According to Breitbart News:

The Biden White House announced Friday (Oct. 28) a new weapons package worth $275 million is destined for Ukraine, bringing the total U.S. military aid to Kyiv to more than $18.5 billion since January 2021.

 

“Pursuant to a delegation of authority from the President, today I am authorizing our twenty-fourth drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine since August 2021,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared in the latest contribution to the conflict since the Russian invasion began on February 24, 2022.

The drawdown will boast weapons from the Pentagon’s own inventories, Blinken said.

He added, “We are also working to provide Ukraine with the air defense capabilities it needs with the two initial U.S.-provided NASAMS ready for delivery to Ukraine next month, and we are working with Allies and partners to enable delivery of their own air defense systems to Ukraine.”
