WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The United States will provide Ukraine with a new military assistance package worth $1.25 billion, the US media said on Friday, citing unnamed US officials.

The announcement is expected as early as December 30, just three weeks before the Biden administration leaves the White House, the report said.

The assistance package will include a wide range of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system, as well as Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds.
