President Biden To Sign New $100 Million Weapons Package For Ukraine

U.S. President Joe Biden has disclosed that he has approved a new weapons package worth $150 million for Ukraine's fight to counter Russia's invasion.

The Daily Sabah reported late Friday that Biden said; "I am announcing another package of security assistance that will provide additional artillery munitions, radars, and other equipment to Ukraine."

According to a senior U.S. official, the package includes 25,000 155mm artillery rounds, counter-artillery radars used for detecting the source of enemy fire, electronic jamming equipment and spare parts.

The artillery munitions appear to be meant for recently supplied US howitzers.

Prior to Friday, the Biden administration had already sent more than $3.4 billion worth of weaponry, ranging from heavy artillery to shoulder-held Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and drones.

It added that Biden and the rest of the G7 leaders, plus Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are meeting virtually on Sunday to discuss Western support for Ukraine.
