The aid package is worth 500 million US dollars (around 477 million euros), as announced by the US State Department. Among other things, it includes drone defense systems, ammunition for the Himars missile launcher system and armored vehicles.
Just a few days ago, the US government announced a package worth around 988 million US dollars (around 935 million euros).
Under Democrat Biden, the USA is Ukraine's largest arms supplier and most important political supporter. However, a change of power is due in a few weeks: On January 20, Republican Donald Trump will take office in Washington - and the course with regard to Ukraine is likely to change significantly then. There are concerns in Kiev that Trump could drastically reduce US military aid after his inauguration. The Biden administration has therefore set itself the goal of using all funds already approved by Congress quickly and effectively in the remaining weeks.
