Biden administration set to announce new aid for Ukraine: sources

US to provide $1 billion in additional security assistance

Move comes as Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian cities

The Biden administration is set to announce a new $1 billion security assistance package for Ukraine on Thursday, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The package will include additional ammunition, weapons and equipment for Ukrainian forces, the sources said.

The announcement comes as Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv.

The new assistance package is part of the Biden administration's ongoing effort to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression.

The US has already provided Ukraine with more than $3 billion in security assistance since the start of the war.
