Speaking with his Ukrainian counterpart at the Pentagon on Tuesday, U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed that the nation is set to announce a $2.3 billion security assistance package to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia.

“Ukraine is in a tough fight and has been ever since the start of Putin's reckless war of choice,” Lloyd said, before revealing U.S. intentions for the eventual new weapons package.

“This package,” he said, “under presidential drawn-out authority, will provide more air defense interceptors, anti-tank weapons and other critical munitions from U.S. inventories.”

Lloyd also re-iterated U.S. support for Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO, adding that the U.S. will “take steps to build a bridge” for their membership in the North Atlantic Alliance next week, during the annual NATO summit.

“I look forward to discussing more ways to meet Ukraine's immediate security needs and to build a future force to ward off more Russian aggression,” Lloyd added.
