CBSN
The Biden administration Wednesday announced a $250 million military assistance package for Ukraine.
The aid package — the final of 2023 — still needs to be approved by Congress. It will include arms and equipment, including air defense munitions, anti-armor munitions, ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, and more than 15 million rounds of small arms ammunition, a State Department spokesperson said to CBS News.
"Our assistance has been critical to supporting our Ukrainian partners as they defend their country and their freedom against Russia's aggression," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement, urging Congress to "swiftly" approve the package.
