On the night of January 22, a plane landed at the Ukrainian airport Boryspil, delivering 90 tons of lethal weapons from the United States . This is the first batch of security assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the amount of $200 million. Earlier, this assistance package was approved by US President Joe Biden.

The US Embassy in Ukraine noted that this batch includes not only lethal weapons, but also other ammunition.

“This demonstrates the firm commitment of the United States to Ukraine’s sovereign right to self-defense,” the embassy said in a statement.

The U.S. provided more than $650 million in security assistance to Ukraine last year, including this aid package, and more than $2.7 billion in security assistance overall since 2014.

“The United States will continue to provide such assistance to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, supporting them in the constant defense of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine from Russian aggression,” the embassy said.
