.

At the same time, Austin did not say what exactly will be included in the new aid package.
