"I am pleased to announce $6 billion in assistance to Ukraine", Austin said.

The Pentagon chief noted that these funds will allow the United States to purchase weapons for the Ukrainian military from American manufacturers. He also emphasized that this support package is the largest ever.

"It will include critical interceptors for the NASAMS and Patriot systems. More drones and other equipment. Large quantities of artillery munitions and surface-to-air missiles. To make this assistance sustainable", Austin said.

According to him, the United States also decided to provide Ukraine with long-range ATACMS systems. At the same time, the official added: "Ukraine can move to a long-range military campaign".

"It is very important that Ukraine has what it needs — it has power. This is not a single bullet, so to speak. This is a comprehensive approach to the use of other systems provided by other countries. Ukraine can move to a long-range military campaign", Austin said.
