The Trump administration approved its first US weapons aid packages for Ukraine, which could soon be shipped as Washington resumes sending arms to Kyiv, Reuters reported on September 16.

This is the first time a new mechanism, developed by the US and its allies, is being used to provide Ukraine with weapons from US stockpiles funded by NATO countries.

Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby has authorized up to two shipments, each valued at $500 million, under the program, known as the Priority Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL , the sources said.

Previously, it was reported that Russia now produces around 30,000 one-way attack drones per year and plans to double that output in 2026.
