WASHINGTON — As Ukraine enters 11th week in conflict with Russia, President Joe Biden said Friday that he would sign a new weapon package for the country.

“I’m announcing another package for security assistance, which will provide Ukraine with additional artillery ammunition, radars, or other equipment. Biden stated that “the United States provided a historical amount of security assistance for Ukraine at a rapid pace,” but didn’t specify how much.

Biden’s most recent military assistance package is the ninth U.S. securitySince Moscow invaded its neighbor late February, the assistance installment has been in place. This funding is provided by the $250 million remaining in presidential drawdown authority. It allows the president without the approval of Congress to transfer weapons that are not part of the U.S. arsenal.

Last month, Biden requested $33 billion from Congress after he exhausted his remaining drawdown authority. His request was reiterated on Friday when he stated that the U.S., its allies and NATO must keep supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine in order to defeat Russia.

Biden stated that Congress must quickly approve the funding requested to help Ukraine in the field and at the negotiations table.

The last military aid package of $800 million, announced on April 21, brought U.S. security commitment to $3.4 billion. It included 72 howitzers and 144,000 artillery shells. There were also more than 121 “Ghost” tactical drones that are being rapidly developed.
