The United States is preparing a new $1 billion security assistance package for Ukraine.
This will include munitions for long-range weapons and armoured medical transport vehicles.
Reuters news agency added on Saturday that the package would be one of the largest so far and is expected to be announced as early as Monday.
It disclosed that President Joe Biden had not yet signed the package, and also cautioned that weapons packages can change in value and content before they are signed.
However, if signed in its current form, it would be valued at $1bn and include ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) as well as some 50 M113 armoured medical vehicles.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, the US has given about $8.8bn in aid to Ukraine.
