The Biden administration on Monday announced a $1 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, which includes munitions for long-range weapons and armored medical transport vehicles.

It is Washington's latest aid package to Ukraine, having already about $8.8 billion given since Russia sent troops into Ukraine in late February.

According to Reuters, the latest package includes munitions for HIMARS, NASAMS surface-to-air missile system ammunition and as many as 50 M113 armored medical transports.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) also promised $4.5 billion in budgetary support to help Ukraine fund urgent government needs, including payments for pensions, social welfare and healthcare costs.

The funding, coordinated with the U.S. Treasury Department through the World Bank, will go to the Ukraine government in tranches, beginning with a $3 billion disbursement in August, USAID said.
