Additional U.S. Security Assistance for Ukraine
PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MAY 3, 2023
We will continue to stand with our Ukrainian partners as they defend themselves from Russia’s war of aggression.
Pursuant to a delegation of authority from President Biden, I am authorizing our 37th drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine valued at $300 million.
This security assistance package includes: additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, howitzers, artillery and tank ammunition, anti-tank weapons, rockets, small arms and ammunition, trucks and trailers to transport heavy equipment, and spare parts and other field equipment essential to strengthening Ukraine’s defenders on the battlefield.
This latest package will help Ukraine continue to bravely defend itself in the face of Russia’s brutal, unprovoked, and unjustified war. Russia could end its war today. Until Russia does, the United States and our allies and partners will stand united with Ukraine, for as long as it takes.
