Austin announced a new military aid package for Ukraine.

The United States Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, stated at a press conference in the Pentagon that a new military aid for Kyiv will soon be announced. He emphasized that the US and its allies will continue to increase armed support for Ukraine, in particular, providing artillery, air defense, armored vehicles, and ammunition. The information was also confirmed by the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.

It should be noted that since April 2022, Minister Austin has regularly convened the Contact Group on Ukrainian Defense Issues, which includes about 50 countries from around the world. This coalition, known as "Ramstein", provides assistance to Ukrainian forces in combating Russian aggression.
