Recent US Aid Package to Ukraine
Earlier this month, Washington approved a $225 million aid package for Kyiv. The Pentagon later provided specifics on the aid, which includes HAWK air defense missiles, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, HIMARS ammunition, and 155 mm howitzers. This aid package aims to strengthen Ukraine's defensive capabilities and sustain its military efforts against Russian forces.
Significance of the Visit
The visit by the US congressional delegation highlights the bipartisan support within the US government for Ukraine's sovereignty and defense. It also reinforces the commitment of the United States to provide necessary military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine in its time of need.
